Seems its time we start a new thread to get to convo ball rolling again. So I figured we could start with an easy one.
So besides a swinging interest I'm curious as to what other hobbies you guys have to carve out your free time with.
I'll start with mine which is Scuba diving. Personally I love some time down under and exploring our oceans. One of my favourite dives was in Chuuk lagoon diving the San Francisco Maru wreck at 55m. Best part was standing behind the gun on stern and imaging the crew operating this massive gun in war and the sounds of orders being yelled across the deck in the heat of battle.
well besides sex, then i should say work, work and more work
I'm an ex cook(chef) so I cook and make /decorate cakes.
Mrs has vegie garden, had our first spinach out of it today. Kids help in it. Mr hmmmm reading almost anything
I'm a part time classical musician - violin.

yacking

I snorkel whenever I overcome my laziness. Want to get my scuba tickets, but I'm never able to save up money to do it, why is there always a damn hole to fill????
Think I should start spearfishing. Although we don't have that much pelagic fish close to shore here in the cape, you make due with what you have. Anybody maybe have some advice on the subject.
Spear fishing isn't that hard IMO. My only issue is when scuba divers take up spear fishing as I don't think that is fair, free diving is better. That though brings up skin diving techniques to prevent shallow water black out and also you need to be fairly fit to hold your breath. Still, brave to go swimming in Cape Town in that cold water.
That cold cape water keeps you young and fit! At least that's the bullshit I tell myself.
I agree that spearing should be done on your own steam. If you're not good enough to do it without cheating, rather take up playing dominoes
Mr Nawty is an avid fan of Nikola Tesla and enjoys perfecting his reproduction of the Tesla Coil (the largest privately owned one in SA). He also loves entertaining everyone with his fire poi when the mood strikes....
On his "to do in the near future" list: he wants to learn how to scuba dive; get back into flying gliders and into skydiving again!
I enjoy cooking, horse riding and studying (subjects of interest to me range from Macro Economics to Commerical Law to the Esoteric etc) ....
On my "to do in the near future" list: get back to playing classical piano and guitar again; learning how to scuba dive and gonna try skydiving with Mr Nawty as my Jump Master!
We both love socializing, dancing, music, traveling (both nationally and internationally), fine dining, movies, theatre, playing 8ball pool, Texas holdem poker, darts and board games like trivial pursuit.
We are active and dedicated hedonists constantly seeking the next pleasurable experience/hobby.... :twisted:
My hobbies and interests vary quite al lot. I LOVE cricket. I play club cricket as well as provincial indoor cricket. I do gardening and really take pride in it. I enjoy cooking and even baking. (being single you have to). I enjoy watching crime series as well as sci-fi. I do fishing, fresh water and deep sea. I ride horses and do cross country and dressage. I love taking my children for walks when I can. 2 huskies and a boerbull.
I am a bit of an adrenaline freak and go bungy jumping and white water rafting. I would still love to go skydiving. Not tandem jumping. I love socialising and entertaining.
I play a bit of piano and play the trumpet. I used to be in the cadets orchestra. I love singing and karaoke. Singstar rocks and my family doesn't want to play it with me. Brain teazer games are fun like Buzz.
On more serious note I love reading and not just fiction. If I hear of something I don't know I used to spend hours reading up on it in the encyclopaedia, these days of course goolge makes it so much easier!
