I spend most of my time in front of the computer but I also have a lot of things that I love to do when I'm well enough.

I like to bake (and have to because of the food intolerances). I make paper models and paint miniature figures as well as making my own greetings cards, not just for enjoyment but to help keep my hands working.

I enjoy reading, writing (for the web and elsewhere) and developing web sites, including maintaining sites of local interest. I love musicals and listen to cast recordings all the time. I also collect Happy Buddhas.

I watch a lot of sports, particularly rugby (Union and League) and cricket. Actually, now that Sky has the cricket coverage, I'm an avid Test Match Special listener.

I really enjoy telefantasy shows and I watch a lot of movies. I also enjoy Old Time Radio shows and have a growing OTR collection, including plenty of classic British Radio Comedy.

I occasionally play a Pickin' Stick and sometimes paint in watercolours -- both really badly; they're not so much a hobby as a form of self-torture!
