About me

Whether it was luck or something duller, some small accident brought you to this corner of the catalogue, and here you are reading about a stranger. I've always thought that was a strange and rather lovely thing — that a person can want something badly enough to go looking, and end up somewhere they didn't plan on.

So: welcome. I've got nowhere to be.

I'm educated in the way that means I read too much and argue about it, well travelled in the way that means I've been cold in a lot of countries, and properly nosy about whoever ends up opposite me. Not politely attentive. Actually nosy. People notice the difference within about ten minutes and most of them aren't used to it.

What I offer, if that's the word, is somewhere without judgement in it. A place you can stop being the version of yourself that answers emails. Tell me the thing you've never said out loud and watch how ordinary I make it sound — I promise you it's less remarkable than you think, and I promise you I've heard stranger.

I speak English and German, and the German arrives without warning when I'm cross or delighted, which is most of the time.

I won't rush you. I don't watch clocks and I don't keep one in the room. Some evenings end in conversation and some don't, and I've never once minded either.

If any of this sounds like something you've been missing, you know where to find me 🥀
