    I like driving and I like collecting watches.

    Which paper do you like doing the crosswords from?

    I used to do the Guardian crossword online every day for a good few years. I don’t necessarily like (or dislike) the paper, I just thought their crosswords were good. They have a great online crossword where you can check your answers and even cheat and reveal the answer if you get stuck which I may have done on occasion.

    Hi @SueHeath :) Thanks for sharing some of your hobbies with us!

    I enjoy doing online solitaire and sudoku puzzles too. I use the Microsoft solitaire game on my laptop, and have an app on my phone, too. I prefer doing sudoku on paper, but have used apps for that in the past as well. Have you ever tried killer sudoku? I got into that for a while. 

    We have a few fellow green-fingered members on the community, so hopefully you'll be able to connect with them! Here are a few discussions around gardening that you might be interested in:

    @SueHeath haha :):) 

    Yes the Guardian is quite tricky sometimes, but that’s why the cheat button comes in handy :D

    We have 3 reactions on the community @SueHeath: insightful, like, and awesome. They should appear underneath each person's comment, and you can click/tap on them to use them. Does that make sense?

    One of my enduring hobbies is joke writing, don’t laugh. 🤨

    ive tried a few out on this forum actually but they are a tough crowd (difficult to get a like.)

    Hi 👋, I have few hobbies as well. My favourite are : reading and painting. I used to do salt dough Angeles but stop for now. I also search on Netflix for movies on a particular topics. I come across good movies which are not highly advertised but the content is great. Coming out of pandemic slowly pleas watch “Stuck together “. This movie is supper funny. I also get bird feeder and placed in communal green area in front of block. I observe birds when washing dishes. More over I write poems and publish them on FB / Instagram. Recently I started write more post on Instagram and write a little photo book of hidden places in London ( having winter brake due to cold weather) and I enjoy phone  photography as well. I always do something as my motto this days is no time to waste. My biggest dream is travelling and looking forward for summer time to do more walking, hiking . From sport I love cycling and very curious to try water sports one day . Hope you will have a good day.

    Hi, @leeCal, jock's books were very popular in my country at the time I was teenager. We also listen a lot to tapes with jokes.  You put the tape into tape recorder and listen to all the jocks by stand up comedians.  These days all the shows are stollen by tik tok.
