Who am I?

I’m a Scot (now), but I’m English (born)
I’m PhD Education, but I’m a Philosopher at heart (20 years teaching, I miss it at times)
I’m on a professional services contract, but I feel like an academic (developer)
I’m a reluctant, grieving matriarch with two cats (who I adore)

I’m an awful uke player, a lapsed pianist, an ex-coloratura soprano
I’m an avid knitter, an intermittent gardener
I’m a remixer, a tinkerer, a bricoleur
I’m a would-be poet who doodles in meetings

And I’m counting down to retirement, because I am tired to my bones.
