What do you do for fun?

[Q1w2e3]

Someone just asked me this. Following it up with ‘’real fun’ and I just realised I have no idea how to respond. I like my job, mess about online, occasionally go out with friends. But now that I think about it there’s not much fun in my life really.

What do you do for fun? Looking for some suggestions for the new year.

See friends. Go to comedy and music gigs.

As a couple we go and see live music a couple of times a year. On my own I enjoy crafts but I don't find much time to do it.

I was just discussing this with my friend. I don't know either.

Swim, read and go to the cinema. Sadly my other faves which are drinking, spending and smoking are stopping in the new year!

All hail drinking, spending and smoking. Fine hobbies, may they rest in peace.

Meet friends.
Walk the dog on the beach/in the woods.
Go on picnics in the mountains.
Swim.
Sew.
Paint.
Culture (seeing small bands, cinema, talks, poetry readings, workshops).

Being outside, being creative, laughing with DH, DS and friends, stroking the dog - kind of makes me high!

I garden.

Listen to music. Go to free classical concerts in a local church. I realise this sounds like very tame "fun"!

Last fun I had was chap door run away. Being an adult is not 'fun'.

Things I like doing: comedy shows, adventurous things like zip wiring, canoeing, swimming, beach walks, mountain walks, camping. I basically love being outdoors. However, if you looked at my general week, I guess I seem quite boring. I go to work (and love my job) and come home most evenings and watch TV or mess about on here. I volunteer once a week and see various friends too.

Ride.

Especially when it's windy and they go a bit jumpy (technical term).

Ride bikes
Walk in the hills
Go camping
The odd gig
All of the above with friends

Hiking
Gym
Yoga class
Child free dining
Coffee shop and a good book

Go to small gigs. I love live music.

Some of my volunteering is fun. Even when it is the more mundane stuff - meetings and the like - it can still be fun being with the other people I volunteer with.
At what point does 'to relax' or 'for pleasure' become "fun" ?

Drink too much and eat too much. All gone from Jan 1st. Sigh.

Cooking, sometimes. Depends on the food!

I have more fun in the summer... hiking, camping, cycling, wandering around the countryside. Swimming. Climbing.

At the moment in the evenings: reading books, listening to music, boxing, and sketching / painting. I’m also learning French.

It amuses me for a while.

Play board games. Bloody love them.

Go on adventurous holidays.

Spend time with my pets.
