When she did not have a needle or thread in her hands, Susanne enjoyed relaxing in the bath.   She usually picked up a big, thick book to relax and read while soaking in the warmth of the tub.   Susanne often approached her tasks with a black coffee in hand, no cream or sugar for her.   Although, most recently she turned to an ice cold Perrier sparkling water to quench her thirst preferring it out of the can over the bottle.   Susanne also enjoyed listening to Rock and Roll music, especially to the tunes of her favorite band, The Beatles.
