Right, time for #introductions and to mingle. Not a natural mingler but here goes.

I'm retired academic systems librarian in North #London

Keen but slow #parkrunner mostly at #allypallyparkrun #parkrun

Watcher of many sports but #football & #cricket near the top. #barnetfc #haringeyboroughfc

Music tastes are wide but esp. #folkmusic #fairportconvention and old prog etc. & #bbcradio3

Oh yes, and I've just been diagnosed with #cancer so I love the #nhs (and hate the Tories).

Hello!

@Tim_Fletcher hello Tim, welcome to Mastodon 👋
@elaineford Hello Elaine. Thank you for the welcome. 👋
@Tim_Fletcher Hello Tim! I’m new to mastodon too. I hope the new adventure or is ‘instance’ appropriate? I’m learning. I read your intro and wish you all the best!
@Tim_Fletcher Hi Tim. Keen #parkrun fan here - slow, but I still go! Cancer survivor (5 years ago) and share your high regard for our #NHS and oncology support. They made the unwelcome experience palatable and, dare I say, even humorous on occasions.
Hope you enjoy the fediverse!
@Tim_Fletcher Hi! I am not a natural mingler either, but it feels a bit easier on here. Welcome!
