What I am current getting up to.

I teach 4½ days a week either in my classroom or privately at my student’s homes. In the remaining time I update or write my lessons. I also find time to fix PCs – now and again.

I play poker at least twice a week and I sometimes manage to squeeze Tuesday evening poker in as well.

I try once a month to visit my 98-year-old aunty, who is doing remarkably well for her age. She even plays bridge twice a week. It keeps her mind active.
