Hobbies

[Laurentina]

I play guitar and when I have free time I like to play with my PSP or Nintendo DS

I used to enjoy climbing but it is limited to the odd Peak District scramble when no one is looking these days. I walk, I watch wildlife and I like to spend days looking for ancient stone circles (there are hundreds around here). I used to be a Scout leader but now I just go along to teach navigation and outdoor skills when needed or if they need a tame Buddhist for their badge work.

Most of my time is spent studying with the Open University where I am aiming to complete a BA in Classics in the next couple of years (I already have a BSc in Maths and am hoping to go on to another BSc in Astrophysics if possible). I don't watch TV and rarely listen to music but I do enjoy writing poetry, reading and listening to the radio.

The remainder of my time is split between trying to lose weight (a hobby in itself) and Chappism (look for The Chap Magazine on the net for more info on that one).
