I gawp at clouds, take photos of rainbows and other such weather
related delights, enjoy watching steam trains and using computers,
and make bagpipes for a living. Beat that if you dare. Otherwise, I
think I'm a reasonably normal middle aged married lady....

I can't beat the bagpipe-making, and I am not a married lady, but I enjoy
all the other things you listed. I also fly gliders, sail yachts, paddle
canoes, ski and country dance; and I study rocks, photograph flowers, watch
birds and research family history.

The reason I have time for all this is that I am a middle-aged layabout.

PS I always try to get an aisle seat on night flights, preferably one with
no-one else behind me, so that I am not disturbed every time they get up,
sit down, fumble in the seat pocket or flex their knees. On day flights it
has to be a window seat of course.
