Husband's Hobby

(27 Posts)

My husband was made redundant last year at the age of 65, and chose to retire. He has no hobbies, apart from the odd round of golf, and few friends, and is finding things a bit hard at home - however he recently bought himself a colouring book of geometric patterns and spends quite a bit of time just colouring in, which seems to keep him very happy. I was just wondering if anyone else's husband does this?

My DH makes radio controlled boats from scratch, he used to sail them too, he still belongs to a club. He builds so many then sells them and starts again.
He also likes to draw and paint.
He has made a couple of whirlygigs in the last couple of months.
He also has a wood lathe, he’s made bowls, dishes, clock faces etc etc.
It’s only now I think about it that I realise how many hobbies he’s got!
We both enjoy pyrography too.
