Re: favourite hobbies

Have you ever felt really scared Steve?

Re: favourite hobbies

Yes I have Mups. Very often. Usually for no good reason. Just the mind playing tricks.

Re: favourite hobbies

There is a group of people in this area who do the same as you, think I'd find it a bit too spooky for me though, and I do believe you can invite the 'wrong' things too.

Re: favourite hobbies

Reading. I am always at my library, and have so many favourite authors I'm rarely without a good book.

Genealogy, when I have a spare day! Takes up so much time.

My little allotment. When I feel like weeding/harvesting/digging/sitting down with a cup of coffee, relaxing.

Computing. Either doing something for the allotment committee, web surfing, letter writing, wasting time on addictive forums. Lol

Voluntary work. Tuesdays helping with computer lessons. This Monday I will start helping a local lady with her animals, start off with a few hours, mucking out and feeding, to get practical experience.

Shopping. Or window shopping. No money to spend so either supermarket necessities, or going around big stores, just browsing.

Day trips. Might go off to London using my free Oyster card and just look around, always taking own lunch and a flask. Jump on a bus if the feet get tired (which they do very quickly now)

Creative writing. When there are no disturbances around me I try to get into it. Got a full size novel on the go, and I like doing short stories too. I also started many years ago spoof Top Gear episodes. Now in the middle of TG does I'm A Celebrity. Won't get anywhere with it, of course, but just enjoy doing it so much.

Started that on a TG forum, but don't go on there anymore. But still do the writing. Very happy and confident with my writing, and determined to publish one day.

Re: favourite hobbies

my you do keep busy...i think that's great...good luck with the novel.....i like genealogy too....been doing both mine and my husbands family tree for about 6 or 7 years.....it can take over your life...it's very interesting

Re: favourite hobbies

Thanks. But as I said, not worked on it for a long time. Still 'fighting' to get the upstairs tenants out. If I had quieter neighbours, I could concentrate. At the moment, I just can't, so fill my time with other activities.

Dreading the winter months when I can't escape, unless they've got the message and gone.

Re: favourite hobbies

Hi Jazzi.
I am feeling exhausted just reading all the things you do.. no chance of you saying i'm bored then.
some rally great stuff there. i love computing myself and really like reading too. i wouldnt be without my kindle now.

Re: favourite hobbies

Just to assure you, I don't do all of them at once! Sounds exhausting, but I don't go out everyday, or garden every day, or do genealogy...oh but you get my drift!

Re: favourite hobbies

oh my...that must be terrible to have up stair neighbors like that...I'm very
fortunate that where i live we don't have anyone upstairs....and the neighbors are great.....the only annoying thing is when the people in the next street play their music...sooooooooo loud...and it's the boom boom sort of music...thankfully it doesn't happen often...when i start the genealogy...everything else gets forgotten...he he
