Hobbies

Sudoku, although this is intermittent.

Growing things, orchids, flowers, pretty much anything from seed. I have a 12ft palm, trees, shrubs, various things I gave grown from seed. All my window ledges and garden are filled with plants.

Reading. Although I am finding this hard and the moment.

I can never get on with sudoku either, my maths isn't good enough, I can't seem to do any number puzzles. I do enjoy cross words, both concise and cryptic, alpha puzzles and wordsearches

It isn't about numbers really. You just need 9 different things. There is no maths.

You can do it with 9 different shapes, like square, circle, triangle, star. I used to have books of sudoku many years ago. There were always a few with other symbols. They were my favourite ones.

You just need 9 different things in each row, column and 3x3 square. It is pattern matching, prediction and elimination. There are techniques and tricks for the harder ones.
