There’s quite a lot going on in my life away from YouTube at the moment, and I’m finding it increasingly difficult to devote the time and energy to filming outdoor adventures.
I have several outdoorsy videos already scripted and waiting to be filmed, but for now, I’m going to put them on the back burner until life settles down a little and I have the time and enthusiasm to give them the attention they deserve.
I’m not entirely sure how I’ve managed to get myself into a position where I’m struggling to fit my hobbies around everyday commitments, but I think the simplest way of putting it is that I’m spinning too many plates! Before they all come crashing down around my ears, it’s probably time to put a few away in the cupboard and bring them out again when the time is right.
So, what's happening on the channel?
For the next month or so, I'm going to concentrate on my fishkeeping hobby. I have a new aquarium build to get underway, and I'm also considering dismantling (tearing down) my existing 57-litre aquarium and rehoming its wet pets into a slightly larger tank.
I'll be putting together a few fishkeeping videos over the coming weeks, including an instructional video and an update on my 57L aquarium.
After that, it's finally time to get around to setting up the Betta fish tank that I originally put on hold back in the spring.
So, if we're comparing my hobbies to spinning plates, some are going to be neatly packed away in the cupboard for another day, while others are coming out to take centre stage for a while.
It's not goodbye to the great outdoors, the countryside walks, kayaking, or visits to historic places. They're simply taking a little break while I concentrate on other things.
Sometimes it's good to slow down, take stock, and remind ourselves that hobbies are supposed to be enjoyable, not another set of commitments to juggle.
Thanks, as always, for following along and being part of the channel. I hope you'll enjoy the change of pace and join me for a little fishkeeping over the coming weeks.
