    I am a big fan of early church history, and have been known to collect ancient Greek and near-eastern pottery.

    How early do you like your church history?

      Starting right at the beginning (i.e. Pentecost), peaking around St Augustine, and I lose interest a bit after the Great Schism of 1054.

      I think things like the C7th debate around the monothelite heresy. Everybody by then agreed that Christ had separate divine and human natures, but couldn't agree on whether those two natures were united in a single will.

      Nowadays the only theological question we ever get is about where you can put your willy, which is really neither here nor there.

            I like old churches and cathedrals because I like to see how many ways the Church invented to rip the poor and ignorant off. Different countries and denominations did it in different ways.

              I went to the Mausolem of Constanza a few weeks ago. Fascinating, especially the early frescos.

                It's the architecture and art that really interests me. I'm no expert (or interest in becoming expert for that matter) on either, but I can spend hours looking round.
                Country houses and castles are interesting to me too...

                    I sleep.

                    My life is so full of doing stuff for/with others that I relish my time in the arms of morpheus.

                    Unfortunately I sleep very little.

                      Castles - yes

                      Country house interiors - no

                      Though I will have a look at their old gardens to work out how many gardeners they use to employ.

                      I like a bit of gardening myself very relaxing but I can't grow tulips, fruit and veg where I live outside accept for chillies due to the tree rats. It's amusing to see a chilli with a bite in it and the local tree vermin refusing to touch it.
