Just apple! I'm a cider making virgin currently but I've drank plenty of my friend's stuff and it's yum. He makes spiced apple, apple and raspberry, and I think pear. I'm just sticking with the apple for now and we'll see how much of a mess I make of the kitchen!

On good weather days: Archery, being outdoors, falconry, and photography...
On bad weather days: sewing, knitting, crochet... bake stuff, or cook stuff...
yeah, that, mostly.

wouldn't have any interest in the likes of Vegas to be honest

I will give this a try with just apples to begin with, but I have to admit that I'm really partial to pear cider as well.
Since natural juice is needed, I'm thinking I'd be making that myself as well so.

And I've got a suspicion that apple and cherry cider might be a really good thing, too

Let me know how it goes with the cider!
I love making things I could just as easily buy in shops, just for the fun of making them.
I'd make my own jams, pickles and chutneys (they've a tendency to go wrong, though ), I've started making granola (yum!), baking bread, making mulled wine in winter etc.

I meant to add baking to my list!

Yep, no bother
Do you want me sent you the step by step guide another very lovely boardsie gave me?

For fun, I like to read about people swapping recipes.

Honestly curious now, after having been told that I am apparently dead on the inside for not liking the idea of going to Las Vegas.

Personally, the best fun for me at home is reading a good book, cooking and baking, or painting (not that I'm any good, I just enjoy it)

On holiday, I love going to museums, learning about the history of wherever I may be, and hiking and exploring nature.

So what do you guys do for fun?

Yeah, your life sounds ok to me. Just make sure you put some riding into the mix.:D

Kerbal Space Program is what I do for fun.

Recently discovered Geocaching - it's great craic - everyone should try it. I'll be brewing my own cider this week! Lifting heavy things in the gym. Driving. Walking in the mountains. Boards. Having chats and tea with friends. Boozing and dancing. Weekends away. Telling stupid jokes that only I laugh at.

Cooking and baking is fun and relaxing. Exploring nature is fun too, have you tried that geocaching yet?

Just googled gerocaching. Looks interesting. It was the first I heard of it. Thanks

Don't forget about the cooking/recipes forum on boards too- great place to share recipes and get ideas.

--Kaiser--

Guitar, walking, hiking, exercising, snowboarding, sprinting, martial arts, soccer, reading, writing, arguing, socialising, crosswords and playing with dogs

I did the same... I'm not sure yet, but I'll look into it further.

I'm usually on the Vegetarian/Vegan section of that forum. Thanks!

I think most of my interests relate to food or travel – preferably both!I really love eating out. I also love dining in and creating recipes or trying dishes I’ve never made before to challenge myself. I simply adore cooking.I also love boat fishing in warm weather and love coming home and hot smoking my freshly caught fish for supper. I also love baking bread. I adore travelling and have been lucky enough to go to some pretty far flung places and experience amazing things and eat some great street food as well as in good restaurants. I also love food markets when abroad! Am also a voracious reader so like to have a well stocked bookcase and have a good book on the go – you’re always in good company with a good book I reckon! I also dabble a bit in blogging and creative writing. I also love hiking and hill walking which I try to do as often as possible. And I love spending time with loved ones, have a great husband, family and circle of friends so really enjoy meeting up for food and a few cheeky wines and good conversation!

I womanize, I drink.
I make outrageous claims like I invented the question mark.
Sometimes I accuse chestnuts of being lazy.
The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

Hoop66

I like skinny-skiing and going to bullfights on acid.

the purple tin

I play a millionaire at parties...at least, I'd like to

everlast75

Play CoD on the xbox, Airsoft (not as much as I should), bring my dogs for walks, eat out when we can, watch comedy, listen to podcasts and go to concerts.

Re Vegas, I spent 10 days there and frankly loved the place. Oh, and I didn't place one bet either!

darrcow

I love to tickle the wifes bum with sticks of celery :eek:

Drinking, gambling on and following/watching a number of different sports, watching tv, internet, play a bit of golf, play a bit of squash, driving and looking after my car. I'm sure there are a few more but they are the main ones.

frank reynolds

i like to save up my money, and then go abroad and spend it all in another country. there's NO fun in this country. the fun i have to pass the time in between holidays is to ride and smoke weed.

Lawrence1895

I'm going down to Tolka Park and watch Shels. It's very entertaining

Icyseanfitz

mountain biking, cycling in general, cross country running, mountain climbing, games, tv, books, the odd social-able drink, and food, i do love food, pity really considering it clashes drastically with some of my fitness hobbies

oh and dogs

Pumpkinseeds

I like reading,writing,crosswords and playing with our cats. At weekends I like to graze my way through some dry roasted peanuts while watching tv programmes with my husband that we've recorded during the week. I've been off all booze and junk food for Lent, so I'm looking forward to an ice cream binge during Game of Thrones on Monday night. I've been nagging my husband to teach me to play chess and GO,so I'm hoping we'll get started on those this weekend.

I don't want fun anymore

It depends. On holidays it would be swimming, surfing, diving, hiking, sailing, exploring, eating out, museums or cultural events on a city break, although usually I like visiting places with a bit of history and finding out about it all. On winter holidays its skiing or snowboarding, or city breaks with more of the same.

One thing I don't find relaxing is the sitting on the beach all day thing. The boredom would kill me.

lazygal

I like getting outraged about things like threesomes and blasphemous painting and talking to Joe about it.

Schwiiing

I love sucking the fun out of everything. Everyone knows it. I love when I walk into a room and I can feel the energy just drain out the occasion. I feed off of the hate in peoples eyes and the disappointment on their faces.

That could be the thoughts of a certain manager of a certain football club in Drumcondra
