As we've all grown up and been away for so long, what does everyone do in their spare time these days?

I enjoy cooking and cycling (not done much this last year) but, plan on getting back on the bike this year.

Over the last 5/6 years I have been on numerous cycling trips to Mallorca and the French Alps. Also done a few charity rides, one of which was Ride London 100. Which I completed the 100 mile circuit in 4h 46mins. 

My cooking will take off again once Maria and I move into our new house hopefully over the next month 🤞🤞

I game semi professionally streaming on Xbox, just for fun no money - taking a break off that right now to focus on 1 of the kids 

 

I train 5-6 times a week at the gym and also a PT (again just got the qualification for fun as into human body science)

 

I work for myself in the property industry / sadly not for fun.  Income lol

 

i help administrate the best bloody site in the world (this one, @James love)

 

I have the tunes back out and looking for decks etc to kickstart that again.  And shortly I’m gonna ask @Sarah Cwhere to get a bazillion good tune samples from so I can hit the Mac)

 

I am in the process of restoring everything I did in 2002 as I was happy then !! That’s y I opened the fb thread and here we are  

@Si definitely keeping yourself busy 🤣 with all that and having a family, hats off to you. And still manage to squeeze in a quick catch up call with me hahaha.

as for me, I don’t have kids but I have 2 very demanding dogs!! (One is staring at me right now). They keep me fit and healthy though and I have an excuse to get outside. 
 

Other than that - it’s all about the creative side. Making music and photography! I’ve been producing for about 15 years now, converted the garage not long back so I’m lucky to have my own studio space which is my ‘woman cave’ 🤣

 I got my first DSLR camera a couple of years ago and that also gets me out and about. Clubbing photography is something I might delve into...

What cam And lenses u rolling with ? Nikon or canon 😇

Still wanking tbf. 💁🏼‍♀️

 

Also holidays to hospital. 

 

Living the dream. 😂 

So hobbies. 
 

well I still play online games such as world of Warcraft, runescape, lord of the rings online, rift and just re discovered dungeons and dragons online.    Sad yes but when your always on the go cause your daughters a crazy child and you don’t get to go out anymore you need something to focus the mind. 
 

I don’t play poker anymore 😉 but never got addicted in fact never spent real money on them things.  
I’ve only ever bet on a horse twice in my life and that’s on the grand national I don’t understand them. I put the odd tenner on online bingo but that’s maybe twice a year as I forget about it.  
 

I mountain bike and I’m talking proper mountain trails downhill. Red Rock or Lagan wolf tracks in the highlands of Scotland where we visit every summer (in-laws live up there) 

otherwise my time is taken up chaperoning my kids choir for young people with hidden disabilities and also my daughters solo singing and When they both perform in various pantos/ shays musicals, etc. 
if links work. Keira singing solo this was her first ever solo performance.    

oh and comic cons.  My daughter loves them. 
 

I work 5/6 days a week so don’t have time for much. 
 

we do like to binge watch series on Netflix and amazon or Apple TV lately though.

Camera is Nikon D3300 and I have the standard lens then the telephoto/mac sigma 70-300mm AF. 
You’re into photography or you were, weren’t you? Or have I completely made that up lol.

Haha no u didn’t make that up at all ...... here’s a couple of mine (originals are 19 mb each so these are compressed and fuzzy)
