I love Astronomy, have a subscription to Astronomy magazine (just love the old fashioned magazines here)
I wanna get a telescope, but I keep procrastinating as I wanna get one right for me , but at the same time wanna get a decent one - but not spend a fortune either ... so yeah ... long finger, more of an armchair astronomer really, but love going out on a clear moonless night and looking up.

Reading - Sci Fi, popular Science, Horror, History ....
Films...

The collecting of arcane things would be a biggie and has been to one degree or other since I was a kid. Archaeology, palaeontology, antiques, natural history, antiquities, technology, music, astronomy, militaria, human spaceflight, history, horology, books, media, geology, art and so on. I'm interested in pretty much everything bar sports. My gaff is like a 17th century cabinet of curiosities. :eek:

That covers a lot of ground.
Fly fishing.
Cars.
Go through an art stage every so often.

Bird Watching
Gardening
Hill Walking
Fishing
Reading
Writing
Genealogy
Nature Studies
History of Science
Local History
Crosswords
and whatever takes my fancy from time to time. Being retired I have the luxury of trying any activity I wish. Some become ongoing interests and others lapse.

You had me at fly fishing.

Completely addicted to jigsaw puzzles. Love reading. Do a bit of bouldering, hoping to get into it more, just need to find the time. Badminton from time to time. Starting Toastmasters soon, I talk at a million miles an hour so I'm hoping it'll slow me down.

Chess keeps me off the treadmill.

I think I've tried almost all hobbies and sports at this stage, there's just so much to do and try that I rarely focus on anything to get really good at it though, usually just go through cycles of different interests.. the main ones would be history, painting, supporting the local soccer club, hiking, boxing, shooting and languages.. I guess

I've a few bits and bobs C. Tailwheel(same one fitted to FW190's), compass, altimeter(both from a known example shot down in the Battle of Britain), petrol gauge, injectors, ammo transport box for the BK 37mm shells as used by the JU87g Cannon bird/Panzerknacker, Junkers works assembly plans and a compass and a watch worn by a Stuka pilot.

Ariadne · 04-02-2019 10:26PM

This is an insecurity of mine, not really having hobbies. I hate being asked about my hobbies as I feel like a shell of a human who doesn't have a personality.

However, I've realised I do like gaming, reading, watching films, doing jigsaw puzzles, arrow words, crosswords, playing board games and putting Lego together the odd time. I love to go to countries or cities I haven't been to before and explore. Wait, does masturbating count as a hobby?

I do love to swim and use a pedalo too

Playing Gaelic football
Running
Rom piracy and emulation
Pointing and clicking with a mouse. Also tapping and downswiping my phone.
Drinking

I had some others listed but then I realised that they would be enough to figure out my real name. I'm not famous or anything like that but one must be careful online.

Choral singing
Hiking
Writing
Drawing
Don't do all of them all the time, go through phases. Choral singing is the constant one as it's a group activity, need to hike more with groups, it's more fun.

What hobbies do you have?
