What DFW hobbies do you all have ?

Hi All

Like most of us on here, I have cut down on going out drastically in order to save a few pounds but I am looking for ideas as to how to spend my spare time now that I have more of it.

I do spend an awfully long time here on these forums (like most of us probably ) but I spend my work day in front of a computer and would like to take up a hobby/pastime that doesn't involve the computer....well, at least not for the WHOLE evening anyway

I was wonder how other DFW's spend there spare time ? What hobbies to you all have (other than being dedicated MSE'rs of course

I'm a School Governor, which can take up as much or as little of your time as you like and costs nothing but time. I'm also a Freemason, so completely different type of thing and just as rewarding but in a different way.

Edit: Incase anyone wonders I am a woman!

I cycle, sew, paint, read, write, dance Scottish Country Dance and belong to a drama club.

I *try* to paint

I *try* to design furniture

I *try* a lot of things but my ambition is scuppered by lack of talent!

Reading, mooching on the net, clicking for points lol does that count as a hobby?

Erm I tried my hand at beading, done a few pairs of earrings as gifts etc.

Hi Madauri

You sound a busy person I would love to join a drama club but I am rather shy and lack self-confidence.....probably not the best qualities for being member of a drama club eh ! I wish I were more confident as it looks like a lot of fun and ideal for me as I have no dependents as such (son just turned 18) and no partner so all my evenings are free.......gosh that does sound kinda sad :eek:

There are hundreds of websites...google Freemasons and see what comes up. Mostly a load of inaccurate junk but may cure your curiosity

Hi CAFCGirl - yes, I would definitely count reading, mooching on the net and clicking for points as hobbies as that is the sum total of my hobbies at the moment BTW - I have been lurking on your diary for a month or two and been meaning to let you know how much I have enjoyed it Keep it up !

CAFCGirl

Awwwwwwww thanks very much

OOOOOOOOOh does that count as a hobby too?lol

madauri

Oh, I am very shy, but I always remind myself the two main things:
-I know the words, the public doesn't
-it is scientifically impossible to die of embarrassment

If you don't feel safe on the stage you can try helping with the props or the lights, or what I find more interesting and creative, the set-up (and down, after the play's over). Come on, give it a try.

CAFCGirl, you do have talent: what about those earrings? I've tried beading before and I'm helpless at it.
