johanna (jo) Sounds fantastic, Asha ;) I also tend to employ my time writing. Other than that, my hobbies include horse riding, playing with (Harassing. What a good word) my pet cockatiel, and spending hours on the internet, drinking hot chocolate and obsessing over Tolkien :)

Difficult that is, since I stick to reading in whatever little time I get. But writing, running, teaching and harassing my two-year old retriever are timely activities I engage in. :) How about you, Jo?
