Hello Mastodon, I figured I would wait a few days before an #introduction to try to get the lie of the Mastodon terrain.

I am originally from #yorkshire in the UK but emigrated to #canberra, #australia when I was a teen and, with a couple of breaks for good behaviour, I've lived here ever since.

I'm married to the love of my life and have two teenage children who drive me insane.

I've been a gamer since the #zxspectrum days and owned and managed a #videogames store in the 90s. #gaming and #retrogaming is in my blood.

My other interests are #film, #cycling and I'm also a #cubscout leader for the past 10 years. In addition, I like #sherlockholmes, #fantasyfiction, #drwho, #blakes7, #jamesbond, #misterfpga and #etymology and #classicmovies

I'm a part of the #twittermigration, looking for a place to make some connections, learn some things and explore my interests without the awful cacophany of those other socials.
