I plan to make dancing my hobby. I’ve finally taken the plunge and signed up for an 8 wk Tango course. I plan to add salsa, bachata, and hip hop. I’d also like to get into cycling

I have an amazing bookstore down the street, I go there get coffee, sir in the balcony, read a book and people watch. Also there is an Indie cinema down the street so I can see flicks not in the chain cinemas. I would take a train into Philadelphia, go to the museums and take photos of William Penn and the fountain in Logan Circle. I'd spend a day in Baltimore go to museums and walk around Fells Point, maybe go to Fort McHenry then eat at Gias in Little Italy. I'd spend a day cleaning my apartment and doing laundry then go to happy hour. I'd incorporate my photography wherever I could as that is my hobby

Since separating from my ex...I now love cooking .He refused to eat anything I made and so my interest in cooking was nada .Also ..my kids were at the chicken nugget phase, and so any attempts at anything beyond this, were met with unhappy faces ! Fortunately this has changed ..

Start reading a book in a second language. Keep track of words frequency in a excel file. Find out how many words can you learn in one week...you may be surprised

Design and build kites for children.

Working on my Plex server, raspberry pi builds, or catch up on TV shows

I don't know if you own a house or not but when I get extra time I look around my house to see if something needs updating. Some things like paining some faded paint, picking some new landscape plants. I live in a mobile home so any of these projects are small.Take a one tank trip, catch up on my book reading.

We buy pennies from banks (well not buy, trade dollar for dollar) and sort them and keep the copper (we have over $1,700 in copper pennies, they are worth $2.05 copper value per $1 right now) and make penny tables and stuff. We also find alot of old coins and foreign coins like a 1943 Nazi 5 Reichspfennig coin. That, and bing watch tv shows.

Meditation.

Read, crochet, watch a good movie. Of course, my FAVORITE thing to do in my downtime is mess with my husband. ?

Mechanicing,and making more power with high mpg's is always my goal with cars.

I crochet but that’s probably not necessarily something you want to start if you just have a week. My other hobby is reading.

If you like animals you could see about volunteering at your local shelter.

Whatever you do, enjoy your week without extra work!

Video games, binge watch tv shows and anime... Go and take pictures of nature. Help out the homeless or animals in the shelters. Fish or just hang out at the beach and read.

I'm trying to manage a divorce and help raise 4 kids, two of whom are on various spectrums (spectra?). What is this "down time" you speak of?

I enjoy downtime. I can't understand how some people get bored and having nothing to do. I like to play ukulele, bicycle, hike, read, bowl, cook, and binge watch Netflix.

Playing piano or guitar.

Do some reading on ham radio? Been a ham since 1971, and Love it! My wife tolerates it?

Unfortunately l seem to be doing this. I need to get a life. ?

Here are a couple of things I like to do; both have to do with painting, but not walls.

1. It doesn't cost much to buy a small set of basic water colors - even a kid's set you could get at a dollar store, and a set of brushes. Also one or two pads of water color paper. You can go home and turn on your favorite music and paint to the music! If you get painter's block, open up a magazine or go to images on google for anything you like and enlarge it, even to the point of just painting a corner of a piece of drapery, large size, or try pinterest, but I like doing my own thing. If you like your creations, you can get a can of spray to "set" your work at an art or craft store.
2. you could go to some garage sales or flea markets on the first weekend to see if you can pick up an old wooden chair, stool or bench - or even a doll's chair, sometimes under $5. Go to a Home Depot or Lowes type store - they usually sell samples of paint, sometimes you can get returned paint in pint or quart containers for $2.00 or less. When you get home, you can use your imagination to paint your flea market find into something cool! Or if you get a doll-sized chair, you can decorate it for a special little girl with jewelry or stickers and a coat of lacquer.

You could even ask friends over and have a painting party if you know other people who might like to join you!

Relax with a great partner.

I PS4 game. It can really take up my spare time and keep me out of trouble.

Thats funny. I just commentedin a post about having this weekend off. Ll about wrting on some music ideas that have been languishing.

I just shot my first rifle match of the season, totally unprepared and using a rifle I hadn't fired in three years. The weather was 30°, snowing, and windy. The results were pretty much as expected. It doesn't look like I'll have time to practice for a few weeks either.

So, kayaking and fishing are next on the agenda as soon as the weather improves, and my work schedule gets back to normal.

Hiking and camping are also on the to-do list for summer. It's just am matter of finding the time and motivation for everything.
