Things you wish you could get into but you just can't!

[HalfWayAroundTheLoop]

The biggest frustration for me is running. I just cannot run, I've tried so many times. It's just too hard, too uncomfortable and boring boring boring. Yet running clubs seem like such a good way to interact with a community.

Cycling, same as above. I HATE it.

Gardening. What a lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon, pottering about planting flowers and growing your own vegetables in your very own garden. Unfortunately I hate gardening. It gives me backache and my hands aren't strong enough.

Feel free to add on...

Tuneless

Gardening. I've never really tried but it does seem like hard work & I don't like getting my hands dirty

Tennis - far too technical & too much running around

Sushi

Open watr swimming (in Britain). Somewhere warm, great, I'll stay in the lake or ocean water for hours. But in UK.... brrrrrrrrrr !! I hate being cold.

The lord of the rings trilogy

Interior design. It just doesn’t interest me at all. Never has. I don’t have a creative cell in my body. Shopping for soft furnishings, decor, lighting, bed linen, whatever is my idea of utter tedium, and life is far too short for that. Unfortunately, DP is exactly the same. Not interested, doesn’t care. Therefore we live in the most un-stylish house you can possibly imagine. We could employ someone but that would cost money which could be much better spent on another holiday.

I guess running

The wire

Succession.

Wine
Ian McEwan ( I tried!)
Yoga

Me to i hate it.
Im not a morning person.

Any sort of exercise.
Going out in the rain. Or cold. I don't do cold, eg lake swimming.

Wine. Tried multiple over the years, just cant get into it

Flying. I hate heights. I have flown, but i don't think I can again, and there's so many places I'd like to see.
Knitting in the round - I have tried and I just can't do it. I would love to make a fabulous Scandi jumper

Strictly. I just don’t care.

Jazz. I have fairly broad musical taste, anything from Metallica to Mozart, but I just can’t get on with jazz. I know it’s supposed to be cool & clever & sophisticated etc etc, but to me it’s just music without the tunes.

Yes you have to hover it a chance. Say 3 episodes.

Doing the bloody washing up

Gaming.

I always think it is something I should love (v techy and love puzzles) but no matter which game I’ve tried none of them seem to hold my interest. I really don’t know why and it is rather annoying!

Oh, and opera. Love ballet but opera just doesn’t work for me at all.

Exercise. I need to do it, but I haven't ever done proper exercise and now I can't. I still need to do it though, so I just do a bit of swimming.

Gravy.

Ruins food.

Crochet and knitting, I'm quite fancy with a needle and thread and a piece of fabric, but can't decipher instructions for anything wool based!
Listen to a podcast; too long and waffly.
Cooking, I can cook and bake and not burn anything so I have basic technique, but I can't seem to make things taste flavoursome and "up a level".

You don’t have to believe. Did you know that over 30% of British Jews don’t believe in a God?

Or that 28% of British Christians don’t believe in any spiritual power?

I have always exercised a lot but agree with running. I find it even worse on the treadmill.
Knitting, can’t do it.
Takeaways, probably for the best, but mostly i think they are just awful.

Sourdough anything. Brioche was bad enough but sourdough can fuck off.

Crochet

Crotchet.

My tax return. I pay a lovely accountant to do it but should probably be able to do it myself.

Nordic walking. Friends swear by it but those sticks just annoy me.
