matthewpiano: I went to Chatsworth once when i was younger. Now THATS a place that sticks in your mind forever! Absolutely fantastic. The thing i remembered the most about it (apart from the overall exterior), was the painting of the violin that looks 3d, but is flat. Pretty amazing. Really fools you!
Monica: think I had Sam Adams a while back - wasnt too bad from what I remember. There are a couple of 'boutique' US beers I would like to get around to trying. But I honestly believe that Belgian beers are the finest creations in the alcohol world!!

without any order, but the kids are first : spending time with my kids (when they let me sleep through most of the night ) cooking (new things every time) having guests over needlework knitting decorating reading (philosophy, religion, history, classics. Mostly Russian, but my favorite as of today is Julien Green) educating myself in every possible way looking for the old friends of mine - I lost almost all connections after moving to the States...

Take it you like women then.
After reading a few posts I realised I have forgotten my foremost hobby....Drinking.
I got back to my house after the school holidays and seriously thought I might be an alcoholic as the consumable contents of my kitchen were as follows
-one packet of noodles
- one tin of tuns
- one kilo of frozen mince
- one frozen lasagne which thank god I found otherwise it was mince cocktail for dinner
- one jar of chilli paste
- one jar of olives
- nine stubbies of Tooheys new
- seven bottles of wine (white and red)
- one large bottle of triple distilled vodka
- two bottles of baileys
- one quarter bottle of Kahlua
- one quarter bottle of Creme de Menthe
.....I didn't go shopping for another two days!!!
