You're going to need to program a robot so you can be in two places at once!

Davy, you just know that you'll have to go to a function to play and the weather will be perfect for astronomy

That's the way it works with me too.
Or I am driving home and its crystal clear, ready to get the equipment out as I drive up. Get inside to change and wifey informs me she's going to some event and I have to cook dinner, make sure the boy gets his homework done, etc.
Foo.

Davy, would it be 'as well as' or 'in place of'?

Was going to be as well as,,slept on it and im going to turn it down,time ,money and effort all going against me. Time..I would be rushing around like a looney,work,home,shower,drive about 40 min ,practice for two hours ,drive home,dinner,bed. Money would cost me another £20 a week on fuel bill for traveling. Effort...putting effort into a lot of things just now,need to empty avairy, demolish ,clean up garden and if green light,start foundation for roll off obs. So common sense says..chill

Decided to step away from the band tonight,my free time gas been getting stretched thinner and thinner lately,and astronomy is my major hobby,spent too much time,money and effort to let it get diluted by other things in my life,going to get back into using my kit more.

Yeah, too many of us get overloaded, and our hobbies become too much work and we start to hate it instead of enjoy it.
The true definition of a Hobby is something enjoyable to do in your spare time, not 'to Dominate' your spare time.

I've dumped hobbies that became jobs... That's when the fun ends.

Thats exactly hpw it felt rick,there was that much to do at band,to get it back on an even keel,no drive in current members,that it felt like a second job,,I only wanted to play for fun,have been offered position of bass drummer in another band,,40 mile round trip,,so not going there either,,been asked to guest play with band so that suits me and them
