Interests other than Model Engineering

Just out of interest and if you are prepared to say..lol What 3 main interests do you have other than model engineering. You dont have to go into a lot of detail but I guess some of the answers could be quite surprising.

I will kick it off.

N gauge model railway: I have a scratch built layout (not finished) and apart from the track and loco,s most of it I have modelled myself.

Cooking: I just love cooking, no particular style of cooking but I do like trying to dream up recipes.

Ancient Egypt: Pyramids etc, dont quite know why but it has fascinated me ever since I can remember..

I could claim cycling but I don't anywhere near as much as I used to these days

Military History - esp. 20th C.

Astronomy - casual stargazer rather than detailed observer.

Reading - esp. but not exclusively Science Fiction (only the stuff I think is good!).

Cycling

Shooting - shotguns and rifles

Cooking

Music

Cars

Nice wine

Photography 

(Yes I know, that is seven, but they all rank as equally important!)

Oh, and my interest is engineering in general, not model engineering such as steam engines, no desire to make those.
