Hobbies

[Sheilbh]

Do you have any?

Two of the guys I live with are very into (and quite good at) photography.  For me I've accidentally got very, very into baking.  I make an amazing white loaf and one day my brioche will be perfect.

Today I'm starting my sourdough starter and a 'monastery bread' which is wholemeal and full of oats.  Once the sourdough starter's done I want to make a few Irish sourdoughs and then move onto PUMPERNICKEL!

Incidentally it's also cheaper and tastier than my normal bread habits.  I've always been picky about bread so I spent quite a lot on it to begin with (Warburton or bust).  Now I'm under 50p a loaf.

I make replica model airplanes (the remote controlled type). It's relaxing and a lot of fun (and profitable).

Musical instruments, photography, and hiking (although I don't do as much of it as I'd like) are the primary ones for me. I do dabble in a lot of other things, though. I guess I'm more of a "jack of all hobbies" than "jack of all trades."

For the past couple months, cooking and baking has been number one: it happens anytime I cross paths with my uncle, who's the executive chef at The Pub and Kitchen in Philly.

I'm a curler.

Just finished up for the season last weekend - played 6 games in 3 days, and curled two games a week during the season.  I typically play lead, which means I throw the first two stones.

I'd really like our team to make a try to win the Territorial Playdowns and get to the National Championship in 2010.  We're nowhere near good enough for most places, but in the Territories we'd stand a shot at it...

God I love curling.  It's a brilliant sport.  I had no idea you were involved, though it makes sense.  You know, you're Canadian and stuff :p

Guns, cars, books, computer and board games. Tried getting back to building model ships, but I want to take them out in the backyard and set fire to them.

I sing

I like playing table football and fortunately get to play it a lot at work. Another work related hobby is playing Kubb. At least in the warmer months.

I think you should buy Curling DS.

I have plenty of hobbies I think about pursuing.

[Razgovory]

I don't have any hobbies.  I thought about photography but taking pictures of one room gets old after a while.

[Habbaku]

I read, usually at least one book every other week, depending on the size.  I play wargames and usually spend a day on the weekends playing them while also having multiple PBEM games going on.  I have a large collection of antique firearms that I enjoy shooting, as well as a good chunk of militaria--odd bits and pieces, medals, uniforms, helmets, bayonets, etc.

Lately, I've taken up occasionally hiking up several of the mountain/hill paths near my home.

Painting 6mm figures for Warmaster Ancients.

I like computer games, masturbation, and fish.
