So we are all flat out getting our business set up, running them or being entrepreneurial in some way.. but what do you do to get away from it all? What hobbies do you have? Play any sports, travel, anything in particular?

I have a vege garden and after this season is out, Im looking into backyard hydroponics just for a hobby.
Reading novels and playing my Wii.
My hobbies are reading,listening to music,cooking etc.I have more interest in watching music programs in TV.
Lately my hobby has been house hunting.. looking at houses, different areas etc.. It's great fun.
Other than that I like getting on my bike and riding around town, great way to clear your head, and good exercise also!

Hiya,
I spend a lot of time with the girlfriend; checking out new cafes, bars and restaurants, daytrips, that sort of thing. Hanging out with the boys, playing pool and poker and enjoying a few beers.
I spend as much time as I can doing what's *fun*. Life is too short to waste my time on things that I don't enjoy. Even my work and investing stuff has to be fun, or I'll lose patience and get distracted and find something else to do instead :)
I'm also looking to move house in the next month or so, into a place out the back of the Dandenongs. Just somewhere quiet that I can escape from the world. Me, my girl and my dogs. Peace. That's the only thing that I feel that I might be missing at the moment.
Cheers
James.

One of my hobbies is Martial Arts, I am a 3rd Dan Black belt in Taekwon-do, and I often teach and compete.. its great fun and I have been doing it for about 10 years now.
I have also been doing a bit of yoga to compliment my Taekwon-do, this has been great not only for flexibility but has improved my concentration and focus :)
I also love to travel.. hence why I am in the UK, and love getting out and racing my cars :P

haha, its only used for good.. never evil, well not yet :)
The lines between hobbies and things that might pay off in the future is very blurred.
Renovate for a hobby, but on the IP it is more of a business thing.
Tinker with computers but also fix them for money.
Run a hobby website but can also do those for profit.
Like to do gardening, but the IP also needs landscaping.
Plan A won't pay off for so long that it pretty much counts as a hobby right now.
And of course, we have a baby who tries her best to stop us from doing all of the above. Are babies work, hobby or business? ;)

the aus open has inspired me to take up tennis again.
I'm into craft and stuff but I don't do it regularly, just when the mood strikes. I have heaps of supplies and I make cards when there's a birthday or something. I have an old mirror that I am going to decoupage with Japanese paper. That's my new project.
I also like baking. I find that very therapeutic.
I love clothes, and consider my appearance to be a hobby. I enjoy coming up with new outfits or hairstyles, and getting new cuts and colours in my hair. I'm fairly vain!
My boyfriend and I do a lot of eating. We always go out for meals on the weekend. There's a big variety out there! It's a passion we share.
We go camping fairly often too. We have a troop carrier with a swag in the back so we can go whenever we want. It's hard to have a weekend without any social invitations though. You have to plan ahead. It makes it hard to be spontaneous.

Hmm...
sports, particularly badminton, table tennis and working out with weights.
reading, particularly self-development of recent.
spending time with friends as usual I guess.
Standard sort of stuff?
Cheers,
Johnson.
