Other Main Interests

Just getting through the day without the old bones hurting, paying for the reckless of youth on bloody motorcycles.

Reading, Sci Fi mostly.
Cars.
Drinking. :-)

Don't have any other real interests anymore. I used to like photography and martial arts years ago, was damn good at both.

Even getting bored with Hi-Fi lately. I read a bit though. Got my weights out recently and may start a moderate work-out regime again, but I can't go too mad at my age.

You’ve lived some life, Geoff: Martial arts too. It’s probably kept you young in many ways. I wish I’d done as much.

I need more exercise in my life but Spring is the only realistic chance. I think I need some mental exercises too. I’m getting so forgetful and also really muddled when tasks mount up. I’m like someone with dementia half the time. I lose something pretty much every single day and I have zero recollection of events.

Reading/studying, going for long walks in the country. I was into photography, but my camera's packed in and I can't be arsed to buy a new one.

Your Interes'turd in Working! Are you nuts.. Work is a means to make money nothing else. The place can blow up over night for all im bothered when i clock off. 

FFS, I spat my tea everywhere lol

Sometimes I like going for walks down the local street and the harbour area. Known as the Torquay Harbour.

Climbing and kitesurfing

Pretty much. I leave house at 0730, and just got back in now at 1815 and I'll be in bed by 2230 latest. There was a time when my job was a total doss-about, now I have to do stuff and use my brain. Too  tired to even want to listen to music most nights. If the place blew up overnight I'd be well happy but it's not going to happen. 

Loads of folk on forums seem to get up like 4-4:30. Before posting on forums I’d never heard of anyone other than bakers and milkmen being up at such times. I don’t know how anyone can manage it. You have my admiration.

I’ve had to do it a few times for early flights and it’s wrecked me. When I worked, I’d often start at 10 and not even get out of bed before 9. Even that didn’t feel good.

You get used to it doing it day in day out. Eventually you wake up before the alarm goes off, your brain is that well trained.

If I have a week off (which is usually only at xmas) I soon revert to my natural hours which is going to bed at 0200 and getting up about 10 or 11.

Anyway you've got to make hay while the sun shines, I won't be doing it forever. Redundancy could be on the cards. They've already put everyone in my office except my department on their notice. They all finish end of May next year.

lol

I gave up cycling to and from work when I was 58 and bought another motorbike.
