My hobbies and interests

Cooking	Occasionally cook, when I do it's often veggie slop and pasta. Do eat meat sometimes (but that wasn't an option in the diet list!).
Shopping	Love small doses, loathe it in large doses.
DIY	Would like to, in fact sometimes I make a valiant effort at fixing something - and sometimes I'm successful!
Housework	I live in a very small house - I try to keep it tidy, otherwise I keep tripping over things!
Dining out	Like to eat out sometimes - will eat almost anything, except very spicy food, avocadoes, cream, coriander, and maybe one or two other things!
Movies	Rarely go to cinema, do enjoy it occasionally - think the last thing I saw was Ladies in Lavendar, and before that Captain Corelli's Mandolin!
Theatre	Rarely go to theatre - not much opportunity, and not much of interest.
Music	cheesey choones
Gigs	Noise-avoider!
Pubs	Pubs/bars good in small doses.
Clubbing	Never
Newspapers and magazines	Read headlines and articles of interest online - local paper and Guardian
Books	Love buying books - I wish I could read them as fast as I can buy them. Just enjoyed 'Her Fearful Symmetry' and 'The Very Thought of You'. Now reading 'Miss Savidge Moves Her House'. Favourites include 'Gridlock'. Occasionally enjoy book events run by local independent bookshop.
TV	Watch too much tv, enjoy documentaries, current affairs and some soaps.
Watching sport	Not for myself, watch with others if they are interested.
Playing sport	Never
Hobbies	Gardening, walking, research/study. Sounding more like a recluse with every answer, here!
