talking about christmas in september

learning to sail

ceacking through piles of books

cycling

teaching self to code

DIY

No. I already know what I enjoy doing. 

I can’t wait for a new term at ballet to start, I am sure there will be lots to learn 

When I move in to the new flat (no date as of yet, but it best be by Christmas) I will no longer be able to walk to work so will also need to practicing cycling in the north on the roads 

How long have you been taking ballet lessons? 

Heh - classic unk. But nobody “already knows what they like doing”.

I love ballet. It means I can sit and read the read the paper for a whole hour on a Saturday morning. 

I imagine watching phoebes do ballet would be a very different experience sisto.  Uplifting

Mostly increasing my workload

i have come to the conclusion that new hobbies will mostly be a thing for a few years prior to retirement when i take them up to make sure that when i'm hanging around the house at a loose end i don't irritate my other half.

it's the 4 kids bit as well that makes it somewhat tricky

Imbibing during the above 

Had been looking forward to several sailing weekends over the last month and the coming month but until his Lordship is able to go into DDC, I ain't leaving Twickerz for time in Lymington. Still managed to get a weeks sailing in on the Ionian and picked up an acceptable level of injuries.  After the last 2 months of confinement will be happy enough just to be out walking locally again.

Am determined to :

1 actually use the season ticket I barely used last year 

2 go back to choral singing after many (many many) years . A decent local choral society have try outs next week, it’s a long time since I felt this socially nervous TBH

Have signed up to be a guinea pig for a local lady researching a ‘walks and wild swims’ book. Trying to get better at social networking. Other than that, same old same old.

You should totally have left it at this strange cosplay image, Euge old friend

so eugenie has decided to dabble with lesbianism

can anyone top that

I do sometimes wonder whether that might be the community we lost Artoo to, tbf 

Asti is that at Leeds? 

I am going to try hard to get out on my bike and in my kayak a fair amount and it looks like I am going to have to learn the Wolf-Ryder-Pyle age/molt coding system 
 

Furries, not lesbians FAOD.

Starting a wargaming Instagram page.  Writing a set of wargame rules for the ancient period.   Adjusting lifestyle to start saving for my daughters wedding as she got engaged on the weekend

Have been really thinking about getting back into rpg's, maybe a visit to these guys:  https://mutantfreaks.co.uk/

HEHMAX

It means I can sit and read the read the paper for a whole hour

Who reads newspapers? 

Congrats, Warren.

I suppose larping as a space marine hamster might help the darker evenings pass by a bit quicker.  Will probably give it a go.

Nah, I’m down south m8, I just re visit there now and again 

but these choral societies are everywhere TBH

Warren good for you, I really enjoyed the rpg but I doubt I would be able to recapture the magic that they brought when I was a teenager tbh

v proud day when daughter reported back she was playing D&D at Uni :)

I’m learning Python at the moment. It’s very hard! 

Let me help you Penguin

Repeat after me " This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! "

Buzz, you are probably already familiar but there is a great wine shop in Lym called Solent Cellar. V decent SA selection and usually some interesting mature bottles.

Thanks Benj & Asturias, yes the one who's getting engaged and her partner are both well into board games, always great to have genuine shared interests with your kids.  I did wonder whether playing rpg's again would be a bit of a disappointment, or the people would be awful.  Maybe it would be better to preserve the old memories unsullied.  And the time commitment of course. 

Cheers Foz.  Wasn't actually aware so thanks for that, will check it out next time I'm there. I don't often venture that far up the road beyond Waitrose - usually the route involves only our friends' place, Berthon Marina, The Kings Head and The Bosun's Chair.  

I'll start working towards marathon distance, so I can enter one next year. No really, I will actually do it this time, unlike every other year when I never quite get to it.

There is a life drawing class series being advertised locally, I'm signing up for one to give it a try.

I want to grade up into advanced aerial classes so I need to work on pull ups.
