My hobbies and interests

Cooking	I cook vegetarian food and fish, spicy food, salads, and some baking when I have time. I like making bread.

DIY	yes - ok
Housework	I try - but time is precious, so somewhere in between
Dining out	thai, Italian, curry
Movies	independent, funny, world cinema. Really like Central Station- Brazilian film; Monster's Ball- grim but with a happy Hollywood ending, Ray-Jamie Foxx plays Ray Charles; Any Laurel and Hardy film
Theatre	yes - when i can
Music	1960's soul, latin, 1960's/70's reggae, Northern Soul, some jazz, classical, contemporary - all sorts - anything which moves me.
Gigs	yes - small gigs and pubs, not stadiums
Pubs	now and again
Clubbing	no clubbing - but like dance events, such as salsa and northern soul
Newspapers and magazines	yes - broadsheet now and again and lasts ages.
Books	yes, I read a lot, but then I forget what I've read. I loved Dervla Murphy's From Dunkirk to Delhi on a Bicycle,
TV	not any more, as i don't have a signal. If I did have I'd watch comedy, documentaries, current affairs, historical/cultural/nature and music programmes - but no soaps, nor Top Gear.
Watching sport	don't mind
Playing sport	walk, cycle, salsa
Hobbies	playing piano, drawing, decorating, gardening, making short, experimental films and just got an allotment so going to grow some veg

My hopes and dreams

In ten years I see myself	I ned to think about this
Who would I invite to a dinner party?	at the moment, how about Elvis, Marie Curie and Albert Einstein ?
My ideal date	a drink in a carefully chosen pub, but no food - well, maybe a packet of crisps
What would I never, ever give up?	materially - my piano, I think, because I love playing it and it belonged to my aunt
If I had to give a speech on a subject I was passionate about ...	I would avoid making a speech - but need to think about that
If I could visit anywhere in the world at any time in history	at the moment, West Yorks, around 1830, just to see what the Brontes saw.
If I had a million pounds to give to charity	yes
My "and finally" section ...	yes
