Music
The sound of Aeolian harps... in fact, any wind harp at all. The sound of Tibetan singing bowls. The sound of the shore. Rain. Anything that doesn't hurt my head.Movies
THE PIANO. I'm only putting that one because it was so like the stuff I dream of that it kind of sums me up.Television
Books
my 'read' shelf:
Too many. Impossible request! Umberto Eco's THE NAME OF THE ROSE was beyond my true understanding - far too erudite for me - but I still loved it. The American writer Anne Tyler makes me cringe and laugh out loud simultaneously. Almost anything by Alan Bennet. Old diaries written by any old bod.
Heroes
The unmatchable Thora Hird; Eddie Izzard ; Theseus, of course.

And on Amazon.co.uk! THE RIDDLES OF EPSILONSomething dark has awoken on the remote island of Lume:
Jess is not pleased when her parents drag her off to live on the weird little island of Lume. But then she encounters an eerie presence in an abandoned cottage, and her anger turns to fear when it begins to lead her through a series of creepy riddles.
As she slowly unravels the mysteries of Lume, she finds the writings of Sebastian, a boy who lived one hundred years ago and whose life contains unsettling reflections of her own. To her horror, the dangers he unearthed in 1894 now begin to threaten Jess and her family.
And if Jess does not unlock the riddles in time, she may lose her mother forever...

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone from ancient Egypt.Anyone from 1700's Blackburn, Lancashire.
A few people I've dreamed of ;
1) a first-nation austrailian woman called NIA AWONGO-WARRA, who comes to me and tells me 'what next.'
2) An old man called HAVE-A-GO JACK who spits and farts and shakes his head when I'm making a big mistake. He's trying to learn the didgeri-doo but smokes too much to be able to. He's a pilot.
3) A Being (or something) called JOHN BRIGHT, who moves through SPACE and TIME but never lands anywhere so I only see him in passing.
You?
