Hobby Auditor

FiftyIn50

What hobbies have you had in the past that you no longer have? What happened?
(This is my FiftyIn50 daily blogging prompt).

I wonder what the definition of a hobby is?  I try everything that vaguely piques my interest.  Some stick with me, many are never attempted again -- but at least I tried.

Thinking of long term activities....

Golf.  As a teenager I was fanatical. I played every Saturday and Sunday.  I enjoyed it.  I was middle-of-the road ok at it.  A golf-handicap score of 17. After a few years I discovered new things and gave it up.  Never revisited it.

I was not interested in any other sport.  I did enjoy cross-country running at School, but after leaving the educational noose I stopped.  Shame really.

I played the Cornet for a while.  Attempted the guitar too.

Reflecting on this makes me realise that I don't have a hobby that has followed me around for a lifetime.  That doesn't bother me, as I am dynamic and enjoy trying new things.

I enjoy drinking wine in the garden.  That's a hobby, right?

What about you?  Tell me about your hobbies,  failed or lifetime.
