: About Me

My passion is ...

People, meeting them, talking to them, learning to see things from different points of view and becoming more aware of the diverse ways one can live a happy and successful life.

I know too much about ...

nothing. I am perpetually learning. The more I learn the more I realise how little I knew

My parents always told me ...

Not to stay underwater too long - I loved the silence at the bottom of the pool and watching the way the light played on the wavelets at the surface. I suspect they worried that one day I might forget to resurface.

My childhood ambition ...

My childhood ambition was to be free to do whatever I wanted to do. Having changed career paths many times I think I can confidently say I have achieved this ambition.

My favorite memory ...

originally comes from my childhood . Watching the myriad of shimmering bubbles stream off my fingertips, dancing and swirling as they rushed to the surface always amused me and still today infuses me with a calm sense of solitude and regeneration that cool world of the pool always brought me in my youth.

Why I write ...

Painting is too messy and metal work too dirty. Writing can be done anywhere, anytime, in numerous ways on any topic. It makes me feel like I have a voice, even if no one else reads what I've written.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Reading medical texts and Red Dwarf/listening to celtic folk tunes/ watching my casserole bubbling contentedly in the slow cooker

My first job ...

tea lady at a bridge club, a bigger teapot I have yet to behold!

My best moment ...

after an arduous mountain climb, sitting leaned up against a cave wall, sipping mint tea with my children, listening to Bedouin music, looking out from the cave over al-Dier (the Monastery) in Petra. Simply magical!

My inspiration ...

Serendipitous moments

3 of 6

Beautiful, slim, and very light, the MacBook Air is an eye-catchingly elegant machine to behold, but once you've stopped drooling over her aesthetically pleasing attributes and begun to look a little deeper, you see that this beauty queen of notebooks suffers some major deficits in comparison to her huskier cousin, the MacBook Pro, particularly in terms of processing power and speed. Without question, the most obvious feature of the new belle on the notebook circuit is the MacBook Air's trim form. Measuring in at just 0.76 inches, she is 24% slimmer than the bulkier 1 inch of the MacBook P...
