Apart from reading, theatre, films, lunching and brunching....my true love is sewing....dressmaking, all types of garments, bags making too. I love making my great nephews funky clothing (my niece asks me to and chooses fabrics)
Fabric shopping is my illness...mind you all my sewing pals are the same, lol.

Basically any craft (currently got a paint by numbers on the go 😄 and an embroidery)
Just started face painting on the 4 year old and loving it haha 😄
Gym/home workouts but I guess that’s more a needs must thing
Pilates which I really enjoy
That’s about it these days! I feel I have a good balance though and don’t struggle for me time which is just lovely.

In the meantime I just hula hoop when I feel up to it and while I still fit in my hoop Grin

I couldn't possibly say as it would be outing!!!!!!

But I'll cut to the chase and save all the conjecture by saying think golf/sailing/cycling, but it isn't any of those.

and yes, this is pure sarcasm and my real hobbies are getting drunk on two glasses of pinot and dancing whilst drunk on 2 glasses of pinot.
