a good idea indeed.
Well, I like reading a lot--which is why I became a translator of Arabic Literature. In fact I combined my two favourite pastimes - reading literature and learning foreign languages - and after retiring from the bank I started a second carreer, that of a translator. In Greece, there is a State Law for people with thalassaemia: they can retire after 15 years of service and get a full pension. That's what I did and now I occupy myself more creatively.
Apart from that, I love travelling, going out with one or two special friends - but that's that, I am not very social - going on an excursion, watching theatre and of course writing in this site -- that' s
something I have been following for the last two years and I am happy for it.<Thanks, Andy!>

Lena. you are such an interesting woman. I also love foreign languages. I am very interested in your job, because since almost 6 months we try to get publish (and translate) a book from a friend. Recently we received not so good news, so this person is very sad. So if you have any tips.. As for Arabic. I have one friend who studied Arabic, one friend who studied Arabic Philosophy and a mother who learns Arabic.
Now i must first read the rest of the topic. I was joking when I said I have no hobbies. Ofcourse I have them, I only find rarely the time to do it.
Reading: books, law, medical, science, diaries, biography, history, geograpic. You name it, and I will read it. (You can always give me tips). My next target will to start reading poetry. That's not really my interest, but I know it will be good for me. Any tips/help is welcome.
Writing: but I don't do it anymore in the way I used to do it.
Music: more listen than creating music myself nowadays.
cooking.. Especially things from abroad
gardening: used and never in the winter
travelling; more in my dreams, books and TV programs
And in the past I was very creative with paint, but I lost that completely. That's probably the worst change
Photos: Before the summer I was working hard to work my photo bags away in photo albums.
I have the feeling that I do forgot something, but I cant remember what at the moment.

Zaini,
Dore is still dreaming about her own secret hobby - which I am guessing is - shopping for chocolates and eating them.
(It COULD be my secret hobby too.. but I'm not telling... )
