Both Franksdad and I work full time (and then some...) he does martial arts and spends a lot of time not doing very much on the computer.
My 'hobbies' are housework & playing with Frank and his brother. I love cooking, watching cooking progs and reading cookbooks.... We both love eating and real ale!

Hi Ladyinred,
Have just finished Saturdays GK Crossword.
I also do as many Codewords as I can. I do the Telegraph and Mail every day and the one out of the Radio Times.
At my age it helps to keep the grey matter flowing!!

I go fishing. Home caught smoked trout is delicious and any spare ones I swap with a local butcher for Cumberland sausages or over the bar for a pint of Harveys. Occasionally a friend gets one!

Dear Rich, i've always wished i was talented in art, but sadly not. I always appreciate botanical art especially.

I used to like knitting, reading, cooking, walking.

But like Peter, my hobby is now a 9 month Nugget and feeding him, playing with his toys, watching him learn how to do things and getting the soppiest, drooliest best cuddles in the world.
Welcome to Finland!!
