Erm...let`s see...What is fun at the moment? I`m doing home improvement on my little house and garden which is hilarious sometimes because of happy accidents and unintended consequences alike.
I post in a parapolitical/current affairs blog -
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wrh/ when I get the time.
I make herbal tinctures,tisanes,liquid extracts,creams,lotions,afterhaves, custom toiletries and household cleaners from essential oils and raw base ingredients as I am a trained phytopharmacologist.
I listen to anything from Blues to Baroque music on my hand-made British Hi-fi.
I watch mostly European films - extreme cinema,cinema verite,parodies,psychological horror etc.
I travel to the med,Europe and North Africa and love old architecture and ancient history.
I do home-brewed beer and alcoholic cider sometimes.
I cook...although I don`t follow recipes or weigh or measure ; I do it by feel - mainly Indian curries and some French,Italian,Thai,Polish and Mexican dishes - I can bake as well because I had to for my two, now grown up kids.
I play don and blackjack cardgames.I play snooker on a 12 foot table sometimes - I`m trying to improve my breaks and safety play.
I like going to pubs to sample "real ale" - (not mass produced beverages) that have history- there`s two pubs in Manchester that are over 900 years old that I frequent.
As I am partly Polish - I drink and bring back vodkas and rectified spirits from Polska.
I like cycling in the Pennines (mountains) near me and go swimming rarely.
I build and customise computers because I don`t like many things off-the-shelf"
As soon as I get the hang of this mad phone -
