And offcourse yoga.
I see that football, reading and cooking seem to be a very common and even a bit of knitting!
When I'm not entertaining the kids and when I can't get to see Gillingham, I guess reading is my main thing so the book thread of a few days ago was very interesting for the recommendations!
in no partucular order red wine, real ale, country pubs with straw on the floor, gin, coitreau, martini. But seriously music, books, LOTR, two year old, sport, exotic locations,red wine and as of late internet abuse
Very fun to be on an electronic target range and blowing away those Figure 11s with live ammunition as they pop up 200 metres away.
Only downside: cleaning the rifle afterwards! At least after running you only have to clean yourself (and your clothes)!
Oh and running....
Internet abuse probably increases the possibility that I might have lots more time for my hobbies in future...............
weight training, making silver jewellery, eating, drinking, smoking, going to the movies, theatre, fun fares.

could go on & include stuff I dabble with from time to time, but I think that's enough...
But moving to 60 km south of the Arctic cirlce does affect your hobbies. So now I hardly ever climb (lack of non-crumbly rock - but went out yesterday for a bit of bouldering and can hardly move my arms today!), run loads (40 miles+ a week - oh the joys of working freelance), hardly ever go out on my road bike (lack of decent roads), brew our own beer instead of drinking at pubs - at a fiver a pint here,something of a necessity - and read lots. Also spend an extrraordinary amount of time keeping in touch with friends via email and occasionally MS Netmeeting.
Some things don´t change though - still spend hours each week with friends, talking and drinking and eating!
I haven´t yet been to the theatre here yet but I´m going to see Hamlet - in Icelandic - in a few weeks time. Time to re-read the play, I think!
Still celebrate when ManU lose!
Although I like steam railways and model railways, I don't like making real journeys by train much nowadays.
Scary, but true
I used to play chess both for the school and university (but had to give it up...when I discovered drinking). Also one-third of my degree was history (my own particular interest was industrial revolution).
Socialising (getting pi**ed) takes up the other 52 weeks.
I-Should-Know Shambler!
I'm not alone on this forum as a Blue viz: Gavo
Whoever said chess and drinking were incompatible?? We used to organise pint-a-point blitz tournaments at university - 10 minutes each for the game, loser buys the winner a pint, which has to be consumed in the 5 minutes before the next round starts....
Surfing Internet especially film sites
Surfing on boards rather than mouse. Polzeath 2/3 times a year
Films Sci fi fantasy specially. Very much looking forward to 2 towers
Reading same as above
Yoga
Cooking and eating
Laughing at Jumpets as VVV cute.
Thats about it.
guess I join the sad company. I like violins, making them and playing them. I'm better at making them than playing then. Still, I can be found in back desks of viola section of local unauditioned orchestra. Says it all, dunnit?
And I like sailing Mirror dinghies in small ditches and duckponds - not many waves.
And then I like to try and learn Chinese. Everybody should try and do something impossible once in a while.
Beyond running fast, that is.
Oh well.
Surely getting drunk would be a slow process then?
Anyone ever tried Strip Scrabble?
Apart from that it's Internet (this site a lot at the moment) and work.
Pretty sad really
