My name is Tim. I've lived in Edinburgh for about two years, after having moved here from the south of England to be with my ten-year-old son. He stays over in my room for about one weekend every two weeks, but sometimes more, especially in school holidays.

I'm 50, but I identify as more like 30. (This is a key point and deserves its own paragraph.)🙂

For work, I do Maths, Science and English tutoring with teenagers, which keeps me young-at-heart; I deliver counseling with all kinds of people, which keeps me grateful; and I do a few other less interesting things, which keep me financially viable.

I like to go out for a drink occasionally, and explore the city and the country that I still feel fairly new to.

My son and I are both very into films, TV, music and video games, all of which we play at sensible volumes. We have a TV, DVD and gaming set up in the lounge, which you'd be welcome to use, and we have another in my bedroom, so as not to monopolise the communal space.

I write songs, and used to make electronic music, but all my kit for that is in storage down south. So instead I'm trying to write a novel about a songwriter, in the hope that he'll have the success that I never had.

I'm fairly sociable and funny, but can also be quiet and introverted at times. I relate well to most people, so if you've read this far, I'm sure we'll get along fine.
