I've always wanted to learn violin. I played the Clarinet in high school instead.

Several years ago I won a piano in a raffle; last year I decided to learn to play it to accompany the kids at school. It's incredible fun and maybe it will postpone senility!

knitting

trying to get plants to survive in containers on the balcony

This reminds me how my hobbies have changed at different times every few years.


Current Hobbies
Reading --primarily non-fiction: travelogues, social issues, history, food history/practices
Blogging-- A few months ago who would have thought I ever say this. But for me, it actually marries my lifelong love of writing, photography and composition (putting the whole article together with the pics). I would not say journal-writing because I actually dislike journal-writing because my version is dead dull, repetitive.

Blogging has to be thematic for me. Otherwise, it doesn't inspire my creative juices to write. Latest entry in Cycle Write blog covers a hobby that is practiced by several folks here in TE! (but I don't do that hobby).

Guilt trip hobbies-- exercised for a few yrs., temporarily abandoned:
painting --oil, acrylic: landscape, some abstract mixed media
sewing-- we already talked about this elsewhere.

O how well I understand that "hobby" right now. With a "new" 2yr old BC mix in the house it feels more like a full time job sometimes. Quit cycling for about 5months. Now I'm at the point where I can work with her and cycle, and we just started agility, which should be fun when she gets over the other dogs in the class with her!
