I do cook a lot though, often for pleasure, not sure if that counts.

Would cooking be considered a hobby, but only if you threw it away without eating it?

Presumably cooking your dinner isn’t a hobby 😆

We’ve got two young kids (girls 8+4) so most of my leisure time is spent taking them to their leisure activities (endless birthday parties, ballet/street jazz/tap dancing/ drama lessons, Brownies, etc)

When I do actually get some ‘me’ time it is road biking, photography, bit of woodwork, Scouty stuff (I’m a DofE assessor + assistant Explorer scout leader) cooking, travel, etc.

Long term I’m hoping to get a bit more into the woodwork, and to buy a 4×4 for trips away.

motorbikes
machining stuff – see show me what you made thread
motorbike racing, engine tuning etc
mtb
dog
reading, documentaries and films
music – played keyboards in a band and play guitar for fun, badly
there’s a few more things but i only seem to be able to concentrate on 2 or 3 of them at the same time and the other ones seem to get put to one side for a while. Making stuff and mtb (and the dog) are the main ones though

I suppose is should answer the original question really.

Over the years, I’ve had many hobbies…my wife used to say my book shelf was the sign of someone who was bored as it was full of stuff on my various hobbies.

Snowboarding (once a year)
Fishing (lapsed)
Fitness/running (lapsed)
Thai boxing (old)
Wing Chun (old)
Other various martial arts (old)
Golf (old)
Photography (old)
Wood working (new – currently renovating an old garage to be my workshop)

I read a lot, but that’s not a hobby I don’t think.

As we’ve just moved to a bigger home that needed/needs a lot of work, my current hobby is DIY/gardening.

This is it, I do cook my dinner but also cook or bake just because I have an hour spare and want to play in the kitchen. It does get eaten though, even if that is just by the gannets at work.

(Try to) play tennis a couple of evenings a week, and cardio tennis twice a week which I really enjoy!

Rallying – been all over the world watching & taking photos at events, but now mainly filming for a tv program these days which takes up a lot of my time outside work, also try to do a bit of co-driving now and again, have done the Safari Rally in Kenya twice and probably will again next year.

Love map reading and could sit and look at maps for hours and hours, either randomly or trying to work out a route for driving or biking.

Would love to give kayaking a go but wouldn’t know where to start and, again, not knowing anyone who would also try it is annoying.

big thanks Franki and McHamish
