Hobbies! - Page 2

Apart from the usual I'm trying to get into making music. I've installed Reason but really haven't gotten very far with it! I would love to get some extra kit and make some fun electronic music but I never seem to have the time!

My other main hobby is climbing. I've been going about a year now and I love it. I love the feeling of nailing a move that used to be so hard and all of a sudden it becomes so simple. I go twice a week for about two hours at a time and I always look forward to it!

My main one is my horse I guess. I didn't have any around for about 2 years (owned them but didn't actually have anything to do with them) but it left a huge hole in my life. I've bought the little one back and I now take care of him again and I absolutely love it, it's my haven. I also love that I've had him since the day he was born and everything he 'is' is because I've taught him. Even the mundane stuff like mucking out etc has a very positive effect on me. Because he's a baby I can't do a lot with him so I can spend as little or as much time as I like at the yard, so it has no impact on my time with the girls. They are loving having a yard to go to again and they come with me a lot.

My other hobby is reading. I adore books, this month I needed some new clothes so allocated myself a bit of money, went into town, mooched around the clothes shops a bit and blew the lot in Waterstones.

I also adore music, my new hobby is live music and have some good gigs planned this year.

Things I'd like to do if I had more time are falconry, I've always wanted to do this and almost did when I gave up the horses. Also wall climbing and I'd love a pole at home for fitness.

Pole Dancing is my new hobby. No matter how many times I hurt myself I keep going back for more! I'm loving it and getting a pole for my birthday

I love reading too. I can read for hours and totally get lost in the pages.

I used to go Airsofting a lot too but haven't been for 2 years now as I used to work every weekend and after falling out with my brother I doubt I'll get any of my stuff back

I'm just getting into photography and can't wait till it's nicer weather and I can take my camera down the park.

Spending time with animals is another one. I love finding out about their personalities and bonding with them. I also make a point in learning about animals; anatomy, personality traits, how to intro them to each other. Anything I can find out really. This is probably why I'm loving my uni course so much (animal biology)!

I mostly love Thai Boxing and lifting weights

Everyday stuff - Reading. Either at lunch time or bedtime I read.

Seasonal stuff - Fishing and cycling. I'm a fair weather fishermen, can't be arsed with sitting by a lake in the cold anymore but when summer arrives you'll find me most Sunday evenings down in Wales with the sun on my back and bottle of Budweiser or other light beer in my hand.

Infrquent/aspiring stuff - Tweaking with my car. Cleaning it, polishing it, changing little things, learning bit by bit what stuff does. Also learning to play the piano so that'll hopefully become a regular hobby soon too.

Everyday stuff, reading, playing geetar and such like.

Depending on free time, playing games, perl scripting, whatever geekish thing is fascinating me.

I think most of you will have gathered that motorsport is my big hobby! I own a sprint car with Phil and compete in the Toyota Sprint Series, so this takes up most of our time tweaking the car and competing, as well as doing trackdays for practicing.

I have a season pass for Snetterton circuit which is just down the road, and spend a lot of time watching the racing there.

My camera now goes everywhere with me and I'm trying to improve my photography skills.

I try and be artistic and every so often make cards and jewellery.

Haven't really got back into it since I did my leg in but I also do poi and staff spinning.

Reading and ratties (and rat shows) are the only things I can think of to count as hobbies.
