Golf.
Wherever and whenever i get the chance ( usually 3-4 times a week ) i'm out playing it. I will be going today at around 12 and will get home at around 7.
On weekends i'm usually at the course at around 10 until around 6.

My horse. All my time & money goes on my horse.
I've spent most of my adult life caring for my children and doing without and now it's time for me to do something for me. So I bought a horse. Love him to bits. Poor husband though Grin

Horse riding, cycling (yes, Mumsnet, yes!), running (an exaggeration - speed hiking would be more accurate Smile), swimming, skiing and ski touring in the winter, painting, playing the piano, reading.

I go through phases of all of these, mind. I can go for weeks at a time without doing some of the activities while I concentrate on other stuff. I'm not super active - I spend quite a lot of time watching rubbish TV.

Gaming

Rubbing clouds together to make lightning, which I then throw down into towns and villages below.

Regularly do yoga, love Reading, sometimes sewing. Up until about 9 months ago I was an enthusiastic long distance runner but I have ongoing injuries and I'm so so sad!!

I also enjoy other adhoc things like a bit of diy, classic cars and car diy, playing keyboards (v occasional now) and randomly swimming or doing exercise classes if they sound good!

Gertie75 · 25/06/2019 17:54

Photography and gaming, I plan to get back into running when my youngest starts school in September.
