Well…

Chez Peewiglet comprises my little Border Terrier puppy, Piglet, my father’s cat, Puss-Puss, our Tamworth sow, Philomena, and me.

I have a number of hobbies, which include backpacking, playing acoustic guitar, running, writing, reading, writing and listening to music, eating, cooking and reading about food. (And about eating. Yum!)

I tend to focus largely on one hobby at a time, as a result of which my pursuit of my interests tends to be cyclical.

I’m also increasingly interested in, and concerned about, animal welfare, particularly that of farmed animals. It seems just plain wrong to me that we give so little thought to the dreadful conditions in which most of the animals that feed and clothe us exist.

I suffer intermittently from depression, and when I’m feeling down I tend to retreat from people and places. That’s not deliberate, and I’m mentioning it here because I know that it can sometimes feel to people as though I’m deliberately ignoring them. I’m not, though. It’s much more likely that I’m sitting here worrying about the fact that I haven’t been in touch.

I’m interested in quite a lot of things, and no doubt from time to time I’ll talk about some of them on here. I’m happy to discuss anything with others who have an opposing POV, but not to get involved in the sort of endless, circular, pointless, enervating argument that written communication on the internet sometimes seems especially designed to facilitate. For those, try Usenet *g*
