Hobbies

That_Girl_ Is_ A_Cowboy

I used to only have one main hobby which was computer game playing but over the past three years I took up a range of different hobbies like:
Jigsaws
Colouring
Cross stitching
Knitting

My favourite is knitting. I did a little bit of it in school a long time ago and enjoyed it a lot and took it up last year and since then I learned so much and work on making loads. Knitting relaxes me so much.

Colouring in books might appear to be childish but I can assure you it's not. There are colouring books available for adults like mandala designs. Also celtic art colouring books. I find it very therapeutic. This is a newspaper article from last week about colouring:
http://www.calgaryherald.com/mobile/story.html?id=9901606 Colouring is going down a storm in France.

It's been ages since I played a game on the computer and longer since I made a jigsaw. I might take a break from the knitting and play a game or make a jigsaw sometime.

Do you have much hobbies and what are they?

I go through stages.

But here are some...I practise to varying degrees.

Running.

Dance.

Violin /Guitar/singing

Drawing /painting/art /digital art (my mother runs a graphic design business which I help in so it ties in).

Animals.

Poker/chess/RPG (though have not RPGed in a while)

Drama/mime/ theatre (have not done in a while to love it)

Writing ( I sometimes write articles and sell them and I edit and write copy I hope to get more published and a book one day).
Gym sometimes...other classes there.

Nature /walking

Listen to music /seeing theatre music live.

That's a lot ...but I go through periods where I do one more etc

Running and dance I keep.

People go through phases.

I used to ride horses ..now only occasionally.

neamhspleachi

Hunting, brewing beer & restoring motorcycles

reading, writing, singing (classical and 'normal' now) the occasional bout of skyrim, running, lifting, swing dancing when I get the chance
If I had time I'd play my cello and get a piano again... oh well!

Oh and baking. Baking ALL the things!

Although I would need to work on the lifting. Very good for women though.

I am mightily impressed by the archery, though I can daydream in all weathers.

I've been living in Germany for the past number of years, so am lucky enough to be within driving distance of a number of fine ski resorts. My passion is now for off-piste skiing. Germany resorts don't tend to attract the type of Irish and British ski tourist who consider drinking 10 pints of strong lager an essential part of the après-ski experience.

I'm an enthusiastic, if limited, dilettante of playing the piano. While I'll never be performing with the Berlin Philharmonic I'm able to knock out a relatively wide range of numbers if we have guests over for dinner.

While I'd consider myself fluent in German, I still consider it a hobby to work out some of the regional slang and dialects, especially the Low Saxon dialects.

I still love to read. I do most of my reading in English, preferring to read in the native language of the author, rather than in a hurried translation into German.

And on the other hand you can read Das Parfum in its native language

Not quite up to that myself yet I reckon...

No doubt while relaxing on an Italian leather chair, resplendent in your smoking jacket, your monocle occasionally dropping into your fine French brandy when perusing a risqué storyline.

It's not a book I'd ever have much of a desire to read. If it's as overwrought and turgid as the movie - then it can stay on the bookshop shelf.

I'd recommend Haltet euer Herz bereit: Eine ostdeutsche Familiengeschichte by Maxim Leo. There is a rather excellent translation into English that could be useful if trying to work out context or nuance. If I have any criticism, it's that it tends to portray the East German regime in a rather nostalgic light.

Kinda fell into the archery - my neighbour is starting up an archery business and got me into it. It's fun and there's something primal about hitting a target bang on

Sleeping is always my hobby,Aha, i can sleep for the whole day.

Balmed Out

Back when I was single I always used to find it such a turn off when a girl didn't have any hobbies or take part in any sports or anything.

Anyhow I surf, swim, jog, gym, travel, read, live sports, hiking etc. Would love to play an instrument but im tone deaf.

LoonyLovegood

Knitting and crochet are my things to do. I'm constantly being told I'm an old woman by my sister. I read a lot too.

I hear ya. I'd be the same. I mean how the hell do you get rid of them for a few hours if they don't play sport or have any other interests to occupy themselves? I couldn't hack that.
