Can I ask you all what you hobby is? I'm looking for something to get me out the house maybe one night a week once lock down is over. Grin

Carp fishing. Which is great because it meant we could go away for a long weekend last week. You can't get much more social distancing than on a lake and you are allowed to stay overnight.

😲 I thought it was prohibited to discuss hobbies on MN, because of their identifiable nature. Or does that only apply to husband's with questionable priorities?

Cycling (I'm a coach and on the committees of a couple of clubs so that takes up a fair bit of time.)
Sailing
Embroidery
I've recently got interested in bird watching - not seriously but I've bought a book and a pair of binoculars and enjoy watching the birds in our garden and on local walks. I'd like to learn more.

Ballet for adults. Can do multiple classes followed by coffee, also one day workshops, also masterclasses that once travelled to studio and had lunch and mooched round a ballet shop or go to a matinee ballet after, can easily take a whole day!

Climbing is great fun, and will definitely get you a day out of the house Smile

Cycling. That’s a solid morning both days on the weekend at least if you join a club.

I train dogs and go to competitions with them. This normally takes up a lot of my spare time!

I swim (obviously not right now)

I go for long walks from the AllTrails app

I also cross-stitch and do jigsaws but they’re obviously in the house.

I write - and take myself off to the library to do so if I need a break from everything DCs and DH

I'd love to get into sailing and I've always wanted to make horse riding a hobby but I think those ships have sailed (excuse the pun Grin)

Hiking. I go for long walks on my own and adore it. I combine it with photography of wild flowers.

MN hates me

I’m also a Cub leader, and hace fine photography and conversational French evening classes in the past. Like a swim and a run too.

Video gaming. MN hates me more!

I draw and paint. Can be totally absorbing and there are lots of groups where like minded people can paint together and socialise. Visits to galleries etc can extend your interest.

@BarbaraofSeville I bet!

The horse costs a good £7k a year when she manages to not hurt herself. More when she does. My vet lives in the village and has a much larger house and a very shiny range rover Hmm

I’ve spent every Christmas morning for as long as I can remember mucking out and have cried so many tears over all the worry.
Wouldn’t change it for the world but bugger me I do sometimes wish I’d a passion for knitting instead Smile
