About me	Useful links
I am South African, of a substantial vintage. My gender should not be an issue, (although you should be able to figure it out!) My main interests include: Literature, with specialist interest in SF, Fantasy, children's literature; Art, with special interest in Impressionism, the Romantic movement, and individual other artists: Vermeer, Edward Hopper, Rodin, Escher & Michelangelo; Religion, particularly Christianity, but some interest in all faiths, History and anything nautical and aeronautical; plus sundry diverse odds and ends. I contribute to Wikipedia on an ad hoc basis, as and when I have free time, or when an enthusiasm runs away with me.
