To ask you what your “hobbies” are?

I think of them more as pastimes:)

Walking the dogs
Hiking without dogs.
Reading
Learning about stuff like dead reckoning for no reason.
World news. Politics.
Ancient Kings and wars, and mooning over long forgotten battlefields or places of interest to for example hannibal and the alps ( see hiking)
Languages. i like learning languages.
Gardening. I'm really bad at it but like putting on my gardening outfit and pottering about. Like margo from the good life:)

chatting with people. Love it! Everyone is so interesting.

I want to learn to sew. I have a sewing machine but I can't even master threading it, despite YouTube.

Dreaming about one day finding someone who also likes ^^ so I'm not doing it on my own.

Running and training.
Buying running shoes.
Buying running clothes.
Coming up with reasons why I need new running shoes and clothes.
Reading.
Marvel. My DH and DS got me into it and I’m a bit obsessed.
Eating crisps and chocolate, preferably not whilst running.

Pissing mumsnet off.
I dont have a hobbie as such i just do what i feel like doing.

Horses. I only have space and money for one in my life and DD has taken that so my current 'hobby' is fulfilling her dreams.

That said, I'm very interested in this as I'm desperate for a hobby I can do in the evening at home which isn't mega expensive but tired eyes/mind/body can cope with.

Took up oil painting after being inspired to do some art after watching Grayson Perry's Art Club during lockdown. It's been such a source of joy for me and I've discovered i I'm not bad at it! Was doing Zumba until the Council shut down the classes. Recently joined the gym, so swimming and doing yoga and pilates. Recently taken up pottery, but it's quite hard, so think it will take a long time to get any good at it...

Added a few pics of my paintings, am just a novice, but I do enjoy it.😁

My kids started orienteering at school and I’ve taken it up and am hooked. Running and thinking at the same time. You don’t even know you’re exercising because you’re thinking so much.

I am also in a choir and run.

Mine are the all the usual middle aged women stuff, listening to podcasts, hill walking, cycling, walking my three dogs,pilates, swimming and gym.
Ive go to a lot of gigs and going to three this week.
I quite like an afternoon tea with my friends.

Playing music
Reading
Gaming
Swimming

There are so many things I want to get into, though, but there aren't enough hours in the day!

Running, watercolour painting and recently cross stitch. I'm always cycling through hobbies but painting and running are the two that I always stick with.

Eating chocolate, drinking wine, watching TV, walks, sound baths and jumping in cold water when I get a chance!

Swimming
Woodland and coastal walking
Dance
Line Dancing
Choir
Qigong
Reading
Volunteering in a school
Pilates
Learning French
I intend to learn keyboard and flute soon. Probably next year.

Going to the theatre, opera, ballet, concerts
Painting and looking at art/going to exhibitions
Skiing, ice-skating
Hiking, walking
Travelling, going places
Working out
Cooking, reading recipes and watching Masterchef
Reading poetry

(in my defence……. I’m retired…)

Gardening
Bridge

Main ones that I actually make time to do are bouldering and reading.

Singing in 2 choirs
Painting
Hiking
History/archaeology
Writing spooky short stories
Birds

Painting in oils and pastels
Playing the piano
Reading
Learning a language
Walking
Going to art galleries and museums.

I swim but it’s not a hobby. I just go it for some exercise.

I’d love to be specific, but it would be quite outing, as they’re both a bit niche! Main hobbies are a couple of music groups (same instrument) and a dance class.

Walking our dog
Reading fantasy
Watercolour painting
Lace knitting

Currently:
-Crochet
-Gardening- mainly veg in the summer
-Started sea swimming with a group in the summer. Not laps, but plunging in, having a laugh and hoping I can continue through the winter
-Cooking. I enjoy trying different cuisines and cooking them at home or trying different veg I'm not so familiar with

When younger and fitter:
-Skiing several times a year
-Scuba diving on most holidays
-Rock n roll dancing

Apart from running, my hobby is spending lots of money on something doing it for a week then consigning it to the cupboard of forgotten hobbies 🫠

And yep MN mods I know my post will be deleted 🥱

My hobbies are

rock climbing
running marathons
volunteering at African orphanages
knitting lentils
talking absolute fucking bollocks on social media

Reading - I read tonnes, over a wide spectrum of genres.
Politics and sociology
History
Podcasts
Crochet
Art
Board games

Choir, playing ukelele, gardening, reading, gym, board games, wine club,

I think I have pastimes rather than hobbies - reading, radio and podcasts (mostly history), theatre, gigs and concerts, swimming, word puzzles. Long ago I used to row which is a great sport but very time-consuming.
