about me

My photo
Autolycus
London, Great Britain, United Kingdom
70-something, mildly interested in and slightly knowledgeable about a lot of things, but - to my surprise - passionately devoted to little. Londoner born and bred, dyed-in-the-wool Guardianista (I might be one of the wokerati, but I'm not that keen on tofu) and quietly pottering through retirement.
