Once upon a time it was Ironing. But I saw the light and weaned myself off the board and lint remover.

Now it's bikes. Old ones. New ones. Downhill ones. 3 wheel ones. I like bikes. It's becoming a problem. I can't see the TV anymore because their is a Raleigh Ultra Burner (black and gold) circa 1983 in the way.

The radio is good company now

In total agreement with this, spent decades run ragged between work, children and elderly parents. I feel absolutely zero pressure to fill my downtime with activities. Doing nothing is a treat to be treasured.
