I play this awesome game called go, for any of you who don't know what that is read about it on wiki Go.

It is basically the best board game ever made, and is the oldest continuously played game there is. Estimates but it at 3000-4000 years old.
If you want to know more, just tell me.

I am also learning to computer program, and I have become very interested in computers, although I don't know all that much yet.

besides music????

I really don't have time anymore for anything much else lately.

On the rare occasion when the spirit moves me, I do still paint(oils) or draw(pen&ink)

Sewing historically correct reproduction clothing including all the underpinnings.

For 25 years I had a kennel of Skye Terriers.

I'm always reading a book.

I keep working at French and Spanish.
I read whatever subject happens to be striking my fancy at the moment.
I write books. I don't sell books, I just write them.

Er, music. And reedmaking. Tweaking my flute's keys. That's all music you say? Ok...I also love to reed, er, read, and I know fair a bit about computers. I build them from scratch sometimes. I also make websites.

I'm another writer. I have sold loads of stuff, but there' so little money in it that I'd call it a hobby - or a compulsion.

Also:
Astronomy
Reading (anything, but a particular love of non-mathematical books on physics and cosmology, and SF)
Walking
Photography
Just getting into film making
Pubs
Local history
Old chuches
Web design

MAKING whistles (or does that count as "music"?)
Hiking/walking
kayaking
travel
R/C aircraft (nothing really exotic, just simple stuff to toss into the air and fly around)
ReadingI
I used to love to brew beer (whence came Brewerpaul) but that has fallen
by the wayside since I started making whistles.

Making whistles and things (like tabor-pipes, thank you, Walden!)
Backgammon and Mancala - two different board-games.
Reading is like breathing to me.
Writing
Sudoku
Doing the odd spot of drawing/painting/photoshopping.
Dancing! Yeah!
Getting together with my Pagan friends and mucking about in the Woods.

There aren't enough hours in the day but there are plenty of days.
