After spending 14 years — essentially alone — since my wife's death, I have had a surprising burst of (latent?) lust for the company and feel of a loving woman.

Intelligent, sensual, compassionate, with genuine concern for their fellow humans. Pet lovers are bearable, but not if they put that aspect of their lives ahead of all else. Concern for social justice and abhorrence of international capitalism and the misery it has inflicted.

Have none

The Wages of Fear, The Barretts of Wimpole Street, Sunday Too Far Away

Baroque, classical, jazz, blues, blue grass

Spooks, Silent Witness (the original), Waking The Dead

Ten Days That Shook The World, Mid-Century, Formosa Betrayed, Power Without Glory

I enjoy variety

AFL, cricket, tennis, table tennis, pool

Reading, listening to music, enjoying pub chats with interesting people
