Yeah, a strange sort of question, but I was wondering what all you good people like to do in your spare time (that’s if you’ve got any!!!).
My hubby is into photography, video editting, playing the guitar and reading lots on property investing.
Me unfortunately do not have many hobbies other than reading on this forum and going to the gym. I am not a gym junkie or anything coz I only joined last week!! Hee hee. The hobbies I would love to get back into is a whole heap of artie fartie things like mosaicing, painting and having my husband teach me how to make things out of wood.
So, the balls in your court. What do you do with your spare time?
Cheers,
Steph.Here for a good time not a long time, just do it!.

I totally forgot about travel… I love travelling and experiencing the different cultures. EVen here in Uk is a totally different culture from home in Oz. THey value so many different things compared to us…
Oh well… No place like home eh?
Here for a good time not a long time, just do it!.
Well..
Computer Games, Drawing (ie pencil sketching.), Ten Pin Bowling, I have kids so thats most of the time, computer programming (“Unix ksh, perl, C, Html, VB, etc..”)….
But Im hoping to get more free time, as my property investing is established and i can happly announce to the boss the “Im retiring”, I keep dreaming that !.
[]Regards,
Arty

*impressed*
wow, not just one but two Ron Sexsmith fans here!!! I’m sooo used to ‘Ron who???’—- hey you have to check out Shane Nicholson too. Local S/s who I hold in very high regard.
And how do we feel about Elliott Smith? My faaaa—-ve. But I also really love pop. As in the charts. Yes really. I know with Elliott and ROn it’s usually one or the other (pop *or* ‘good music’) but I really do like pop. from pink to teenage dirtbag to delta to lifehouse to beyonce. If I didn’t, what I do would drive me nuts, so lucky really.
I live and breathe music even when I don’t think that I do. My hobbies….aside from that…let’s see….property investing….hehe…
That’s been my newest most all consuming ‘hobby’ as it’s involved a year of research, seminars, and weekends away renovating, not to mention the buying process
Does Reiki count as a hobby? cause i’m a reiki practitioner, though not for $$$ just for love.
I also grow wheatgrass. (gahd what an urban hippy i am sounding like.) It looks so pretty and makes really disgusting tasting juice that makes you feel a million bucks. I got onto it in the US before you could get it here.
I also love travel. if I don’t go overseas at least twice a year it’s unusual.
spending time with my boys – swedish love of life and his son. I’ve been getting quite into digital photography, especially messing with photos after the fact in photoshop. fun.i am a girl so I looooooove shopping and fashion and stuff, i have this thing for the belgian designers…
I have of course seen the error of my spendthrift ways since getting into Prop Inv so my wardrobe is not what it once was. But I still *look*
heheHobbies…. ummmmm….
* Collecting memorabilia and sports things
* Reading
* Going to movies, socialising
* Watching LIVE sports at the venue
* Internet & Computing
* Keeping fit and sport and gym
* Keeping up appearances as a **Metrosexual**Cool another mad Music lover.
I always surprise myself with what not listening to music does to me.
I get so bloody moody.
I love rock bands like Zep, Deep Purple, and Clapton. Todays music I love most of the pop stuff considering the audience I play to love everything form Jazz to Reggae, to Disco to Classics to top 40. So I keep busy with the usual Radio stuff but I love listen to Smooth Grooves and Sweet Voices. I love Brian McKnight, Maxwell, Boys II Men, Jurassic 5, R Kelly (Music Only not social behaviour).
I could go on.
I love this forum it feels so Homely.
Cheers everyone
