Talking Hobby - have you taken one up recently?

So, after feeling a bit bored at not having a hobby (asides from the usual gym / reading / walking) which involves me getting out the house I decided Id give rollerblading a try. No idea why I chose it, I just think it looks pretty fun (although there is potential to look like a complete loser ). So im off to buy some roller-skates after work

Anyone else taken up a hobby recently? (no matter how unusual or boring it sounds).

Maria

Lesson #1 - Rollerblades =/= Rollerskates

But cool anyway, used to rollerblade a lot when I was younger, prepare to lose a bit of skin if you practice on blacktop

Was at the Wireless festival at Hyde Park this weekend and was amazed by the shear amount of people on rollerblades/skates. Thought skating was long gone.
Great hobby though and way more fun than jogging.

Reckon it would be a bit extreme to go rollerblading in full bike kit? Although it would be rather hilarious to see peoples faces
