Three things you're not interested in meme

The other day kazzy_cee posted a friending meme, and I signed up -- if you want to join in, say so in a comment, and I'll give you three topics or spheres of interest I think you're not interested in, and we'll see what you come up with to surprise us. (Though kazzy_cee and I have similar friends lists, so I won't be surprised if most people have already signed up

I must sit and do more FutureLearn courses. I’ve got out of the habit of sitting at the computer!

Good answers!

It’s better for your eyesight!

FutureLearn’s great - there’s a wide variety of subjects, it’s still possible to do it for free (though they’ve started to charge for some of the bells and whistles) and you do get to know the people you’re doing it with, though you don’t really make friends like you do here.

Thanks :-)

Poor Swee'pea. He was so cute. Such short lives they live.

What a shame you can't enjoy fruit; you certainly make some beautifully colourful icons from it.

I have never read any Shakespeare plays. The sonnets, yes, but not the plays. I do love seeing them performed, though. There are still a couple that I have never managed to catch that are on my unfulfilled ambitions list (plus at least one I will NEVER go to see again *g*)

That’s the sad thing about hamsters. When you’re young, two years is a reasonable length of time, but when you get to my age, two years passes in a flash. Still, he made a big impact in his short life.

You didn’t read the plays at school? I’m the other way round - I’ve read far more than I’ve seen. I’ve started going to the live in HD broadcasts at the cinema, but they tend to stick to the more popular ones.

Is it Titus Andronicus?

No, our 'O' Level set text play was Shaw's Devil's Disciple.

*laughs* How did you guess? *rhetorical question really* :-)

Swee'pea was a cutie. We had some dwarf hamsters during D-d's teens and they were lovely pets.

I must look at FutureLearn - I had forgotten it existed and I am so pleased that you have reminded me.

[ningloreth]

They are lovely - and just right for little hands.

FutureLearn’s a lot of fun. They have a wide range of subjects - including a lot of medical subjects, which are probably of more interest to you than to me - you can still do the basics for free, and you do get to know people, at least for the duration of a course, and sometimes meet up again on other courses.

Goodness, I would definitely not have guessed at literature or pets as something that didn't interest you!

That's a delightful quote fromHopkins, who I don't know of at all but must look up.

[ningloreth]

I'm sure you'll love Hopkins's nature poetry. Once you've read it, it tends to stay in your head. I can't see chestnuts lying on the ground without thinking 'Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls'...

... also, walking & brain totally counts as exercise!
