A good adventure movie, good sci fi and a lovely, romantic tear-jerker now and then. Also appreciate a good laugh, when I need it (Meet the Parents movies are great for that).

I enjoy Michael Buble, Helmut Lotti, Australian country music and some of the classics.

I read a wide variety of books. Particularly love anything on cosmology, anthropology and the earth's early history in general. I also love the Ladies No.1 Detective Agency series and just about every book I can read on Provence and the Mediteranean. My favourite books of all time though are the Roman series by Colleen McCullough. Also enjoy a good sci fi story.

My sister and I live in Albany which is right on the south coast of Western Australia. It is a beautiful part of the state with spectacular bays and headlands and, of course, a lovely cool climate. Until recently I was a full time carer for my elderly parents and as they are now in a retirement home here in Albany I hope to return to part-time work and enjoy the beautiful area of the Great Southern Region.
