Me too!

My parents thought it was a cool word, so they named me after it. There's 5 of us, and we all have different surnames. Hippy parents, man.

Sadly, they weren't quite prescient enough to realise the importance of different initials, so we have to use TWO letters for card game scoresheets; but nah. Pity.

Welp, if you're ever in NZ and want to discuss the saltiness of the scientist who named southern beech "fake beech" (Nothofagus), I'm always keen :D

Made it to NZ for the first time in my life just over a year ago. Love it, definitely gotta get back

(and visit Les Mills in Auckland again of course... always nice to get to the place where my OTHER job came from)
