Hello.
Away from the office I’m with my family most of the time, occasionally indispersed with a bit of learning, watching television and avoiding too much exercise, bike riding aside. My wife and children make up for my lack of sporting ambition and I’m very proud of them for doing so. At the time of writing, much of my spare time is taken up refurbishing our house to make it larger, air-tight, efficient, warm and fossil-fuel-free. Whenever you’re reading this, that project is probably still on-going!
