Hobbies

[Peerless67]

What hobbies do you all have.

I have kept fish since age 8 started with gold fish in the pond then moved on to freshwater tropical, then some 25 years ago started keeping tropical marines. I keep a reef tank, it is my main hobby, but I have also been involved in breeding programs of tropical marine species. I had a stroke so gave up the breeding and now just keep a small reef tank.

My second is painting, I started painting following my stroke as therapy. I enjoyed it so much that I have just continued with it, I don't paint as much as I would like to but always enjoy it when I can.

Mine is messing with sound.
Creating sounds and then trying to make musice from them.
I use a MIDI keyboard connected to a computer and a guitar.
I use loops and make loops.
Soft synths tons of VST's.
I've been doing this about 18 years.
The last few years I've not done much as I'm simply not well enough.
Can't use my hands on some days.
But I've had and still have lots of stuff in folders which I finish as best I can and post them up.
Can be heard here ......

Mine is messing around with boats. Mostly other peoples', because it's a rich man (or woman's) game but we do have a Mirror Dinghy and a small motorboat, although that's ashore at the moment and I'm contemplating selling it because we don't use it enough and I get increasingly frustrated and fed up with the incompetence and dishonesty of the British Marine Industry, every time it needs fixing. There is no truer aphorism in the English language than "a boat is a large hole in the water that you pour your money into"

Nevertheless, I will be going to the Southampton Boat Show, where I will try (and fail) to convince the people at Sunseeker that I can afford one of their products and that consequently they ought to show me around one or two of them .

I work what currently feels like a million hours a week, and I'm also doing a degree at the same time.
Aside from growing veg in my allotment, my other sole hobby seems to be collapsing in front of the tv!

I dont have many hobbies as I either dont have time or the concentration to do them.

I do like reading however I have found the past couple of weeks my attention span has reduced but that may be due to the increase in a medication I take for my bipolar.

I used to do x-stitch but due to eyesight problems I cant do that either

I like music and can be found regularly with my headphones in or my phone playing music

And I've just discovered walking can be fun. I'm up to 5km a day so I'm doing OK.

Other than that my life consists of my family so I do things with my grandchildren, children and stepson

We became as good as addicted to a board game for a couple of years called Hare and the tortoise.

I had an uncle who used to collect empty bottles.
As I grew older I realised it was a polite way of saying alcoholic!
