Reading, puzzles, bush walks

I enjoy reading novels of all kinds, but I have a particular fondness for true crime and mystery genres. Challenges such as jigsaw puzzles and crosswords stimulate the mind and keep me sharp. For relaxation and exercise, bush-walking is my go-to activity; I cherish being amidst nature, listening to wildlife, observing the flourishing plants, and embracing the tranquility for inner peace.
