What things do you love that your family and friends don't understand?

[BabyJellyShark]

I've recently rediscovered the Pro Wrestling of my childhood. It was huge when I was growing up and I get nostalgic when watching old matches.

Also museums, any museum regardless of subject and delis. I'm always looking for something new to try. I can't walk past a deli or Chinese/Japanese/Turkish etc store.

There are others too but I'll have to think about them.

No judgement because there are plenty of things they love that don't appeal to me but is there anything you love that puzzles your family or friends?

Fascinated by wooden madonnas in churches. Also, mermaids, and associated mythology.

Just came on to say wrestling too, I just got back into it. Noone else gets it but I love it.

The Archers

K dramas, both DH and DS are a mix of bemused and patronising about my love of them.

My tennis addiction.
My enduring love of the Antiques Roadshow

Mumsnet

It's nice to see a fellow fan.

My love of cleaning. Literately can't sit down till I know the house is spotless.

And my love of the royal family. Could read endless books about them.

Doctor Who

Collectable books.

Rowing.

I train six days a week, double outings on Saturday and Sunday mornings with 6am starts. I love it, get twitchy when I can't train, love competing in head races and regattas. Friends and family think I am mental.

True crime podcasts.
PG Wodehouse.

Planes
Penpals (I have 16)

None of them get my love of foreign language series and films. DH says the subtitles are too fast.
Thankfully we have more than one TV.

Dressage, and medieval literature.

Playing Fortnite 😳

Classical music
Being vegan

When I eat those cheap crabsticks my entire family looks at me in utter disgust. Sometimes I think my DH would never have married and reproduced with me if he had known.

Klondike - a game on the laptop
Supernatural - TV program. I have a themed bedroom and tattoo
My love of Discworld, they're dissapointingly unintended.

Chess

Are your penpals from childhood or have you found them recently. I'd LOVE to have penpals now.

Are your letters handwritten or is it email?

Fascinating!

Mumsnet
The 1950s
Headscarves
Prepping
Having a good look in charity and antique shops

Scott mills! It sounds ridiculous but his podcast got me through lockdown, I was in an abusive relationship and once the kids were in bed I would walk the dog and listen to Scott mills.
I have since left the relationship.
I was devastated when Scott left R1 and had a little cry at his last show

All Bran

I don't know a single person that likes it.
