~Andrea~ Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 My favorite hobby is creative writing, its probably the real reason I like to read - to improve my own use of language, get ideas, pick up techniques etc. I also dabble in digital photography though have little time for it these days. I love to keep fit, I've recently started jogging!! A first for me and I don't go very far (or fast) plus swimming and yoga. Also love cinema and occasionally theatre. Quote
happyanddandy Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I also, when I have time, love jig-saw puzzles Ooh yes I often do a puzzle. I have an 8,000 piece one which took me 3 months!! Quote
JudyB Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I like jigsaws also - we usually have one on the go at Christmas. Quote
angerball Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Oh yeah, I like jigsaw puzzles too! Unfortunately I don't have large enough space to do one, but when hubby and I move into a new (and hopefully bigger) place, I have several jigsaw puzzles that I can't wait to sink my teeth into. The bigger the better, too! Quote
Kell Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I used to go to belly dancing classes, but they got really expensive and I wasn't learning anything new, so I eventually stopped going back. I've not been in 1 1/2 years now, although if a new class started nearby that was a bit cheaper and where I might actually learn something a bit more advanced, I might be tempted back - it's good fun!

Purple Poppy Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Kell said... Ah, Quantum Leap! One of my old favourites. I got very upset at the last ever episode though - I didn't like the thought of Sam never getting home again. Oh yes! Me too. Loved Scott Bazooka too! Quote
Rosie Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 As well as reading I enjoy - walking, researching my family history, writing short stories and poems (haven't done that for a while), visiting museums, blogging and I love taking photos:) Quote
wrathofkublakhan Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 <snip> ....and I love taking photos:)</snip> Pets? Nature? People? I go through phases, sometimes it's textures, sometimes light and shadow, sometimes it's all about color. I jump all around: people, close-up textures and even doctor some photos. Quote
Kell Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Oh yes! Me too. Loved Scott Bazooka too! :lol:Scott Bazooka! LOL! Quote
Rosie Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Pets? Nature? People? Not people, mostly outdoors - gardens, flowers, trees or buildings or parts of them like doorways, windows or roofscapes. I like colours and textures too. Your photos are great I particularly like the textured object and the bowl of peppers:) Quote
JudyB Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Brilliant photos Wrath - I enjoyed looking at them. Quote
Liz Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I enjoy playing different sports with friends and going for walks. I really enjoy art, so I draw and paint quite a lot and have a go at a bit of photography every now and then. I'm interested in History and so I love going to museums and history centres. Art galleries are great to visit, as well. I quite enjoy going to see plays and at the moment I'm trying to learn how to cook, so that has become a bit of a hobby as well. Quote
maclsj Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Its so nice to see so many people who are interested in visiting museums! For years I've managed to keep dating guys with little or no interest in such things but my current one fortunately loves museums In fact one of our first proper dates was a day trip to the British Museum and Museum of London. We go to museums nearly everywhere we go now, we even managed to visit one when flat hunting recently! Quote
LittleLijah Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Have you ever visisted the Pit Rivers Museum in Oxford? It's somewhere I'd love to go to but never seem to get there, I did try once, got lost and ended up coming home again! Quote
maclsj Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 No I haven't visited the Pitt Rivers Museum. Bit far to go from here plus the only person I know in Oxford is an ex boyfriend. Maybe it'll be do-able from where I'm moving to. Any other museum recommendations? I'm definitely going to try and get to the British Museum for the Terracotta Army exhibition (even though they were only allowed about 20 figures). Quote
LittleLijah Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 I'll let you know if it's worth a visit (maybe an overnighter as it's quite a way) as I've arranged to go this Saturday and it has free entry, I was surprised by that! Quote
