very very bored tonight so ventured into the chit chat page and found a great topic i thought u might like on here. wot hobbies do u have apart form your whippets? wot things do u like? wot r your interests?

apart from walking/feeding/rubbing down, training and racing the dogs, i also like taking photos of them wud love to b as good as jaqs and vicky and kenny but doubt il ever ger anywhere near that. ive also just bought myself a new camcorder, yup so i can now tape the dog racing. i love writing which u have prob guessed from my whippet news reports lol but other than doggy things i do have a social life i go out with friends about once a month. im also a telly addict love reality tv and im devastated big brother has ended. im also a soap addict and watch most of them. and i like to delve into the meaning of dreams and tarot card and all things mystical. so wot about the rest of u? oh and i work part time.

Don't have many hobbies now!! (w00t)

I used to show dogs till I was about 18 and when my old manchester terrier died I didn't have another dog for about ten years. In that time I did all kinds, cooking, gardening, decorating, kept fish, embroidered (don't you dare laugh Harper!!), reading, watched soaps and was a proper little housewife.

Then I got a whippet..... went racing with Vicky... came home to my OH watching some mundane programme about french polishing and thought, feck this!! (w00t)

Rest is history but I'm happy which is all that matters! (even if the garden's like a jungle and I've got about 30 books I've still not got round to reading) :teehee:

Oh I take photos but seeing as though most of them are of whippets, I'd presume that doesn't count!!! :lol:
 
i like my veggie garden :thumbsup: takes my mind ;) ;) off other things ;) if you know what i mean ;) ;)

my hobby 's are my dogs and racing don't have much time for out else but enjoy what I do , work full time :sweating: run my own business so have to put the hours in to account for the lonnnnggg weekends away racing which usually run from Wed to Wed ( ermm there is a weekend in there) :teehee:
 
Embroidery (w00t) :lol:

Apart from work, acting referee to Robyn & Ruby and attempting to quieten a parrot with torrets its pretty much dogs, dogs, dogs in this house. Love gardening but its all in vain as the hounds are partial to anything that remotely looks like it could flower.
 
I dont race anymore so occassionally come up to watch the big opens with The Wilson's which i love doing still, Tig still keeps me on my toes as well which is great, and now we kinda have Milo I love taking them out on nice scenic walks or down to the beach, and love taking pics of them.

I keep tropical fish with my dad and he breeds them, random hobby i know :blink: I love photography, I play lots of golf very proud of myself for getting onto the Hampshire County Elite squad for this year, and I also play netball in a local league. Used to sing loads but think i leave that for when i am in the shower these days (w00t) - Love going to music festivals when i can afford it too.

Oh yeah and as a geek I make cards and scrapbooks of my adventures through the year.

(w00t) :eek: I'm so glad someone else has a mad parrot! Apart from driving me round the bend, she also likes to tell the "girls" off, using their names, tells them to go outside, get to bed, lie down etc.,

No wonder they're hyper! When I'm not too close to a total nervous breakdown and I've finished any paperwork relating to the Old Hall, I'm either doing sewing repairs for whoever and I knit.

At the moment I have about 5 or 6 sets of racing collars to do for our newer members. Oh! and I very often have a puppy come to the house for doggy-daycare for 2 or 3 days a week!

Who said all Whippet racers are mad? :wub:
