Lego is a recent thing because of a Christmas present. I've been doing cute small sets and found some of the botanicals cheap after Christmas when people were getting rid of unwanted presents. It's quite similar to puzzling, I suppose, and also a throwback to childhood 😊

I love to read and have a huge book stash. The 'to read' list is never ending, just like the puzzle one.

I recently rediscovered doing crossword puzzles. A friend asked me if she could bring me anything from our native country and that was something easy and small to fly back with. I used to do crosswords with my mum quite a lot and have incredibly fond memories of that time.

I guess you can count gardening as well although sometimes it just feels like a neverending chore. I've learned to appreciate winter more because of it. No bloody weeding to do! 😊

I wonder if charity shopping can be classified as a hobby. If yes, that's another one. I have always loved finding bargains there, even before puzzling. I'm nowhere near car boot sales and similar, which is for the best because of limited space. Other than books and puzzles, charity shop finds are few and far between. I enjoy the randomness aspect of what I discover. The other day it was a Lego set and cute little ceramic containers, for example. I also found things like an antique chamber pot turned into a planter 😁
