Around 66+ years
I sold/donated/dumped all my worldly possessions and moved back to Ireland in April 2025 with my American wife, Pat. We've settled in Ennis, Co. Clare.
Pat's a photographer. I retired from my day job as a software engineer at a giant multi-national tech company last year. I have a theatre background (acting and directing) and I've also done a bit of standup comedy — the hardest part is writing new material! I'm pretty introverted but I am good at faking it.
Back when I used to work I was part of a company-sponsored "listener" program. People would come to me to talk about their problems or challenges or whatever 1-1 in a confidential, safe and supportive environment. I'm not a licensed therapist but I was trained in how to provide support (NOT advice!!) and just be there. That's a long way of saying I am a good listener.
Pat and I both love visual arts, theatre, music. I'm into trad music too. And hiking! Oh yes, hiking. We'd both love to meet new people. Low pressure, casual. We're both low maintenance and easy going.
