I was quite enjoying your post until you mentioned the dreaded photoshop. When I can't get film anymore then I will hang up my camera bag.Photography is a great hobby that I follow. It has several benefits
1. Gets you out of the house walking around for new things to photograph so good exercise
2. You look out for things of beauty that you might have missed if you were just walking
3. Evenings and rainy days can be spent with Photoshop improving the photos and reliving those glorious walks
What a terrible thing to do! But I like it!!!That reminds me of taking a class of 10 yr olds on a school trip and them rolling down a bank where wild garlic was growing - wow did they stink!
Consider hydrotherapy. I have not done it myself but watched as a group of others did when I was at a public pool. It is intended as low-impact exercise for people our age (I'm 67), but it is also a way to be comfortable in shallow water for half an hour while doing an activity and getting used to being in the water.Changing the hobby slightly, I am 66 and very afraid of the water although I love boats etc;
I need some good tips on how to overcome this fear and learn how to swim, then I could try swimming as a new hobby.
As a traveller who takes a lot of photos I found the problem was not a lack of film years ago, but a lack of processing facilities. I switched to digital in 2005 and have not regretted it.I was quite enjoying your post until you mentioned the dreaded photoshop. When I can't get film anymore then I will hang up my camera bag.
Thanks Alan, I will look into that.Consider hydrotherapy. I have not done it myself but watched as a group of others did when I was at a public pool.

I would love a decent camera but I am far too lazy to carry one around.

I recently joined a Rock Choir and I'm loving it. Also have just started trying out new nail painting technics, just for me, did consider once doing a nail technician course...maybe one day. But joining the Choir was the best thing I've done for a long time.
I think there Is a national one called rockchoir.com but mine was set up by a local music school and I think It suits me better as we learn at our own pace and can have some input to the songs. We also do awesome mash ups, where we mix 2 or 3 songs together.Lenny, that sounds amazing! I didn't even know there was such a thing as a Rock Choir. I'm going to look into whether there's one in my area
We have something similar in our village and while I'd love to try it I am far too self-conscious about my singing.I think there Is a national one called rockchoir.com but mine was set up by a local music school and I think It suits me better as we learn at our own pace and can have some input to the songs.

Ahhhh I did suspect with the name .... really!I play the alto sax and am working towards grade 3 and I've just taken up long boarding! Keeps me fit and I love it
