    Things to do.

    Well I have just returned from the hospital. It appears I have broken the 5th metatarsal in my Left Foot.

    (Waits for people to go awwwwww )

    My main hobbies are out, work is out, so I have 6 weeks to fill of doing very little so I need some ideas of things to do in that time.

    I have been sketching over the past few days so that's something I can continue with.
    Posting nonsense on Motorsport Forums is a given.

    Anyone got any other good Ideas.
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    Flightsimming is really fun. Get FSX or Prepar3D v2+ a joystick and your good to go.

    Start with the default planes and airports before you move on to goodier and more advanced stuff.

    That's a nice idea. I already have some of the things I need. As dull as it sounds to some, I also have a rail simulator.

    Thanks for the suggestion

    Swimming will keep the muscles in tone - obviously only possible if your foot isn't in a cast
    Crafts - i.e. making things - model racing cars, Christmas cards, marquetry, carving wood or bone, jewelry making, restoring old furniture
    Rebuild a car or motor bike - you can do most of the work sitting down
    Furniture making - First make a stool to sit at your workbench
    Study something you've always wanted to (e.g. my daughter did a postal interior design course when she had a leg in plaster)

    The more you learn, the more you realise how little you know.

    There are loads of things to do , but ,
    skydiving is out .
    No tap dancing .
    Most martial arts and other combative sports are no go , with the exception of thumb wrestling , if one is not too rambunctious about it .

    Sorry to hear about your foot .
    Accepting being pampered is the best way to heal , Steve .

    Do you drive auto or stick ?

    For driving there's always Euro Truck Simulator 2. It's more in the vein of flight and rail simulators than racers. You'll need a steering wheel with a lot of turns lock to lock for the best experience, though.
