    Card playing groups you could join. Think it's free but you might need to buy a coffee or something.

    Hot air balloon taxidermy. Who doesn't enjoy having dead stuffed animals dangling above them on ropes from a nominal height.

    I wonder if googling can be classed as a hobby?

    Chess

    Great game. And if it is too hard for you then start off with draughts.
    Only trouble is finding someone at the same level who wants to play.
    True that! I started playing regularly a few months ago with a mate. Took me 2 months to beat him and now I'm competitive with him. Chess.com is good but I get paddled a lot. Chess online feels different and I miss a lot of simple ****.

    Genealogy. Hours and hours of hunting down long gone ancestors, both from the comfort of your own home on the Internet, and field trips to various places eg archives and libraries. It becomes incredibly addictive!

    Another hobby of mine is jigsaws. I find it very relaxing.

    Add in the pyrography and it's a deal.

    I am probably the worst person to ask given I am currently trying to have _less_ hobbies following something of a spectacular crash and break down from sucking a little too much marrow out of life.

    Not so much burning the candle at both ends so much as chopping it up - sticking wicks in the revealed ends - and burning those too. Then throwing all the burning bits into a box and napalming the feckor for effect.

    So now I find myself wondering what areas of my life to compromise on or stop. Martial arts and martial arts forms (BJJ and Capoeira mostly) - self sufficiency (farming - keeping animals - producing own things rather than buying - hunting) - teaching (meditation and programming) - Cooking - DIY Projects, some extreme and mad - relaxation (running, cycling, walking or running the hound, swimming, meditation) - and social (monthly house parties) - and so forth are all examples of what is on the list I find myself wanting to scale back on.

    No point doing it in half measures though!

    Never quite sure who said this first but it might still be true

    "One should try everything once except sodomy and morris dancing"
