The old Russian authors are my favourites, especially Dostoevsky and heaps of other kinds of books including autobiographies of inspiring people (eg Ghandi) and some esoteric ones. Music - Indian classical & some Bollywood hits; rock'n'roll, blues, some classical & many others. I sing in 'Hobart Jazz' as well as to myself all the time!

I like singing, organic gardening, bushwalking and travelling. I'm a good cook and love to discover beautiful natural places and swim in our clear, cold rivers and beaches - the best in the world - next stop Antarctica! That's in Tassie but now I'm in East Gippsland which also has plenty of beautiful nature spots.
