A bit of background,I'm being made redundant from the Armed Forces. There's nothing job wise I can or need to learn. So I'd like to do something just simply for me.
WWYD for a fun course if you could?

Massage or physiology?

sleepingdragon · 17/06/2014 18:10

I did a Swedish body massage course and an Indian head massage course a few years ago that I really enjoyed- although possibly it has ended up being more for other people than for me I do manage to get people to give me a massage back!

Horse riding.
I had a less than great experience when young with a bad tempered horse which led to a broken foot and not much enthusiasm for horse riding.
I'd love to try again Smile

Dressmaking - because I am not at all artistic / creative but I could follow a pattern!

Singing lessons

1moreRep · 17/06/2014 18:47

Gymnastics, if you like criminology why not a creative writing class, helping at a homeless shelter, gardening, dress making,

Thumbwitch · 18/06/2014 00:13

Not much relaxing about ice-skating, as I remember it, unless you've done it a bit before! Grin Although I suppose you do spend some time lying around...
