I am very lucky we both have different hobbies but we enjoy each other hobbies as well.

One of my main hobbies is cooking and the wife of close to 40 years loves eating my cooking.

@greenfinger 2 no they aren't eggs on the rocks, that are zoanthus polyps

@keithgh It is a Cypraea Tigris. It's a species of marine snails also called a cowrie in English.
