What else do you do?

Marathon and ultra running and wishing I wasn’t gay so I could chase after CFH (sigh?).

Post bullshit, post let’s pretend to be bezzie mates/keeping up appearances/my life’s great/social media/established media/righteousness/outrage, ain’t nobody got time 4 that.

Sometimes I brush the cat whilst plotting to take over the world. It helps.

Work
Art
Not exercise
Kids

Rallying. If I’m not out filming for tv programs then I do some co-driving which I’m enjoying more and more. Got back the other week from doing the Safari Rally in Kenya, this weekend it’s a single venue event with a new driver doing his first ever rally, at Anglesey Circuit. Life could be worse!

If I had any sort of musical ability then I’d like to learn the guitar. Sadly never going to happen.

Since March of this year, my life has been full of spending every available time outside of my day job, on my classic Norfolk Broads river cruiser/yacht. A planned refit to replace the cabin roof, that wasn’t meant to take this long or be so intensive but I am loving the working and caring and creating and learning that this project is demanding of me 8)

Used to do loads of stuff in addition to bikes but now I’m happy to just work to pay for my riding addiction 8)

Suppose you could add seeing friends and family to my list but I tend to use that as an excuse to ride a bike somewhere at the same time 😀

Sleep. Think about sleeping. Talk about sleeping (much to the annoyance of the wife). Soon to incorporate dog walking into the mix, which will usurp cycling in the medium term I suspect. Looking forward to the prospect of walking the dog in all sorts of foul weather. Have definitely lost my mojo for mtbing. I’m hoping to get it back when the dog is old enough to come with me.

Surf
Climb
Read
Film watch at least 3 or 4 a week
Watch Rugby
Politics, social issues etc – talk endlessly about…
Drink beer and wine
Cook and eat curry

Have been motorbiking longer than mtbing
Have been known to walk up hills
Enjoy driving to said hills

If it’s outdoors I’m interested

Work
Ferry kids about to swimming/cubs/gymnastics etc.
I used to run. Now I just hobble about in running gear at a pace where old grannies pushing trolleys can overtake me.

I love to potter about in the garden, weeding ,arranging ,lawn mowing.
I should do some more diy but can’t be bothered.
Listen to music.
I read the news, but sadly, have read too few books since Li’l J was born.
With his help I’m now very good at a 21kg clean and jerk .(him onto my shoulders).

try to spend as much time as possible with my wife, that is when I’m not variously doing;
work (hard, but lucky in that I enjoy it)
tidy / taxi / feed / fund our two daughters
mess around in the workshop with cars / woodwork / mackling things around
grunt work in the garden / allotment (leave the finesse stuff to my wife)
try and pretend to be able to play the ukulele
read about / collect / covet early-to-midcentury art, architecture and furniture

Work at a sweet factory think wham bars, fruit salad etc etc
Single for last year with 4 kids 7-17, joint care so life is split in two
Gym
Play 5aside
Watch Football
Watch eldest son walk upstairs to his pit to play on xbox and occasionally grunt thanks for tea
Watch youngest son play football
Watch eldest girl cheerleading
Watch youngest girl play football
Cycle with and without kids
Drink Beer
Gigs
Chat/Flirt on FB

Keep busy and try and look forward….

Photography is my thing, or so I thought. What I actually do is ponder over the latest equipment, convince myself that an upgrade will be of benefit then trade in a year old camera body with 3000 actuations on it for the latest and greatest model, usually at massive cost.

Been considering my LRPS submission for about 7 years, will do it soon, deffo.

Apart from ride bikes & work, these:

Does that help, OP?
