I am a lecturer at a local university. I am mostly clickity-clacking on my computer, or reading. But I enjoy watching interesting stuff on Netflix too. I try to walk up to Arthur's Seat at least once a week - at 90 minutes round trip, it is totally doable. I also like to get at least one padel game in a week - the club is 5-minutes walk.
Can't think of anything else. Any questions, shoot me a message.
