What does everyone do for fun?

Hey guys, just wondering what everyone does for fun? I read detective thrillers, study animal behaviour, I'm involved in advocacy and I love driving. Looking forward to hearing from everyone

I also love driving. It is my main hobby. Before the "lockdown" I would go out for a drive once a day if possible. Under normal circumstances I get through about a tank of fuel a week so it is an expensive hobby but it is something I like doing. I also have driven, and been driven, on the track, too, and that was really enjoyable, but again expensive so I can't do it often. I am into advanced driving and often watch videos and read about advanced driving techniques and try to put them into practise on the road. What car do you drive?
I am also into good food and drink but trying to cut down on those, especially alcoholic drinks. I do still have a dram or two a day though in the evening and make it last a good hour, maybe two. That is kind of a hobby, to me.
Also, I am studying for an A level at the moment as I had to drop out of school and missed out on my qualifications. I'm enjoying doing that.
Finally, posting on forums like this one is something I enjoy doing. I post on a few different forums in addition to this one.
I enjoy doing a few things too which I have tried to keep going whilst in lock-down. I love doing arts & crafts and make cards for Christmas, birthdays, etc. I'm not very good, but I do put my own "take" on them and find it really therapeutic. I also enjoy knitting and usually go to a local knitting group, but obviously that isn't running at the moment. So try to keep that up at home too when I can. I love going out into my garden and enjoy pottering about there, especially when the weather is good like we are having at times just now. Before lock-down I was going to a weekly Tai Chi class which I was enjoying as I find it helps me with my pain, so being trying to practice that at home too. Apart from that, I also enjoy coming on here and chatting to people and helping if I can as it is a wonderful Community of people! I enjoy reading, mainly classic novels or just a good book with a nice story to it, I love cooking (again not that good, but do enjoy trying to do it) and I am a bit of a TV addict at times too and love comedies and good dramas!
I think part of it is that online you can read what someone has written and type your reply, then read it back before pressing send and edit it if it doesn't seem quite right. In real life you are expected to reply immediately and you have one chance to say what you want and it's much harder to backtrack if you get it wrong!
its something i hope to work on in the future, but i have an online presence and thats fine with me, i have many cyber friends, and a few close friends in real life
I love reading too. I am a voracious reader and always have been. I read adult books and magazine articles mainly. I still love to read a book in bed. Does anyone else like to do the same thing? I like to read grown up books but adult magazine articles will do instead if I am in a hurry to catch a train or board a plane. You can learn so much by reading I have found.
As it is Sunday, I have read the Bible today. We had a reading lesson today that basically revolved around the story of Daniel and the lions den. Halfway the lesson I asked some questions.
I even love reading cookbooks too.
