But, I also love other things.
Some things, you don't really do as an 'activity' but just as a way to spend cash. So my buying Barbies isn't the same as buying models or reading books, or role gaming.
I'm trying to revive my love of model trains. Ok, not revive the love of them, trying to revive being able to play with them. It's looking good so far. Moved the 4 foot high 12 inch deep bookcases into the back room. I have 7 of the things. In a room that offers me a 10-foot by 7-foot space. The idea being, run the train in an oval with the bookcases as a support. Not that making a base would be hard, but why make something if you don't need to eh.
Out of the blue, I got a great offer for some President's Choice train sets. If you have not seen them, they are pretty good. I already have one. Poof, instant collection. The train layout though is a secondary function of the real purpose for the layout as a whole. I want to build a hyper-real-looking town.
So I have numerous hobbies. I like to cross-stitch, and I like woodworking. One is easier to do in the living room than the other


Given a choice, I'd rather spend ALL of my spare time surrounded by lumber and the smell of sawdust. I'm a cabinetmaker originally. More than anything else. I'd like to have my hobby table where I made my models, out there in the woodshop. I'd probably sit out there and play my wargames when not making something. My shop would be my 'place'. Where I played my music loud (like I once used to do).
But life is change (don't I know it). I rarely get to hear the sound of my tools now. I read romance novels more than I write them. I build models because it's easy to do so. Don't always get to paint them. But I love to assemble them. I role game with my teddy bears these days. They don't argue over the rules and don't fudge their dice rolls. It's refreshing

So when not wargaming, what is your relaxing time filled with?
