Hobbies for the middle aged man

Im Late 40s and have 2 little ones so i dont have to worry just yet about filling my time, though i was thinking the other day that i need a hobby/interest.
If what has been suggested up to now is all thats on offer then fuck that, im jumping off the seven arches before it comes to it ;)
 
Recommendations would be most helpful..things to do inside or out

And no weird shit!
Changed for more suggestions..weird shit welcome but not creepy!..astronomy could be an option when it's not pissing down..
 
Watch tinkering. Buy non runners on ebay for a few pounds and service them. The long winter evenings pass a bit quicker.

Ergh the sensible ones do it inside and look through the window.
I don't know, some people will find any excuse not to be active.

It's because the **** won't go outdoors. plenty of good hobbies if your up for leaving the house. I'm sure you will be with a wife and two kids.

Yeah i partly jest. The one thing ive struggled to replace is playing footy. I stopped playing at a reasonably high level 4/5 years ago and ive never replaced that. Vets just doesnt quite interest me for some reason.
And no other sport that im physically able to do can replace that team work, the physicality , the pints after.

My life is passed over to the kids for now but i know, as i have an older son, that the time flies and you arent needed in the same way.
Not one for sitting around the house so ive got 3/4 Years to come up with a hobby i like

It happens mate - staying fit and hangovers are hard to fit round the kids at weekends.
 
My dear old fella who passed last year at 89 kept his mind agile by doing the crossword and puzzles in the Daily Express, he completed the cryptic one just three days before he died. You can lose mobility as you get older but try and keep the mind active, it’s a kind of muscle and needs exercise.

You may not like it but golf is the sport for a lot of ex footballers, we have a group of around 20 who play at Ashton GC, a good few who played at a decent level but now find the camaraderie, friendship and competitiveness of golf is a great way of passing a few hours two or three times a week. We have a couple of beers, a laugh and the banter, it’s brilliant for the mental health and you get to know some real characters and people from all walks of society. Two of our group are brothers, one is the ex CEO of the Greater Manchester Ambulance Trust, his sibling is a Binman, both great lads, the binman is the better golfer!

Most of my pals play but its more a physical thing why i cant. My job is pretty tough on the shoulders and i suffer with pulled shoulder muscles a lot. Im not sure swinging a club about will help.
Im always aware im missing out when they are playing as a group but with work i just cant see it every happening
