Now I’m in my twilight years, it’s music, music and not forgetting music. When I’m not actually playing, its on the spinner or in my earphones plugged into the lappy.
I have pulsatile tinnitus, so silence actually drives me loopy, therefore music is loving therapy to my brain

You seem to be very fond of equipment, what about that?
I think mine is (aside from creating things), is nature and space. I adore bleak windswept moorland, and desolate landscapes, running water, waterfalls, and just natural spaces in general.

Sorry to sound corny, but my main love was my children and bringing them up, I love being a mum
After that, without a doubt, books and reading, all my life and so much pleasure, plus a huge collection
And then the ocean, have always swum and loved just watching the waves roll in. Being near the sea feels like home

I have had love affairs with several things over the years. I’m a self confessed serial hobbyist, some of which endure, such as crafts, sewing and photography, some of which fall by the wayside, such as pottery, foreign languages and computing.
But I have a corner of my heart that will forever be reserved for Dalmatians. Our first dog was a Dalmatian, and she lived with us until she was 14 years old. She was scatty as hell, caused us so much trouble because all she wanted to do was escape and run off, leading us a merry dance trying to catch her before she ran into the road and caused an accident. And we could never, ever leave any food in her reach, because she’d eat it in seconds.
I remember my then 16 month old son learning how to open the fridge for the first time, to help himself to some orange squash. In the few minutes I took my eye off the ball, Bunty polished off half a pound of butter, a pound of sausages, a bowl of cream and half a dozen eggs, complete with shells and cardboard box. And my son drank about half a pint of undiluted orange squash 
She really was a Royal PITA, but the gentlest, most loving creature you could wish to meet. There was a time my son, at 8 months old, pulled himself up holding onto her rigid bed, then let go suddenly and sat down hard on Bunty’s paw. The one that was bandaged up because she’d pulled a claw out the day before. She yelped in pain, and then hurriedly licked my son’s face as if to say ‘it’s ok I know you didn’t mean it.’
So every time I see a Dalmatian my heart melts. They just feel so very special to me

Playing with my Dogs , saxophone playing, good weed, a good walk, pancakes, singing like nobody is listening…. cause nobody is😂, motorcycle riding, swimming in the ocean, a perfect cup of coffee, a meaningful smile, listening to the birds or my favourite ballad, being in harmony with my surroundings, being surrounded by nature………
An endless list.

Yes, I had a perfect cup today. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does there’s nothing better. You wish it could last forever.

That’s wasting good olive oil. Try coconut oil or KY Jelly instead

That’s all fine and dandy if you have some to hand. Otherwise, olive oil can ease things into place, and during my earlish days, most people had olive oil in the kitchen

Yeah, but gently does it mind.
