Hi,
I have other interests too and also Macs are one of them. I was fortunate to
be introduced to Macs many years ago and have been a Mac Addict ever since,
so if you want to post about Macs you will have my ear! I recently upgraded
to an Emac which I really like. There is a load of stuff about macs on the
internet.
I am also a foodie and natural health enthusiast. I sometimes post here about
my vegan diet, which I believe helps my lupus . Being a vegan for me goes
with being an animal lover and keen on all things to do with environment. I
am also interested in psychology, which I have studied for many years, and
ancient history (pre-romans). I also like making things from recycled
materials! Unfortunately I have developed co-ordination problems and
neuropathy in my hands so I am not very good at it, but I do it anyway.

Thats good. I do my own Christmas cards from recycled bits and pieces, its
good fun and people really appreciate them. I don't usually start this early
though!

I do a bit of gardening when I visit my mother, but unfortunately I don't
have my own garden. I have some houseplants and I grow sprouts to eat,
mustard seeds and mung beans mostly. I tried a mushroom kit once but they
didn't grow!
I also do volunteer work with adult literacy students once a week.
