Title: Top 3: Pastimes?
Post by: Leon on 23 June 2011, 02:31:26 AM
Obviously, we'd all like to spend all our spare time working through our lead mountains, but when you're not painting or gaming, what other hobbies do you enjoy?

Gave up competitive sport after a back injury so now my 'hobbies' are:

1.  Cricket - pretty much eat drink and sleep it
2.  Rugby (League)
3.  Golf

Dont really do hobbies other than wargaming

2. Exploring historical sites, stately homes etc.

You lot are pretty active, puts me to shame...  :-[

1. Relaxing...  usually in front of the TV catching up on some of the Sky+
2. Working out... got a gym setup in the loft, but haven't done it much since breaking my foot at the end of '09.
3. Exploring... last year I started taking the eldest out for random walks in the countryside to see what we could find, so I'm hoping to get chance to do that again over the next couple of months.

Very delicate area to injure, and can take a long time to heal.  Good luck with that.

As for frogs, Leon just avoid licking them and you'll be just fine :D

Yeah, but why should I pay for them all over again? I just want them on a medium that won't be obsolete in ten years time.  :-SS

They are availble on CD from the Beeb these days. It's just that my previous car only had a cassette player. I shall probably find when I've finished that technology will have moved on and they'll need to go onto something else. ~X(
