What hobbies do you do?

[Coz97]

I'm looking for more hobby ideas so would love to hear what some of you do.

I have a young child so not much time for hobbies anymore. I enjoy reading and am in a book club that does a zoom meeting every 2 months. I also walk a lot. That's about it. I used to be in a choir and do yoga.

Yoga classes (live online classes from home 2-3 times a week)
Reading - fiction, self development and poetry
TV
Podcasts
Music
Baking
Theatre
Live music concerts
Cinema
Eating out
Travelling

Next on my list - Wall climbing

I am very limited physically so can't do a lot of my old hobbies but

• I volunteer
• I am teaching myself to sew
• I read a lot
• I like finding new places to visit
• I try and keep my ability to understand french vaguely alive

Not the most exciting list but its a good mixture of different things that I can manage

I’m in the WI ( actually a member of two different groups) and spend a lot of time at various meetings and sub groups. My favourite ones are the Craft group
( have a go at different crafts), Gin group ( drink a variety of gin), Cake group ( bake a cake and sample other peoples cakes) and a Board games group. I probable have 8 or 9 meetings each month so fills my time nicely.

I also read a lot, love crocheting things mainly to donate to various charities and also dabble with a few other crafts like quilting, paper cutting, card making, needle felting and adult colouring books.

I still have a lot of spare time as I live alone and retired early for health reasons so spend a lot of time on my iPad!

Baking/cooking

Embroidery and crossstitch, knitting, miniature painting (that's painting very small pictures, not painting tiny models), making 1:144th scale houses and furniture and 1:48th scale houses and furniture, quilling, jewellery making, flower resin work and anything else that takes my fancy.

I walk and cycle, I do crochet, cross stitch and I like reading, and I meditate.

I do vanishingly little in terms of hobbies these days but would love to do more:

Reading
Renovation/interiors (plenty of research and planning takes place but no time or money to make much actually happen)
Exercise of any type - I'd like to do more dance
Always wanted to write a novel too, started it years ago and have never found decent chunks of time/mental energy to continue.

Honestly can't think of anything else as it all feels a bit pie in the sky when all I ever do is work and housework! Really must organise my time better to do some fun things too.

Are there any corners you can cut on housework? I think carving out a bit of time for fun is important

Walking the dog
Gundog training
Beating/picking up
Horse riding/owner
Taxi service for my teenage daughter and her social life

Sewing, crochet, creative writing & art.

Absolutely agree! I think I must be just inefficient tbh, standards are by NO means too high...although I definitely need to get my dds and dh a bit more involved with more structure. They're all lovely and will do bits, but we're all naturally untidy - and I'm the one with the least tolerance of living like students!

Yoga
Tennis
Reading
Writing short stories
Volunteering

Netball
Spin classes
Weights
Family history

I have a terrible habit of turning my hobbies into jobs so now I am only left with crochet and reality tv as hobbies 😁 keep having to resist the urge to sell my crochet!

Running
Lifting weights, I have a set of kettlebells and a mat at home. Both of these I do before the others are up.

I also like walking and as I live in London I am currently working through all the walks on the Jubilee Greenway.

Reading, I am trying to do more of this as I also spend a lot of time scrolling.

Swim
Classes at the gym
Read
Family history research
Listen to podcasts usually true crime,paranormal and conspiracy theories
My Dd is off to university in September so I will have more time to myself as my Dh works away a lot so I would like to join a choir (was in one many years ago)
