The
Normal Routine - NightTime
(part 1 of 3)
Tuesday 25th April 2000

After
tea, everybody is free to choose what they want to do from
the many and varied things to choose from. Many people have
hobbies like Trevor who is building a model plane in the "hobbies"
room in the Red Shed, while others just like to relax and
read a book or watch a video. We have nearly twice as many
rooms in the Red Shed than are required so everybody has a
spare room to store things and do hobbies.

One
of my favourite hobbies is photography. We have a full dark room
where we can process black & white film as well as reversal film
(slides). I get a lot of satisfaction out of spending an hour or
so to prepare the chemicals, load the film and then go through the
chemical processing steps to discover that a picture I took the
other day turned out as well as I had hoped. Most people bring down
a large cache of film & paper. I brought down at least 120 rolls
of colour slide film and I expect to use it all. We can also process
B&W negatives, paper prints and colour prints from slides (using
the Cibachrome process).

On
the games side of things we have a pool table and two dart
boards in the recreation areas which are used for both friendly
games and competitions and as the year progresses the competition
increases because it is easy to get some practice!

I
never used to play darts before I came down, but now I know
all the tricks of the trade minus the skill! Card games are
also popular.
