Photography. Heart of Midlothian. Deuchars IPA. Walking (sometimes up hills). Geomorphology.
I like meeting people. I can’t say what type of people that I’d like to meet, as until I meet and talk to someone I can’t tell if we’ll get on. Plus there are different levels of friendship. There are people I chat to in my local pub that I would not wish to go on holiday with, if you get my meaning.
I like all sorts of music. Classical, Rock, Blues & Jazz. I’ll add more specific stuff later on....................................(a few days later)................Bryan Adams, John Adams, Johnny Adams, The Allmans, Blancmange, Area Code 615, Albert Ayler, Syd Barrett (R.I.P.), Chet Baker, Art Blakey, Blondie, Black Grape, Bjork, Karrin Allyson, Blood Sweat & Tears, Eric Bogle, The Bonzos, Bowie, Dave Brubeck ,Tim Buckley, Buffalo Springfield, Kate Bush, The Byrds, J.J.

I’m not really a movie person. Actually, I do like them but being single I don’t go on my own very often. I watch the odd one or two on the box, usually old ones.
Every year I debate whether to get rid of the set as I watch so little television. Just the odd film (see above) and some football. I only have the old-fashioned terrestrial programmes (for the younger readers, that's a bit like steam radio).
I read mostly thrillers, spy stuff and crime with a bit of literature thrown in. Most of my books come from charity shops. Oh, I’ve got a lot of photography books. I'm also partial to Bill Bryson's books because he's got a wicked sense of humour.
Not really got any. They vary from week to week. Last week it was thingy bob. This week it's someone else.
