Oooo that's not a bad idea! How about .. you're going out picnicing, and you have to run about rounding up all the tools you're likely to need, and any pasengers/pets/ etc, and the picnic, and then actually drive the car to the destination and back ..

I study military history and I have a library of about 1000 books (think of the floorboards) and i have returned to my distant youth and have started making model tanks etc.

Talking of returning to distant youth .. I've just started skateboarding again. On (almost) the same skateboard I had when I was 16.
I'm now 46. It's a 1973 (modern deck/bearings) but with original kryptonics 65mm red wheels.

I have a classic-modified skateboard!

Now that has to end in tears....

Well I'm into cars and, well cars really. Classic British cars, but then I probably can't afford these Italian or German machines!

And if I could I'd probably buy an Aston Martin or another Jag.....

Oh, I'm 47 BTW and my skateboard is staying in the shed!

i dj at a number of venues, with 3 different nights on the go - although i avoid anything approaching "mobile djing" lily has taken a full pa to a gig before (and i have now duly noted not one but two people who mend amps!) and has had to carry some big boxes of vinyl....

i also do the whole generic vintage thing - clothes, housewares etc so lily is also a er "lifestyle accessory" (cough)

currently learning to play the ukulele, have done stand up in the past - but would be better served learning how to advance an ignition!

photography too - i have an extensive collection of cemetery photos online!

Gardening - try to grow useful things to eat. Keep finding bits of pot in my garden so the digging doesn't always get done. Was a professional archaeologist for 30 years, had a Morris Minor before getting a job and now retired (65 on March 28th) and trying to finish off unpublished excavation reports. Got another Minor so the unpublished reports are still unpublished. Love water colour painting and can't wait to get the painting gear in the Traveller. Now the weathers getting better will have to do another type of painting - the house !![frame]

Otherwise I try to keep "Gromit" out of bad company - the blue VW thing nipped in and took the place of a 2CV when I wasn't looking.

My 5 year old son keeps me busy to !!!!!!
