Hobbies And Interests:what are yours?

I had just replied to someone who replied to my post.The idea came up about interests.So I thought it would be nice if we all share our interests/hobbies here.I'll start.

Here are my interests/hobbies:

I love playing piano and writing music.I do it because I enjoy it.I havent played professionally although I've managed to sit at a grand piano in places that had one and never got a complaint.

1970s hits vinyl record collection.Been collecting for many years.Built up a collection.

Old toys I had when I was kid.I bought more of the ones I used to have and bought other ones I wanted to have.I even bought the books on those toys so I can read up about each one.Matchbox,Corgi,Dinky and Hot Wheels.You guys can relate to that.

I love reading.I buy books on my favourite cars,how to type books,self improvement books,pets,toys,etc.The enjoyment I get from reading and the calming effect it has is also a bonus.My latest books are about acupressure,some car books,how to paint cars,etc.

Your turn.What hobbies and interests have you got? What do you love about them?

Chris.

Good morning everyone,
My hobbies are baking and cooking new dishes from recipe books. I am loving Karen Martini's recipes at the moment. I also love taking my doggy for walks and blogging. Have a great day 😀

Hi @Shaz51

1) Bird-watching & Bird-keeping - I've actively kept many different types of finches (& bred them), over the past 20 years.

The Bird-watching (except watching my birds) - haven't done much in years.

2) Bushwalking - always will be a Bushwalker, yet not actively involved in that (for years).

3) Botany, plants, Horticulture & Gardening - I have an extensive plant knowledge, built up from 12 years working in Horticulture (& a Grad Dip Sc Environmental Management).

I have not actively done much Gardening, in recent years - I enjoy looking at other people's lovely Gardens.

4) Yoga - my weekly Yoga Classes are very helpful.

I look forward to seeing people there, although we don't talk much.

5) Dating - Yes it has to be an Interest (or Hobby).

Otherwise, I have no chance of finding a partner (Relationship) - If I don't put in effort to meet people.

6) Having a Family (Major Goal) - On Hold for many years now, as I don't have someone to do that with.
