    Hobbies other than football

    I'm coming up to my 30th birthday this year and have had a bit of a epiphany that I do not have a single hobby apart from going to the football. So as part of a "new year new me" I've been looking at new things to do.

    I've looked at flying, shooting, pottery and motorbiking.

    Does anyone do much other than work and football? Am I having a midlife?

    I loved Diving in Australia, did all my cards to become a PADI Dive instructor, always fancied continuing it over here, but went to the local dive club, 2 things put me of, one was when i asked wehre they dived they said " Oh the local flooded quarry " . Hmmmm that sounds exciting i thought
    Then after i told them i was a PADI dive instructor they said " oh thats ok, we will teach you how to really dive, you can start from the bottom "

    where do you dive ? ? ?

    I'd describe going to the football as a pastime or socialising rather than a hobby.

    Many people would define a hobby as collecting things - beer mats, dog turds, etc - or something that's creative.

    I suspect you feel you're spending too much of your free time gazing at a screen of some description and it's unhealthy both physically and mentally.

    Whatever hobby or interest you choose to take up you'd have to find enjoyable and stimulating otherwise your interest will soon wane.

    I used to do a bit of train spotting back in the day.

    Back of the bob bank was great for this ( before seats ) as I could combine both.

    Nope - too heavy - did have a small notebook.

    Also used to nick through the back of the bob bank onto canton sidings and then to tudor road - probably H&S would not approve these days!

    Play football as well? (I do 3 times a week all year round), coach a football team (great fun) take up track days (can be expensive and only really summer), golf (occasionally), going to see bands and theatre (I live just outside London, so plenty to see).

    This makes my life sound action packed, and it really isn’t!

    Watching Cardiff City is still the equal best thing to do along with playing, coaching my son’s team and track days.

    I have a couple of dogs that have replaced my kids now that they have flown the nest. Outside of that in an effort to get fit I now take part in indoor rowing competitions which I have become addicted too.I also enjoy seeing bands so go to a lot of pub and small hall concerts.

    I’ve been thinking of buying a rowing machine concept 2. I know it’s expensive but .... I’ve been a bit sedentary lately. 54 usd to play five aside until 50. Need to fill the gap. I play golf but that’s not enough . What are your thoughts ?

    Dont do it unless moneys no object.

    Youll soon get bored with a rower.

    Join a gym.

    If you can run/jog.

    If youve got space somewhere for less cost get free weights bench. Dont splash out on a rower.

    Exercise youve got to enjoy it.

    Buying a rower the likelihood is it will soon be gathering dust.
