My two ten-year-old dogs are the focus of my days, from morning and evening walks to planning nice weekend trips with them. I love reading: Wodehouse, older whodunits and classic literature are my favourite fiction, and I occasionally read contemporary non-fiction if something grabs me. I rarely read modern fiction. I like classic movies and jazz music, but I'm no aficionado and couldn't tell you much about them. I work in a large bureaucracy and freelance as a translator, and I take a good deal of language classes.
