In short,
I like various sports: mountaineering would be my favourite, but
it is a bit difficult when you live in London. Thus, I usually run,
cycle, and sometimes climb indoor. In general, I like all the sports where you
sweat a lot.
Contact me if you want to share your time
with me doing any of the useless things above.
I like cooking. In fact, the sports above are used just to burn
all the calories that I eat. I love cooking for my wife and for my
friends. I cook bread, pizza, soups, meat, polenta; I had some success in
producing cheese at home. I cook mainly Italian dishes, sometimes
greek or French. Contact me, if interested.
I like good wine and, sometimes, beer and cider. I managed to
make a few pints of cider at home, but it's finished... I would
like to join you if you have any of the above.
Trivia: My Erdos number is 4: P. Erods -> Henry A. Kierstead -> U. Faigle -> L. Liberti -> F. Raimondi.
