Books, travel, blood types, theological speculation. Pig-sticking I found quite interesting, although I have not had opportunity to practice the sport outside India, where I learnt it in 1924.
Music
Tin ear, I'm afraid. I can force a tune from the tin whistle, but that's about it.
Movies
The cinema is an excellent place to get in out of the cold and take a nap, particularly when being pursued by a malefactor.
O Jerusalem (in which we are cold in Palestine), Justice Hall (in which we are cold in a country house), The Game (India in the last days of the Raj), Locked Rooms (my Californian past)
Heroes
The longer I live, the wider my travels, the greater my appreciation for the everyday heroism of the working man and woman.
About me: I enjoy reading books while wandering the Downs, sleuthing with Holmes, and eating one of Mrs Hudson's delicious meals after a strenuous day's investigations. I do not particularly enjoy being banged over the head by a villain, although it seems to happen with distressing regularity, when in Holmes' company.
As I ease into my second century, I find that suppleness of mind comes in the same way as suppleness of body in my youth--one must simply practice. Thus I continue to compose my memoirs, attempting with each volume to duplicate the immediacy of the experience, be it time or place. At the present I am working on the ninth, concerning the summer of 1924 when Holmes and I returned to England after a lengthy absence. Follow my literary agent's progress with the new book on her web log, under the category 'The Language of Bees.'
Who I'd like to meet: One of those stupid criminals the police say inhabit the underworld; those Holmes and I come across are far too intelligent to make one feel entirely easy about the security of the world.
I love your memoirs and am reading "The Language of Bees" at this time,I don't want to finish it because I will miss you! I must re-read the others, yes?

I find myself, for the first Monday in weeks (fifteen of them, in fact) with nothing to post. In any event, certain other areas in my life are beginning to heat up, which means that I shall be out of communication for a time. However, I believe that tomorrow, my literary agent, Laurie King, will be posting what she calls "Mary Russell's MyStory" on her web site, in a format that is bound to bring amusement to many.
For a bit, I shall limit myself to posting on the whimsically named Twitter. However, I understand that, towards the end of summer, Ms King intends to embark for the United Kingdom. Perhaps then I shall find myself at leisure to post here in MySpace.
I bid you a good summer (or winter, if you dwell in the Antipodes) and a pleasurable exploration of The Language of Bees, the ninth volume of my memoirs.
As a brief interlude to the ongoing saga of my story (which will draw to a close in the coming weeks), I would like to mention that my literary agent, Ms. Laurie R. King, has embarked on what she calls a "book tour" to discuss the latest edition of my memoirs, The Language of Bees. As I have in the past, I may even try to stop in at one of her lectures myself (in disguise, of course) to ensure that she does not take too many liberties with the details of my life. Although travel becomes more and more arduous with every year, I imagine that the aeroplane flight to the United States will be a far cry from that which I endured in the episode recounted in The Language of Bees. For details of her book tour, please refer to her web page at http://www.laurierking.com/?page_id=1263.
I would ask that you please refrain from accosting any elderly lady...or gentleman, who might be standing at the back of the room while Ms. King speaks. They will most certainly be entirely innocent, and not appreciate the attention. If I appear it will be in a disguise that would do Holmes proud, and not be something anyone would expect. My husband would be horrified if I stooped to merely using my age to remain anonymous.
Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Judy Garland Hi! Thank you so much for your friendship. I would love to check out your latest work. I hope you're enjoying your day. Many blessings to you always, enjoy! xoxo Embracing Angel
