I think I need a new hobby. Chess with Ted isn't exactly relaxing, and apart from that I just watch films or play on the Wii, and I'm feeling unfulfilled. I'm cycling again, but it would be nice to partake in an activity that didn't involve exercise and sore bollocks. Having watched the golf this weekend I thought I might try that. Walking around for a while and swinging a stick every now and then seems to sum it up, so I called a couple of local clubs to see how much it might cost me to play. First thing I did when they told me was drop the phone, then I asked if it was a joke, then I quickly hung up. I worked out that I'd need to sell at least one kidney and the naming rights to any children I might have in the future just to afford the membership, so it's rethink time.
Ted says his son Simon plays 'pitch-and-putt' which sounds like the Special Olympics version of golf, so I might give that a go soon. Or maybe I'll learn a foreign language or something. How hard can Mandarin Chinese be?????
