Welcome to my Space
I hope to get around to editing this ramble and even attempting GuideML at some time. (This is why I have joined the Time Travellers Guild! I never seem to have enough of it.)
Interests - practically anything, except perhaps some sports.
Been there(but not everywhere)! Done that (or perhaps not)!
Like reading Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Historical (preferable with some historic fact rather the Histerical)but have been noted to pick up anything to read from the odd Classic, a book mentioned on the Big Read, Pratchett (of course), Harry Potter to the Beano and the Argos catalogue (if I'm really bored and there is nothing else around that I haven't read already).
Was known in my youth for adding up all the columns of numbers in telephone directories.
Like Cooking, all styles - from Boiled Beef & Carrots, Yorkshire Puds, Faisenjun, Dolmas, Dim Sum, Feijoada. With a collection of fresh goodies from the shops am often seen browsing for a recipe until it becomes absolutely necessary to cook something for the horde to eat! Have extensive collection of Cookery Books.
Also interested in local history (wherever we live), amateur dramatics, archaeology, nature, the environment, animals (we have over 40 on 4 legs, and some bantams), trivia, earthquakes, volcanos, continental drift, paleontology. Have quite good selection of illustrated guides to .....
Design and paint pantomime and other scenery for local AmDram Group. Have also designed and made period costumes for them. Have quite a good selection of books on Costume....
Have been known to have a game of Bridge, Backgammon or Mah-Jong and have played loads of competitive card games(for loose change). Have no interest whatsoever in Chess.
BSc½ failed (Geology, Zoology, Maths), my college days are long passed.
First work - a programmer, systems analyst, on one of those giant Main Frame computers that took up at least 3 floors.
Then married with 2 children (gave the .4 away to help a friend out with her third)which are still? keeping me busy.
Current status:- Married, 2 offspring, but house has been occupied by at least 6 people since last May. (At that time we had 4 dogs and one house cat - now have 6 dogs and 2 house cats)

(Sep 12, 2005)
Some time ago my uncle researched a family tree for my mother's side of the family. This is what I have been doing all year so far! and why my presence has not been here.
Found some new relatives - sort of sixth and seventh cousins - and doing quite well really, seeing as that I am in Portugal and all the records are in the U.K.!

Having had a large party of visitors over for Christmas has kept me rather busy! The last one left yesterday.
I am now flat out scenery painting (Ha ha!).
Although due to local theatre bookings we cannot produce the pantomime until mid-February. The Old Time Music Hall, which took place just before Christmas, occupied our workshop for longer than agreed. We are now two weeks behind, and unfortunately my consultant appointments keep falling on the days that have been arranged for painting!
As chief designer, I must now make haste and get the scenery sketches coloured in so that someone will have an idea of what to do whilst I am away!

Eventful trip?
(Nov 3, 2004)
Forgot to mention that have got the part of the Good Fairy  .
Missed first rehearsal though, as was slightly involved in carnage on the 125 and had to wait for 3 hours for everyone to be interviewed, breathalized, etc., thus not getting to the run through.
Having just been driven 5,600 miles through Europe with no problems - still they always say accidents happen near home (well - if one calls 20kms 'near'). Eldest daughter drove us to Italy where we joined a party of 40 in a mediaevil castle in Umbria to celebrate my brother's 25th wedding anniversary.

Panto time already??
(Sep 11, 2004)
Set design for the Panto commencing - Mother Hubbard (set in the Wild west). Village Street(UK), Prairie, Indian encampment, log cabin interior and Saloon Bar. That's 5 backdrops!!!!
Well, we've got all the Indian costumes from Peter Pan and my two have rodeo outfits and lots of props.
Auditions and production meeting on Monday week.
Shall I audition for
Dandy - The Wonder Dog (dancing possibly a problem there!)
The Good Fairy (only two small entrances)
Old Tumbleweed (elderly ardent flame of Mother Hubbard)
The grizzly bear (Act II only)
or
The Medicine man??
Probably try for all of them and end up in the back chorus line!
