To ask you to share your and your partners mystery hobbies

[Grobagsforever]

Because if I read another 'doing his hobby' I will scream.

IT'S NOT OUTING. THE VAST MAJORITY OF MALE PARTNERS ON HERE CYCLE, GOLF OR PLAY RUGBY/FOOTBALL.

I'll start. I don't have a hobby as I'm a lone parent with a FT job but I spend any leisure time reading. BF plays golf and take part in several orchestras.

Husband making his own craft beer and is heavily involved in the homebrew society. Does my nut in.

The house is full of beers for various competitions

Felting, model making (him, planes, cars etc, me OOAK sculptures), knitting, cycling, dogs... none of these things are overly outing or novel!

Him - football, running and pub crawls

Me - horse riding, reading and cooking

Very dull when written down! Maybe that’s why people say their hobby is outing, to avoid others thinking it’s a very unexciting hobby...

Loving reading all of the interesting hobbies! My hobby is playing rugby, his is horology. That feels fairly outing!

I was joking but I have posted DH's hobby up thread too.

Partner does airsoft.

My husband: guitar, cycling, sailing, looking at bikes, guitars and boats, talking about bikes, guitars and boats, practising guitar, obsessing over wind speed, obsessing over strava, cleaning bikes, fixing bikes, buying expensive bikes.

Me:running. Except I can't run as I'm broken so now I do fuck all and sulk about it a lot!

@Windygate they are all levels of disability. The invictus games are for all ex military no matter what injury. They could have mental health issues and still be placed in the team. In the wheelchair rugby they can have a number of points on the 'pitch' at any one time and able bodies have more points so it is not in their best interest to have too many on the pitch, then there is people with upper body weakness, limbs missing etc. All players are strapped into the chairs so there is no benefit to having working legs. They may have 2 legs but use a stick etc. The invictus ethos is that everyone gets a chance so just because you can't see their disability it is very much still there. There are therapy dogs always around watching their owners compete and helping them to cope. Invictus is a great healing tool for all ailments mental and physical. I just find all the paraphanalia galling!!

DH football and bowling.
Mine reading, crosswords, shopping and MN.

DH, playing guitar and diy
Me, knitting, cross stitch, crochet, Zumba, Pilates, yoga.

Me - baton twirling and ballet

I dabble in whatever crafts take my fancy for a while. Sometimes I even finish the projects.

DP: tinkering with old cars, meeting other people who do the same
Both of us are gamers

My FIL and I go to ceroc class together several times a week. And practise the routines in between times.

My DH and his sister’s hobby is to laugh at us doing ceroc together.

Does mumsnetting count as a hobby?

Me: reading, crochet, cross stitch and walking

Dh walking, cycling, motorbike

@andannabegins thank for taking the time to explain. It's obviously a very complex set of criteria and very inclusive.

DH: fish tanks. Many many fish tanks.
Me: nothing these days as I'm too busy looking after DD while he is cleaning/rearranging/gazing at the fish tanks

DH: sailing
Me: replying to threads like this, pointing out that the number of threads about non-specific hobbies is almost matched by the number of threads complaining about this

Me acrylic pouring and DH swearing at the tv and eating.

I'm single - knitting, crochet, sewing, patchwork, embroidery, cross-stitch, anything textile. Also playing games on my mobile.

I used to rifle shoot and be a reservist, as well as cub scouts and cadets. Now I can't be arsed and am too old for one.
