My Hobbies are varied, you may find something of interest here.

I love to party as you can see by looking at the silly pages. What can I say the drink makes me do it

I'm into collecting Tennis Memorabilia and am a member of a Tennis Collectors Society. I hunt around antique shops to add items to my collection which was started in 1980. How I began to collect is told in my how I started collecting page. Take a look at an item from my collection, I will update it hopefully on a weekly basis.

Part of the collection includes tennis trading cards and phone cards, and as there seems to be a lot of interest in these I have put in seperate pages for them.

I like to listen to music more than watching TV, unless it's cartoons, my music taste goes from one end of the scale to the other. The list of artists in my collection so far are on my music page. There may be more than one CD or record in some cases but don't hold that against me. Check out the cover of the Surprise Sisters album, it's neat.

Did I tell you I play tennis at the National Tennis Centre (snob). It's now called Melbourne Park thanks to Jeff Kennet, he should have left it as Flinders Park but some people like to make themselves known. I play competition there and my partner Michael and I have made the finals a few times however we have yet to win one. I go to the Australian Open every year and watch the last 4 days play, occasionally I go at the start as well because there can be some great matches being played on the outside courts.

I love to go out with my friends Anne and Jason and a few others, we are normally out every week-end for a meal and sometimes end up at the new Crown Casino in Melbourne, I make a donation every time I go there. I play a game called Sic-Bo, it looks complicated but is actually quite easy and it pays a little better than most table games. Jason loves the big wheel and Anne seems to like Roulette.

I like arts and crafts and used to make marquetry pictures when I was younger, that's where you cut out shapes of wood and put them together to make a scene or some other thing of interest. I then progressed to macrame and tried to sell what I made at the local markets, boy was that a flop. My sister makes dolls clothes and because she makes them from real peoples paper patterns I usually end up trying to scale them down to fit a doll for her, have you ever tried to take a dolls measurements?

I'm now into computers and have a diploma in Mainframe Operations and other certificates, can you believe it !! When I got onto the Internet I couldn't understand what took me so long to do this, it's great fun. I've met lots of people and bought things for my collection from it, and those newsgroups are great to read, especially the ones who make bitchy comments on people.
I just love reading that.
