Visiting Historic Sites not just Roman

 

I have been to virtually all the Castles across Britain, my fav being Warwick

 

I take lots of photos and cam-corder sites too, so I have my own library!

 

For relaxtion I play Snooker ( average 35 breaks now, eyes not so good )

1) Try and find free time when I don't want to sleep. <_<

 

2) RPGs or miniature battles. (Historic and Fantasy)

2-B ) Painting figures for said games and battles.

 

3) Read histories. No really, just about any history will do and I re-read many works several times as well as spot refreshing. (Right now, before bed matter is Goittein's A Mediterranean Society)

 

4) Walk - Great for gathering thoughts and tiring out tots.

Lets see, outside of being hit hard by college work and my job, my hobbies become less frequent but here they are:

 

Basketball, football, baseball- real sports

reading history even though that is what my college work contains- working on Livy's war with hannibal

running- all that beer has to be taken out somehow

Latin- study it so much it is like a hobby and I enjoy it

sleep is always a good hobby

bitching about bush and his theories of being an idiot

movies- zoolander is my fav.

video games- rome total war, play station 2, and game cube

dicking around on my pc

oh and of course drinking and having a good social life. <_<

I read a lot, mostly on ancient cultures and religions. I am a very good customer of Amazon.com and some book clubs. :-)

 

I listen to music, mostly classical and neo-classical. I do like classic rock/pop, though.

 

I've been known to draw, but I can't be considered an expert.

 

I play computer games when I have the time and money.

 

I love the outdoors, wildlife and animals.

 

I have an online journal which I use to keep in touch with a few friends. That's where I get a lot of the quizzes and internet links I post here - they get passed around the circle of online journals.

I go walking in the bush, and I like fishing in the local river.

 

I play computer games.

 

I read as much as I can.

 

I do a lot of oil painting. and draw every day.

 

I listen to music, mostly 80s, and the recent surge of neo 80s music is exciting to me.

 

I love the beach and surf when I can, but am happy just to beach comb.

 

I am also fascinated by space, and all things astronomical.
