Reviving interests and hobbies.

**Maggy J** · 02-07-2004, 15:59

I've been getting back into my art interests this week.

As usual with me it's become a bit of an obsession.

I was enjoying these today and decided that not only were they good enough to eat they good enough to sketch.

Anyone else revived any old hobbies or interests lately and have you any pictures to show us?

Incog.

Well I go to calligraphy classes at the moment - but I used to do patchwork and quilting. I have more than enough stuff to do a couple of quilts - the idea was to make two and give them to my daughters to pass on through the family - well the stuff is still in the loft after I don't know how many years!

However I am now getting around to designing one for me as a prototype - then who knows?

I fly-fish for trout!

I play golf and football. Enjoy listening to music, reading and playing online games.

Sounds like a CV !

I've got an ambition to be a sitcom writer and have a great idea, just not sure where to start !

Wouldn't it be better to swap the sub and printer locations? That Sub won't help the tracking on the decks.

I like calligraphy too but I've had to give up on it because I can't grip the pen well enough to complete any work properly.Drawing and sketching don't seem to require the same sort of grip luckily.

Now see, that's what I was told, but there's around 5g's on the cartridges and it never skips even with my harsh back cueing. It's only there temporarily though as I've ordered a new desk

Chances are it'll go at the bottom (in the middle) of that.

I used to love writing, and started a novel a couple of times, but got nowhere ... teenager, lack of focus you see.

I'd like to get down to it seriously and get something published though. I had a crack when I was on a train from Edinburgh to Glasgow recently, and concocted a short story based on my observations during the journey, which was an interesting exercise. I think I'll look for an opportunity to do it again.

I also like hill walking, which I have not had much opportunity to do living in Hertfordshire! Thankfully I am shortly off back to Scotland and all being well will have Ben Lomond in my back garden before the end of the year. Should help me get fit too.
