We used to enjoy cycling and rollerblading when the kids were younger but these tired old bodies can't cope anymore.
These days its relaxing with a good book!

Music is a big thing in our house.
Both lads play guitar and when they get together its a wonder the next street don't complain - we used to tell them to turn it down, but these days they just don't hear us! lol
Our music tastes are varied but basically we listen to anytyhing from country to metal - we draw the line at opera tho', really not our thing!
Danny has got me (San) into My Chemical Romance and Blink 182 but the latest cd in my car (apart from Stupid n Steve) was the new Tool cd - Marc was responsible for that one! BUT its now been replaced by the new I-DEF-I cd (In The Light Of A New Day) its amazing!
Matts car stereo probably holds similar discs - the lads like to bring along their music when we're out n about and somehow they never get taken home again... they're just such good driving tunes..
These guys are ace too ... go check em out!

Quick update on books - we've just discovered that Dan Brown is more than just 'The DaVinci Code'.. if thats the only one of his you've read you're missing out! Go buy the others - they're great!!
