Chaps. I'm bored out of my mind!!! I've started to create a venue list of places fished and new venues I'd like to try. I've also created a list of meals for the bank, need to upgrade from pasta n sauce! Also joined the Angung Trust. What are you all doing to keep sane?

I jest of course.
Been helping a friend design a new 10,000 koi pond which is probably going to cost the best part of 40k.
That's quite interesting, just need someone to build it properly now.
Having a reconfigure of my own soon

Walking my dog along the local river and round the park lakes, usually 4 or 5 miles minimum each morning, and a couple of miles every evening.
I have also built two new pike rods as well as respooled every reel with new line or braid, and restarted my model building. So far in 1:48 scale built and painted Focke Wulf 190, Spitfire, Hawker Harrier Falkland Islands FRS1. I do have a Junkers Ju87b and Messerschmitt BF109 to do yet.
Add in probably too much time on Facebook as well, sorted...

I'm a scale modeller, so never an issue with burning time for me. Been doing it since I was a lad and now am pretty much a professional at it - have done quite a bit of commissioned work in recent years, so also make money from it, albeit it'll never pay the bills. I used to display at conventions and write articles for a few magazines, but nowadays I do it mainly for myself or the odd request from old customers - mostly that's 1/48 WW2 aircraft and 1/35 armour. Usually a project can take several months to complete, but right now, it's weeks. Requires massive attention to detail, skill and patience, but very rewarding when you produce something so special

Working like I have been since this all started, had two weeks off since September 2019 and managed to get away to Scotland touring on the bike. Can't see being allowed to tour abroad for at least two years maybe longer.
