About me: I can blow my own trumpet in person but I wish I could get a friend to write this for me! I live in Andalucia with my two sons and would like my life to be a bit more stimulating. I'm usually a one-to-one sort of person: not a party animal but not shy either. I like to dance now and then without getting too squiffy and I like thoughtful conversation, light or heavy. My Spanish is pretty good when I can stop fretting about giving the wrong impression, and my son is teaching me to swear like an 8 year old.
My imaginary friend writing this would probably mention that I'm a tallish, freckly short-haired Celt (a slave to my sunscreen) who can seldom be bothered to dress up much.
I live in a small town and love it - mostly. I like being familiar to my neighbours, even if it's as 'the englishwoman with the cocker spaniel and the unpronounceable name'. I don't rabbit on all the time but I love conversation. I like gardening, good food, sharing a bottle of wine, running in the campo (my friends indulge my insanity), watching films with and without subtitles and watching my kids play football and climb lampposts in the Plaza. I'm left-wing, greenish, peak oil aware, sometimes over-earnest but tolerant and I hope I can laugh at myself.
I'm looking for: Anyone who finds what I've written above at all intriguing. No, that won't do, will it? I don't want to change my life but if you think our unique foibles are compatible please write me a letter. If I go back and spell-check this I'll decide I have to rewrite the whole thing so here goes...
