What's YOUR hobby?

After the (most recent) thread slamming partners who cycle, I wondered how many of us have hobbies or interests we have time to indulge in? What are they? Mine would mainly be gaming. 'Nice' PC games like Sims /2point hospital/Unravel/Planet zoo - nothing where the object is to charge round killing everything else. I love bodyboarding too but I'm on the wrong coast for it!

I'm an old granny - knitting and crochet. I taught myself from youtube and have got very good

PlaymobilPirate · 28/09/2019 16:51

I crochet - it's so calming! I sell most of the stuff i make too so win win.

Audio books - I have a kindle, amazing prime, spotify and an Amazon Alexa. Can I listen to audio books??? I've never listened to a pod cast either!

Crochet - it's so relaxing.
But mainly missing the pre-DC days of throwing myself wholeheartedly into my proper hobby of theatre, which I don't have time for now.

Calligraphy! Very relaxing

GothMummy · 28/09/2019 17:01

Horses.. Dogs. Small animals (guinea pigs, bunny, hamsters) sewing, painting, drawing and lots of reading. I do work 5 days a week and have children but the house is not very tidy...

Baking is my main hobby, and I love crafts - making cards and scrapbooking mainly.

Gaming

BeBraveAndBeKind · 28/09/2019 17:34

Knitting, crochet, cross-stitch and sewing. Anything that allows me to stay on the sofa with a mug of tea while I do it really. The DC are older now so I have a bit more time and I can knit/crochet and watch tv at the same time.

delilahbucket · 28/09/2019 18:18

I sing in a choir. To be fair to dp my hobby probably takes up more time than his, but he doesn't mind.
I craft for a living, so although making stuff and sewing was once a bit of a hobby, it quickly turned into a business and then became very un-hobby like! Still enjoy it though.

HotSauceCommittee · 28/09/2019 18:20

Reading, going to gigs, life drawing class, gardening.

Gym classes and running - hate staying still. Have rarely missed a week at the gym for the last 20 years. Counted the days after DT’s were born until I could go back.

Horses.

Reading.

And am just flirting with watersports atm. Dd does dragonboat racing which looks lots of fun and ds does kayaking which I enjoy. I will be doing more kayaking with ds as he is now competent enough for river trips but am also considering joining the dragonboat team as well.

Just wish there were more hours in the week.
