stamp collecting. people my age think I'm weird, but I think they're weird for going out purely with the intention of getting pissed and acting offensively in public.

Heck, that's just what pensioners do now days. You stick to your stamps, keep it traditional.
I've just got myself into using Fimo clay & have been looking at making reborning dolls when i get better at the fiddly bits (heavy handed). I think their are beautiful little things. Do you have any pics of yours?
Yes, i'll pm you.
I would do it the opposite way to you, I wouldn't mind having a go at the sculpting side of it, now I have got to grips with the painting. To create one from absolute start to finish, a total ooak, would be ace.
I'm surprised people still do that, what with all these wind turbines and mobile phone masts around now. A new one that went up near me recently had a CE marking on it
A few years ago as part of a personal project, I started taking photos of street furniture, including lamposts, or rather the different styles of lanterns thereon. It's surprising just how many different designs there are. Also there's an interesting variety of street furniture on our streets, ranging from seating to cycle racks and various artwork, that a lot of people tend to just walk past without noticing.

I photograph old graffiti - usually 18thC or 19thC...then try and use parish records and censuses to identify the person who did it (started as a sort of genealogist's party trick but it's very addictive).
I will also do things like trace 13 randomers buried in a public grave of workhouse inmates from the 19thC - and find out who they were, what they did and try and piece together their stories.
OP, I have done archery - Mr H is an adept. It's great fun. Go for it!
It's amazingly good exercise and it's kind of fun but mostly humiliating, as I'm tubby and female and I know fear. I try, which is the best you can do, but I was always thudding on to my face while all these athletic guys leapt and flipped around the room like they were weightless. And they kept incorporating push-ups into the warm-ups and conditioning. There was a big event day once where I got forced to attempt push-ups about twelve times. One-handed push-ups, even! I can't do one normal one. At least 'cause it was a big fun-day there were other inept women, so we could all fall in a giggly heap rather than just blushing at the half-sympathetic, half-bewildered male stares as the guys hit push-up 99, as is the norm at training.
I didn't go back after last term cause I had about three weeks in a row of otherwise occupied Sundays, and then I couldn't be arsed.
In my home town, the council are replacing streetlights one at a time, apparently at random. The new ones are a random mix of white high pressure sodium or compact fluorescent. White lighting is so much more pleasant that I always notice a new one going up (I take the dogs for a walk before bedtime and try to vary the route for them). I now have a mental map of which ones they have done and which ones are yet to be replaced.
ERM... collecting dust,.... watching grass grow, wasting space, thieving air, watching paint dry, staying asleep, growing a beard, Just SOME of my many hobbies,
in fact I am so busy with all my hobbies I never find the time to do anything else,
:cool:

I love white lights, unfortunately all the ones in my street are yellow White lights look more natural I think.

It can actually be quite fascinating
