New Hobby Exploration Mugs

"I expect you're all really pleased I took-up 'proper cooking' during the COVID-19 lockdown!"

"I would like a tube of lemon yellow, cadmium red, cobalt blue, ivory, black, and zinc white, a sixteen-by-twenty canvas, a couple of brushes, and that book 'Painting in Oils'."

The Hobby Store

"He built his own airplane from a kit."

"River well stocked this year."

"Is this the first time you've been fishing?"

'I don't know what he gets up to in there, but it keeps him busy.' (Noises are recorded, man reads paper, has beer.)

"Our Rupert has swopped his gaming console for bagpipes...it gets us out of the house more often."

'Tommy is in the other room playing with the triangle we bought him in Bermuda.'

'My first camera'

'First of all, relax.'

"Oh we're fine, my husbands just learning to cook during the quarantine."

'Dude, you can go for that new diving gear if you want, but if you ask me, I think it's a trap.'

"We cancelled Netfix for this?"

Patey's in a band! He's so cool!

Pam collected ceramic pigs. Just one so far, but even that seemed like too many.

She found baking helped enormously.

"You may not know this, but I've become quite the wine expert."

'Hello, please take care of my ship in a bottle.'

"O.K., go long, and then go about a hundred feet to your left or your right - who knows?"

'First time spear fishing, Son?'

'Aside from your plastic canvas projects, what else have you been doing since you retired?'

'Women cook to feed the soul...men cook to feed the ego.'

'Actually I have just one bee at the moment...'

"My husband makes this wine."

I would love to learn Karate, but Dad insists I do Boxing instead: He says I have natural disposition for it...
