Your hobby

[ivykaty44]

We hear often about do or dh hobby

But what about your hobby?

What do you do in your spare time

Mine is cycling & reading fiction

Knotting...?! Knitting

Reading (I run a large group for book-lovers on FB), and sewing quilts.

Oh, and I've got an allotment. I guess that's a hobby.

Reading, running (haven't for 9 months due to pregnancy though and currently waiting for OK to run after c section), gardening. My passion is horses but I had to loan then sell my pony when I was pregnant with my son 5 years ago. Dying to get back into it once this one is old enough to be left.

So basically at the moment not much :(

Gig and festivals too when not tied to baby

Musical theatre, watching it and helping to produce/direct large scale am dram productions. (At proper theatres that seat up to 600 people) going through the stage door never gets boring . That’s the main thing I do outside work, it’s project based and very social with the cast/crew for each individual production, great fun!

I also enjoy Baking cakes that look crap but taste nice. 🧁

Horses. Nothing better to lift the spirit than riding through the fields on a summers day with the skylarks singing overhead.

parkrun (my name is a clue!), and running training. And Scottish country dancing (teaching and dancing).

Crochet, barbershop singing, doing a part time degree and hoping to get back out running / gym soon

@ferretygubbins I love your garden forge.

There doesn't seem to be any courses near me so it looks like I'll be forced to go for a weekend away somewhere to do a course or I might see if my farrier will let me invade his workshop and give me a crash course, although I would like to learn to do something more decorative than a horses shoe, he might have some old tools lying around I could rehome!

Pole dancing

Football and basketball, a bit of yoga. I have a beautiful vegetable garden and some sheep and chickens I adore minding. I LOVE to cook but it’s on hold these years while the babies are little, it’s just not fun when I’m disturbed every 2 mins of the process and then nobody eats it anyway😅. I’ve boufht a sewing machine and hope to quilt in the near future. I’m quite a little old lady!

I'm part of a triathlon group (so running, swimming and road cycling)
I love my Friday night yoga classes.
I have a book club I attend.
We try to go out hiking as a family as much as possible.
And travel...I set myself a target on my 30th birthday to have visited every European country by the time I turn 40. I could only include places I'd been as an adult...so none of the places I got to go with my parents/grandparents as a child. I'm going to hit 5 new countries this year.

Reading, theatre, cinema, singing in a choir and performing in concerts and festivals.

Yoga
Netflix
Sleeping
Trying to stay sane

Running
weightlifting
Sewing
Sketching
Learning French
Hiking
Creative writing
Reading

Same as my DH, actually, Roman re-enactment. He does military (yes, gentle reader, that means he is expected to polish his own helmet.... ho ho ho) and I do civilian, which is mostly textile-related stuff.

Also cat-wrangling and writing historical fiction completely unrelated to the period we re-enact :-D

Yoga and running, plus as much sleep as I can squeeze in

Knitting, painting glass and silk, making cards, cooking. I'm teaching myself to sew and like a bit of light pootering in the garden.

Cycling
Running
Hiking

Salsa dancing and recently started tango.

I also go the the gym, but don't class that as a hobby, it's just something I should do for my health. And I do many, many hours of voluntary work a week, but that also isn't a hobby. I suppose a vocation would be the nearest I can get to describing it.

Powerlifting. I like picking up very heavy things and putting them back down!

Top-whipping
Quoits
Dressage
Zoetropage
Decoupage
Stilt walking
Bagatelle
The Fiddle

Choir, sewing/knitting, film, gardening. Cycle to commute and love it. Also read for work but that would be a hobby.

Every time one of these threads comes up I'm reminded that I want to try reenactmenting...
