AIBU to ask what your non sporting hobbies are?

[Zippyzoppy]

Just reading another thread and lots of people are mentioning their hobbies (though not saying what they are)!

I want a (non sporting) hobby!

So please tell me about yours. I am pretty sociable so would like something that is sociable in nature. Only caveat is that I don't want to do a sport.

Do you have dogs?
You could do something with them.
Plenty to choose from
Scent work

Tracking
Agility.

Obviously if you don't have dogs please ignore me 😂

Mine is bonsai. Horticulture and art combined. I belong to several clubs and go to those meetings (it has been rather quiet over the last year or so but meetings are starting up again), there are always shows, exhibitions, sales and events on all over the country, and you get to meet some really interesting people.

Drinking Wine
I’m very good at it

Book group
Gardening
Trolling online message forums

Piano
Guitar
Sewing
Reading

Gardening and animal keeping used to be hobbies but have now ended up being job/lifestyle.

Oh I see it needs to be sociable

Drinking wine with other people

Drinking and shagging.
But only at the weekends.

Learning bridge (card game)
Sewing
Gardening DIY
Playing guitar

Creative writing, but I'd say that's more actively antisocial as it's so bloody hard to resist asking people to read my stories 😂

Board games
Choirs/orchestras
Baking/cooking

I know a few people who do am dram, gardening/allotments, book groups

Knitting was mine, however our Stitch and Bitch sessions haven’t restarted since Covid.

Art class
Wild swimming (I mostly just splash about, not serious swimming)
Dressmaking
Youtubing
Gardening

Gardening
Crochet
Bee keeping
Bridge

Crafting - hand embroidery, knitting. Both have bi- monthly 'knit and natter' sessions which also involves cake.

Family history and genealogy- not that sociable but can be be when I attend information/ research events.

I'm about as antisocial as they come, so my (non sporting) hobbies are generally solitary. Latin, poetry, piano, trombone, playing with cars... Campanology is physical, but not a sport exactly and is sociable. Historical / archaeological societies? Life drawing?

Bellydance, creative writing, hiking

Book club
Choir
Crochet group

My goodness you are all so brave. You do all know that listing hobbies is extremely outing 🤣🤣

Fwiw my non sporting interests include Brownies, knitting, reading, visiting churches/cathedrals, tarot cards, crystals and other such woo stuff.

Bookclub

Church bellringing (don't have to be a church goer or religious for that matter)

Beekeeping

I have other hobbies but they're more solitary.

Yoga

Well! I did put paragraphs in my post but they've disappeared into one long sentence

I spend many many hours sat on my arse drinking coffee with various friends in cafes. I used to have lots of hobbies but now this is my main thing. Along with meeting friends for lunch.

I like gardening, but more directing others if I'm honest "move that pot over there love".

Love art galleries and theatre.

Book club

Art exhibitions, big time. Probably one of my major expenditures, and watch programmes and read about the artists etc.

Theatre. I've had a few of the greatest experiences of my life watching plays. I mostly aim to watch stuff I've never seen before in any form.

Acting
Theatre
Knitting
Sewing
Crochet
Dancing
Baking
Cake decorating

They’re very much reduced since kids but those are all hobbies I’ve had over the last 15 years.
