How are you lads staying sane? I've got a young fella under 2 so he takes up most of the day but I've been doing stuff in the garden, started my own homebrew and have been painting some shoes in the evenings.
Anyone take up any new hobbies?

I don't just paint shoes, I paint socks as well.

That's a good idea, cheaper medium I might give it a try although not sure how it will hold up in the washing machine? How you keeping? ready for the start of herd culling?

I’ve reached level 8 in boredom - washing the outdoor windows, even cleaning the outdoor steps etc
But painting your shoes,,,,, that’s a new level. Must be a 9. Can anybody trump that?

I've been doing it for years, just have more free time in the evenings now. Well when the Mrs is working nights and the lad is asleep (sometimes).

By painting shoes, do you mean paintings of shoes or painting the shoes themselves? I'm grand, still have no idea whether I am supposed to be currently in work or getting paid for sitting at home.

These are my latest, work in progress. Takes a bit of time and I've to straighten out the lines still and then put a finisher on to seal it.

That wasn't what I was expecting! Fair play. Do you just buy them plain?
Yeah, the levels of confusion are astounding. No f**ker knows what they are doing at all.

I'm loving it - working from home. No 3-4 commute or pleasantries with some of the people i'm obliged to work with. The weather is good, food and beer in the fridge. Getting time with my kids, catch up on TV programmes and extra sleep. Next step is to reintroduce exercise into the mix. Might be drinking a bit more than i normally would - up maybe 10-15 units per week. All in all, i'm enjoying the dockdown.

These were just plain white adidas superstars. I used to just wear my runners until they were wrecked and then try to fix them up a bit. Did these as a fresh pair. It's so confusing at the minute, I've been trying not to worry about it too much but with the wife working in the hospital it is a bit of a worry. Did these Ian Brown ones a few years ago.

Sounds great, I'm enjoying seeing my son a lot more, worried how he will be when I go back to work in the office though. I've started doing couch to 5k with the mrs, I've not done sport in years besides 5 a side and was never a runner (used to be a 20st prop forward) I'm enjoying it at the moment.

That has to be the winner in the boredom stakes? |

I work a 4 on 4 off shift pattern so well used to being home. We are now being paid to stay at home 1/2 shifts per block also. Got my hands on so e pallets and knocked together a little bar and seating for the garden I’ll sand and paint them when I next get the enthusiasm to do something. Started back doing a bit of running/walking last week too. Seriously missing the 5aside. Doing fairly well at avoiding the booze. Had a couple of drink filled online parties, but overall, I reckon im drinking a lot less that I would in normal times.

Been playing a lot of Super Nintendo with the extra time off, so far have cleared Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2.
Been reading and exercising a bit more too. Missing playing junior hurling big time Had been availing of free Irish classes in the college too, so I've continued doing that online as well, although its been knocked on the head the last week with online exams this week.
I was in work all day and in college 3 evenings so its great having the extra time around. Its going to be weird going back to working and college all week, from Monday to Thursday I'm out 7 - 9.30ish |

Shoes are quality Flanno Have a 2 year old and 8 week old so I'm just flat out with them and also working from home Mon-Fri so no time for any home projects or anything. Busiest 8 weeks of my life. Exercise wise I have a little home gym set up so using that maybe 2-3 days a week and following a 10km training plan as my running went to sh*te over the past couple of years, so doing maybe 4-5 runs a week too Defo drinking more than I would normally. Most weeks I'd have a few beers on 3-4 nights. Trying to knock that on the head now though to even once a week |

On to 6th season with 1860 Munich in FM
Just finished 6th and won the dFB Pokal in season 5 so looking forward to European Football, just gave up the Swedish National job after reaching semi-final of the Euros in 2024 to take up the Belgium job. Waiting for the Ireland job to hopefully come up Mick McCarthy still going strong.

Thanks lads. Congrats on the new arrival. We've started talking about a second one. Can't imagine it at the moment. I was drinking a couple of beers every night there for a few weeks so we decided to hit it on the head for a while. I have some stout brewing at the moment so I am gonna stay off the drink until that is ready, 3 weeks left. Hopefully it doesn't turn out sh*te after all the wait. |
