Cor, plenty to go at there. Some good suggestions too.
Really needs to be something I can do in the house in not much space for an hour or so here and there – something like squash might be fun, but if I have time for that I’ll probably go down the climbing wall.
Learning to draw is a good shout, I used to be ok but I’ve not done anything for ages. I have a stack of sketchbooks too.
I’ve been writing about three novels for years… I really should finish one of them instead of just making more and more notes in tons of notebooks. So that’s a good idea too.
I do a fair bit of photography already, but I prefer being outside taking photos of buildings to indoor stuff. Just not really my thing. Possibly cos I did it for a job for two years.
Animation I have a degree in… Every now and then I dive back into 3ds Max and start relearning that, then just when I start getting the hang of it I get bored and do something else. I think maybe I need to work on my perseverance. I’d ideally like something where I can chat to the Mrs while she’s watching telly, and the big computer is upstairs.
Not sure about Airfix kits. The build is kind of appealing, the painting less so (and the inevitable stuck together fingers). I quite fancy building an RC car but I’m not sure how complex the build would be. Having something to play with at the end is tempting though.
Electronic music is a good idea. I used to dabble, and I reckon I could probably make a start on my iPad. Though it is pretty old, which might give me an excuse to buy a new one. Learning a real instrument would be great but with MiniMonkey asleep upstairs in a small house might not work so well.
Welding and wheel building I would love to do, but not sure how well it would go down in the living room. Actually I am sure. Not very well.
Whittling might be fun actually. Though we already have a lot of spoons. Maybe I could make spears for hunting rats in the approaching post Brexit wastelands.
Robotics is something I’ve thought of. I have a Raspberry Pi currently running an arcade ROM and doing nothing, so that could maybe be combined with some Lego and some motors and sensors to build something fun. That probably covers coding too.
Or I could just indulge in the classic C&H every week.
