Spare Time !!

Postby Wingco » Mon Feb 24, 2020 11:35 am

The tittle probably is the correct one to give this but I couldn't think of anything else.
So what do people do if they are laid up ? I came out of hospital last Wednesday after a double hernia op, i have been signed off for 3 weeks and no driving for 2 weeks min, can't cycle for 5 weeks, can't do my twice weekly boxing for 6 weeks, Day time telly, don't go there and its been covered before. Got loads to do with the car, but can't lift much and getting down under the car !! hum the Mrs would kill me :lol:
Now i do appreciate this is for kids !! but we are all kids at heart ? I love Lego and have been building Lego models for a few years now, at the moment i'm filling my time building the Caterham R620 very well put together and a lot of thought went in to producing this kit. Just finishing the Harley Davidson Fat boy, again another well thought of kit, I will stick some pictures up if people are interested.
So any ideas of what I can do next not just Lego but something stops me from being BORED !!

Get out and about with the camera. A walk, garden, or catch the bus somewhere.

I had two weeks last year laid up and I'm afraid all I came up with was binge watching TV (The Expanse on Amazon was rather good) , read a good book, crossword puzzles, listen to music, eat.........................

A chap at work is into Lego Star Wars, so how about building your own Death Star or Millennium Falcon? Not exactly cheap, but could keep you amused for a few weeks.

learn to weld?
teach yourself to edit the photos that you took on days when you can't venture out.
Grab the train/bus and just get off 'somewhere' unfamiliar and explore

Like Mike said really Mark and agree with you both but not sure about editing yet but never tried tbh.
I intend to do a couple of small jobs in the garage tomorrow then I just might grab my camera and go for walk, Swanley park is a 5 min walk away.
