My new hobby - FWIW

To try to get more people to start thinking of taking up any practical hobby, instead of time wasting on Computers, Lager swilling or watching mind rotting sub-culture soaps, enforced Football and dumbed down reality rubbish on idiots lanterns thumbs down laugh

Great stuff Helga

Seriously - I think *you* could be very creative with a potters wheel if you get the right tutition and your own wgheel and furnace.

That investment could even lead to a small cottage industry for you in a niche market. - As a model maker since I was 6 and having done it professionally too, I still love watching the potters skills *throwing* a pot and creating simple yer stylish shapes from just a lump of slip.

Go for it Gal
Cheers

I'm just about to start an online course to become a certified English teacher, and I am looking out for an Italian language course,not sure if they will be hobbies or life enhancements rolling on the floor laughing

I think yours will definitely be life enhancements.. The English teacher one will help your career whilst the Italian language one should help in your communications with the Italian people when you relocate there. The course I end up enrolling for will just be an hobby for me. It's only 2 hours a week for ten weeks which doesn't seem like a long time but still tricky to fit in timewise. Obviously, not as time consuming as both your courses will be though.. uh oh .. I'm feeling tired just thinking about all the hours you will have to put in laugh

yoga is a way for keeping you healthy

I had to look up what those type of bikes were.. I would definitely fall asleep riding one of those laugh I don't drive so cycle 10 miles a day getting to work and back on my trusty old racing bike. One day about 4 years ago I was riding to work at 5am and fell asleep on it rolling on the floor laughing Luckily I woke up just as I was about to crash into a back of a car rolling on the floor laughing
