Leisure Time at Home
Looking on the bright side, we have time to catch up on things at home.
My projects are:
1. Cataloguing all my CDs in different categories, great fun listening to them all at the same time.
2. Sorting out and grouping books, will be interesting to discover how many Burnley F.C. books I have collected
3. Reading the books !!
4. Sorting out football programmes for each season - a mammoth task !
5. Sorting through paperwork - the worst task so I will leave it till last but should still have time to do it !!
My guess is that when this is all over, the waste recycling centres will be overwhelmed !!
Any more suggestions ?

Try to catch up with/ online stalk people you have lost contact with. I've managed to find someone who was a close friend but who I haven't seen since 1997 ! ( lived in different countries for years) He hasn't lost as much hair as I expected but he does have man boobs

I've been making Airfix models for the first time in decades. Getting an example of each aircraft I've been in over the years.

I am currently doing a full paint and build on a 1/12 Ducati 916 then have a 1/12 Honda R166 racer and a 1/6 Suzuki 1100 Katana to build, they should keep me busy for months.

Today I cleaned some windows, inside and out, until my Karcher needed a charge.
The last time was 5 years ago, when my wife died.
I must tune in to life changing moments.

I'm fortunate to have all the necessary kit for an indoor gym.
Starting work on converting the basement tomorrow, but may not be able to get all the materials i will need.

Re: Leisure Time at Home
I transferred all my camcorder tapes onto a PC. That’s 30 years worth
Now I’ve bought an electric guitar and will start doing online lessons.
Also clearing out cupboards and the attic and selling on eBay. Amazingly I got £220 for an old vhs player !

Re: Leisure Time at Home
Wow £220 for a VHS player !! I also have a VHS player and loads of VHS tapes in the attic !!
Just completed cataloguing my 301 CDs plus a box set of all Mozart recordings.
Is a collection of 301 CDs average for a lifetime collection (I was 70 last Saturday, had a great party for one !!) ?
Now on to LPs, then DVDs, Football Programmes and Books...

1 down 2 to go, the spraying could be better in places but not bad for a first effort.cbx750 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 4:38 pmSame here but Tamiya motorcycle kits, I did a Honda 750 as a practice then got a cheap compressor and airbrush off Ebay.
