Astronomy - visual observing and astrophotography (obviously only when it's dark, and the sky is clear)
Photography - terrestrial (landscape/sports/wildlife, mostly)
Play Guitar
Military scale modelling
Drawing/Sketching
Collect optical equipment
Internet (mostly in connection with other hobbies, but do visit some general forums such as DS)
Also help to run my local Astronomical Society, and do various bits and bobs connected with that - including a fair bit of 'outreach', mostly with schools and youth groups.
I'm currently putting together a slideshow and talk, about iconic and cutting edge astro/space images.
I gave up working for a living - by choice - about 10 yrs ago (a sort of VERY early retirement) - just so that I could spend more time on things I actually wanted to do, and it's got to the point where an extra few more hours in a day wouldn't go amiss.
