: About Me

I am a Caucasian 57 year old male, in a country, South Africa, where I am basically to old to pale, so I have turned into the ranks that many of us have had to travel. I have become the House Husband.

I have donned my apron and put my hair in curlers, I look after the domestic aspects, cook (which I love), tidy up, and make sure that the house and kids, in this case my Mother-in-law, are seen to.

At heart I am still a hippie, as I grew up in that period and a lot of my thinking and reactions to certain situations are still dictated by that era.
