Hobby

I have recently started takin swimming lessons again, I never did learn when I was younger and now my friend and I go every Sunday morning to the local pool, I have to say that it is really enjoyable and certainly helps me to forget how I am feeling for a while.

Paul, also enjoying photography and a Flickr poster, too.

I worried about the photography interest, as last year, I found things less interesting outside... I couldn't get past feeling cold and tired enough to take many outdoors shots and felt soured about my new hobby. My interest was renewed in the Springtime. Of course, my primary interest is in nature photography and that might not be the case for you.

I got interested in bird-watching. Another outdoor hobby I was unlikely to pursue in the winter. So, I put up feeders that I can watch from indoors. I'm hoping those will help me get through the Winter this year.

i prefer doing craftwork indoors, such as painting and cross stitch. its quite relaxing i find.

I joined a choir even though I wasn't sure if I could sing brilliantly. I've learned a lot, really enjoy it and realised that I can actually sing. Apparently everyone can sing but some need more training than others!

I want to learn to play and improve my reading of music now and am thinking of taking up piano lessons.

Mixed church choir but we do get to regularly sing stuff other than hymns which is nice. I really enjoy singing at weddings. I sing Soprano. Our rehearsals are only an hour which is great as they finish quite early. I have been considering joining a larger mixed choir but that entails longer rehearsals which will be difficult as I can take my son along at the moment and still get him to bed in time. My husband often works away from home during the week.

Well, I sing low range.... lower than alto really. If I sing in mixed choir I sing tenor(ette!) I sing 'bass' in the barbershop chorusm, which goes down to C below middle C.

Why would anyone want the melody? Well... I suppose when we get the odd bit it's nice, but singing harmony is GREAT, especially the 'bottom line'!

Well..... I don't get any complaints ... well not about my size! LOL! Like I said the other day, we SADdies don't seem to lose our sense of humour, at least, not on the forum.

There are about 75 members. We come in all shapes and sizes.

Yes, may have to reconsider my visits from the office. :(
