For Fun: Hobbies outside of Freetrade?

Running and cycling, this year I’ve also taken up climbing and have been going twice a week with some mates. Outside of sports I enjoy cooking and also gaming.

Due to tunneling I can’t have a nose as I would enhale soil, I breath through my tail-end.

I’m very much a noob but these two are some of the first pics I took.

This is the Dumbell Nebula. My processing is still a bit off.

This is Seven Sisters, again, processing error didnt even out the picture.

Not much atm outside of investing :laughing:

I play football a few times a week and also am a season ticket holder for my local club - so quite typical I suppose.

I have at various points got into drawing / painting at a fine art school, been into yoga, etc. But at the moment I pretty much work, stay fit, invest, and keep slowly moving up in the world one day at a time.

I want to read more on geopolitics / history.

Hobbies involve gaming, smoking, drinking, djing, camping, reading and people watching in which I pass hard judgements.

Retired, so sometimes I sits and thinks and sometimes I just sits.

When I’m not doing either of those things, I’m a bit of a news junkie and I paint - currently I’ve a piece in the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists annual Friends’ Exhibition. This excites me almost as much as the sight of dividends hitting my activity feed. *
(The exhibition is well worth a visit if you enjoy art and are in/near Birmingham).

I’m the kind of person who has a pile of books on the go, mainly audiobooks these days - anything but I particularly love juicy political autobiographies/memoirs.

*Actually, more, if I’m honest.
