Do you have a hobby?

Do you have a hobby?
Besides the Scoob? And besides, say, motoring/rallying/F1 etc?
I know there are a few on here interested in sport, a few photographers, but has anyone any less common hobbies?
I'll start us off: I build models of railway engines, either from kits, or by scratch-building on a kit base. At the moment I work in 7mm scale, and I'm more interested in modern stuff, diesels, than steam.

Too many according to MrsD
I build 1:24 cars to my own specs, this, usuallly entails sacrificing another kit to get what I want
I have quite large collections of 1:35 scale WW2 military equipment and 1:72 helicopters, all built from kits
My Stepson and I have a dozen or so cars and over 200 pieces of Scalextric track, including a banked curves, a Le Mans start and a Goodwood chicane
I have a fairly extensive collection of '80s era 4mm scale railway rolling stock (mainly modified RTR), but as yet nowhere to run any of it
I fly a 2.4m span delta wing kite when the weather's right
I have a 1986 XR4x4 and a 1978 Honda CB550, both in several pieces all over the house and garage
And finally I have an 18 month old springer spaniel that could outlast Paula Radcliffe in a race

My hobby used to be trying to break my body err i mean playing rugby, I gave that up when i succeeded in that task.
Now it's mucking about with my pug 205 gti, it spends more time in the garage than on the road.
and more recently coaching at my previous club, which adds to the other coaching at work. I think i may actually enjoy not playing anymore. I didn't think that 4 weeks ago.

Too many hobbies, too little time!
Mainly mountaing biking, out a couple of times a week at least.
Into Photography too, not long got a digi SLR and loving that
Got a 1990 Range Rover V8 with some off road mods, try and get off road in that as often as possible but been busy recently.
