To ask you what your “hobbies” are?

[ItWasOnAStarrrryNight]

I’m looking for some inspiration!

Painting- oils & acrylics

mosaic making

Running (admittedly only fun since I lost enough weight to have zero wobbly bits)
Painting
Walking

Hiking
Horse riding
Reading

Allotment/fruit and veg
wild swimming

yoga
reading/audio books (mostly fiction)

Rock climbing
Partner dancing (multiple styles)
Acting classes & improv classes
Gym, yoga, hiking
And I want to take up singing class soon.

Woodwork

Travel

I plan to start painting again when I retire!

Running
Reading (novels or magazines)
Sewing
Walking / hiking
Jigsaws

I have three kids under 10 and work full time so don’t get to do them that often but try to do something every week

watercolour / mixed media
newly into fountain pens as an extension of the above
quilt-making
reading fiction (print & audiobooks)
playing music
less active lately, but also knitting & crochet

Child-rearing
Cooking
Laundry
Cleaning
Searching for objects lost by others

I’ve got multiple children and it’s just me doing everything for them so if a hobby is collapsing on the bed while my toddler falls asleep and myself falling asleep at 8.30 listening to an audiobook, that’s my hobby.

Seriously though, I’d love to have a hobby again. I’m really good at needlework so I might get back into that in a decade.

Running
Yoga
Pilates
Knitting
Crochet
Spinning (on a spinning wheel)
Singing in a choir

That sounds like a lot, now I type it out. I don't spend as much time as I'd like on my craft hobbies. For pilates I go to a class. Yoga and running I just do on my own when I can fit them in!

Running.
Knitting.
Wild swimming
Birdwatching.

I find the term hobbies a bit cringe, yes! And it reminds me of trying hard to improve my 1980’s CV with a couple of “interesting hobbies”. Truthfullly, when I was young, I had no hobbies save reading. But now I have several: dog walking, long distance trails (without my dogs), visiting historic towns, poking around old buildings, sitting in coffee shops. OK, the last one isn’t a hobby. I still love to read.

Competitive fishing

Procrastinating

Running
Football
Darts
Drawing
Motorbiking (this has been put aside for various reasons but hopefully I’ll get back to it one day!)

Painting
photography
walking

Horse riding, shooting, swimming (pool and ‘wild’), surfing in the summer, skiing in the winter, reading constantly. I have little time these days for many hobbies but still. I also have a motocross bike, but my nerve somewhat failed me once I had children, so it languishes in one of the barns.

Sewing
Swimming
Violin playing

Gym
Painting (I'm not creative though, I have intricate paint by numbers from China that are look amazing when finished)
Podcasts, I love these when driving, at work or walking the dog.
I am a newbie knitter.

I'd love some more hobbies that get me out of the house a bit more.

Gardening
Embroidery (machine and hand)
Reading/audio books
Walking
Gaming
Learning a new craft skill or trying a different project.
Christmas decorating
Carboot hunting for vintage home decor
DIY
Mumsnet?

Teaching myself things (a language, a musical instrument)
Listening to audiobooks; literary fiction, children's books.
Online courses. (Art, music)
Listening to classical music.
Looking at the wildlife in my (very large) local park.
Talking.
Eating crisps.
Playing board games.

reading
writing, mostly poems, talks, path workings, rituals and chants.
drumming
singing and chanting
crafting, mostly home decor stuff and dolls houses
gardening, when I have the energy
there are more, but these are what I do most.

Walking/Hiking

Crochet and getting into wool crafts slowly as I never seem to have time

TV - I know, Im a sad sack but I love the TV

Cycling , just cruising , not competitive

Trying to go get some decent photographs , I used to take photos and do my own developing as a teen

Singing
Playing the piano
Dance class

Hello fellow sewists! Love sewing so much - really diverting and satisfying and you learn a lot about yourself.

Unfortunately I also love the sewing side hobbies of buying fabric and patterns.
