What do you do when you have some free time?  Me, I usually don't have any free time, but when I do, it usually involves water.

  • Kayaking
  • Paddle board
  • Lounging on a boat
  • Watercolor painting (stretching it)....
  • and, taking photos of the water.

This is actually a very popular photo of the Tetons.  I like to hike here in the summer and ski in the winter.

In the tranquil stretches of my free time, I find solace and connection through the vibrant tapestry of Instagram. As I immerse myself in its digital realms, I embark on a journey of visual discovery and human connection.

I love to read.  And, board games are the Christmas gifts for our family members this year.  Just bought Taco vs Burrito.  Sounds like fun.

When not hurt, I run. Lots of game nights with friends. Been playing more video games recently and cooking almost daily, as I love to cook.

Running sounds good.  I have had 3 foot surgeries so my running days are in my past.  Still miss it, though.

Thanks @Marjorie  for this thread! There are different activities for free time depending on my mood. 

I love to play board games, card games or playing in console  games with family or friends. I also love cooking new dishes. In some days, I love to go for a walk and take photos depending on the weather outside(this is one my activities mostly in summer).

Love to hear from @Marjorie  and others too.

I used to play football - although I should probably call it soccer to avoid confusion - for a very long time. But that very last time when I was on my way to score a goal, thinking there was no one anywhere even close to catching up with me, convinced that I was running so fast towards the goal and still got tackled by 2 guys before I even reached the penalty area ...

Well, I guess I realised that it was time to get rid of those shoes.

During covid I started playing the piano. Some say it is good for coordination and enhancing connections in the brain. Apart from that, I find it very rewarding to see that my two hands are actually capable of doing different things at the same time.

Early this year I also picked up playing tennis again. I signed up for a short training series first and was lucky to get to know a guy who is at a similar level. So we're playing on a weekly basis now, which is great fun!

Great question @Marjorie!

I'm terrible at finding ways to take free time and fill it with something else.  Right now, outside of work, I'm:

  • On the Atlassian Community (a lot)!
  • I'm playing Dungeons & Dragons virtually with the same group of friends since the beginning of the pandemic.
  • I'm also playing video games for charity, specifically I'm participating in Extra Life in support of Sick Kids Hospital.  And, when I'm not streaming my game play, I'm posting on social media to get people to support me through donations or participating in Extra Life Community discord server.

What is this "free time" of which you speak?  This reminds me of recipes where people spread the legends of so-called "leftover wine".

Oh, @Marjorie

It's hard to answer after those pictures! 😁

Living in a city without an ocean and mountains, I do many activities more urban, missing being surrounded by nature.

But usually, I ride my biking indoors; I like to check Atlassian Community, read a book, play my guitar and sing, stay with my hubby watching TV Series, or with my parents on the weekends to drink a coffee, practice my yoga, walk with Benjamin, my brother pet.

However, I miss staying at the beach or near the mountains, breathing more natural and fresh air from nature.

Nevertheless, I believe that we're so privileged, all of us.

So, thank you for this topic. You bring me good feelings of gratitude.

Cheers,

😃🥰🙏

In my free time, I do one of these things:

  • Reading (usually books about space - fictional and non-fictional) 📚🌌
  • Taking a walk (I'm lucky enough to only need two minutes to get to the next park.) 🚶‍♂️🌳
  • Playing online games on my tablet (something like Junes Journey) 🎮🕹
  • Writing fan fictions (Science fiction - Here we are again: IN SPACE!) 📜🚀
