Oof, there's a long list and I wish I had time to do them all properly ... my advice would be to find out what's happening close to you that includes a social element and go try that. That's how I got into archery and I'm really enjoying it because when I go to the club there's always some friendly chatty people there :-)

I have nine planted aquariums in my living room.

I'm also into gaming, when I have a few minutes.

I'm full-time carer to a 73-year-old man and two autistic offspring who are in their 20s. So besides that and the aquariums, I'm lucky I have time to breathe.

My new hobby is watching Asian drama series over the internet. The cliches and conventions are new to me and I like how the series are longer so they can do more than is typical in shorter UK and European ones. They also tend to cover a much broader range of the emotional spectrum and with greater depth. A lot of drama addicts tend to go racing on to the next one but when I stumble into one which puts me in a better head space, I'll let it linger. So from that, my second current hobby is learning the words (in Mandarin, Korean or Thai) to some of the theme songs. My different approach leaves me feeling like a bit of an outsider in the fan circles but it's what's working best for me.

This has been a gey dreich not-summer for gardening here so that feels like more of a albatross than a hobby right now. I listen to opera, traditional musics from around the world and try to read a fair bit too, but just getting through the day takes up so much of my energy it doesn't happen as much as I'd like. I used to do a lot more things and be a lot more interesting. I miss that.

Good luck with all of yours :)

My main hobbies are baking, reading, and video games. I love looking up recipes and combining parts of that recipe and techniques I learned from other places. I enjoy baking because it is so scientific and I can experiment and see what turns out well.

For books, well I have ADHD and have a hard time focusing. so I listen to audiobooks when I drive or clean my apartment. I'm a big fantasy nerd and am very into Brandon Sanderson specifically.

Other than that I tend to cycle through artistic hobbies and have accumulated quite a lot of art supplies. l

Gardening / container gardening. I like being able to wake up, go water some plants, and over time they get bigger and bigger. And then eat them. :) I've been having a bit of a rough time since we moved - I've not figured out the best place to put the plants yet. Even still I've gotten some tomatoes, a bunch of lettuce, and the start of two catnip bushes for the local cats. We also converted one of our flower beds into a wildflower garden and that's really nice.

My hobby is collecting hobbies. If I listed all of the ones I pick up and put down I’d be here all day, so here are the most consistent ones:

• Gundam model kits
• Postcrossing and snail mail swapping
• Crochet
• Learning Japanese (for a combination of pop culture appreciation and keeping my brain sharp)

• doodling (it's both creative and a kind of meditation)

• reading (physical books, usually before going to sleep)

• playing bass (6 strings is too many)

• TTRPG (preferably always in person)
