Have you got a hobby?

Assuming you have any, what do you do in your spare time?

I used to knit and crochet, don't have enough time to do much these days. I do a lot of gardening. It's quite a small garden but it takes a lot of upkeep and I am passionate about plants, shrubs etc. As an offshoot (no pun intended) of that, I grow pips and seeds from fruits etc. to see what comes up. I currently have a mango tree, 2 lychees, 2 pomegranates, an avocado and a date palm all thriving on the window sill. I have 2 oak trees from acorns (I'm bonsai-ing them) and a 4" apple tree from a pip in the garden.

My father was a great one for hobbies, from building model aircraft (some of them enormous) when I was quite small to the massive train set he landscaped, in his garage, in the last years of his life. My husband, who was a computer hardware/software engineer, carried it over into his leisure time and rebuilt and reconfigured ancient PCs - we had a room full of the things!. He also collected old and unusual coins.

Any hobbies out there? Do you do anything unusual? (Keep it clean, please)
