Other hobbies

Brilliant, you'll be a poor man all your life if you follow his dreams doing that sport. An old friend of mine up here takes his Daughter everywhere round the country, he even drove her to Switzerland the other week as she was representing GB. Ciara Robertson is her name.

Its not cheap, my lads on his 3rd new bike in two years due to the rate he's growing which obliviously means new kits required long before its worn out; we'll also be looking for a camper van this year too.

At the end of the day, both my son and i love the sport/hobby and we get to spend all day Sunday from 8am to 6pm together plus other times doing something we love which is within our means, it really is good quality time together. If you cant afford it or are trying to 'keep up the jones's' is when you'll struggle.

I bet your friend would do it all over again given the chance!

As it's your birthday I'll ignore the obvious reply to the best football team in Berkshire. Big fan of live music and I'll try and go and see local bands as well as the bigger names as much as I can. Might even be wrangling a night on a tour bus later in the year

For my bithday, my daughter got me tickets for Def Leppard supported by Cheap Trick, Saxon, Wishbone Ash, and Scorpions at Stone Fest. Love live music, and seeing old bands that I saw back in late 70's early 80's.
 
I have long and heated debates with a 2 year old, enjoy the odd jigsaw, and I’m spending more & more time in the garden.

I used to fish a lot when younger, but just don’t have the time now.
 
Watch other sports (mainly Hockey, Basketball, Cricket and Squash. Have got back into Squash recently) Or i am writing for my cricket blog.
 
I am close to getting to my 200th parkrun.
Unfortunately I am not allowed to run marathon's anymore, or race hard on any distance. So I now stick to running parkrun once a week.

I also own quite a bit of photographic gear, but I probably haven't touched it for a year, since the baby got more mobile.
 
Play a bit of bass guitar myself and cant justify or really afford a Fender Jazz bass so decided to make one instead. Completed my first one today, pics attached, from many component parts. Has really been fun with a few swears along the way:o

Here's my JB copy -

Recently taken up archery after trying it on holiday , absolutly love it , have just spent a fortune on kitting myself out with a bow and all the accessories , got a home made target in the garden and can shoot up to 30 yards , currently shooting 100 - 150 arrows a day , and twice a week club shoots , golf clubs have not seen the light of day for the last 3 months and i dont miss it .

that looks nice what does it play like.

Pretty nice, never played an actual JB for comparison but the swamp ash body with the Wilkinson p'ups are very responsive, gives a very nice punchy tone, just letting the neck settle in but it's sounding very versatile so far, way way better than the few cheap shop basses I've owned at least. Project 2 is about to start, have a couple of slabs of utile mahogany and black limba good to go, PBass style next with an active EMG humbucker, will make the body myself this time using templates, looking for more of a plain rock machine with growly lows.;)
 
Watch baseball as I'm too old to play now. Do a ton of stuff for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL time and really got back into NHL hockey last season too.
 
I honestly am struggling to think of one other hobby I have maintained anymore

I used to have a football season ticket.. got rid few seasons ago to play more golf

used to play football.. ACL replacement made that harder and harder to maintain a good standard so focused on golf

used to play PS4 games etc.. kids stopped that really

I really enjoy my job.. but that isnt a hobby. thats a profession

so its just golf
