What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

Here’s the thing. I slightly struggle with leisure time. My parents spent their leisure time doing practical things. My Dad relaxed by doing DIY to exacting standards. My mum made clothes and cooked to similar standards and knitted while watching T.V or listening to the Radio. So leisure leisure did not exist in my childhood. My parents were both the epitome of the Silent Generation.

I, of course, am a Boomer. Apart from Competitiveness I am Classic Boomer. I am mildly competitive but not driven by it as many boomers are. Unless someone is a horrible human in which case I am like a sneaky assassin. Covert competitiveness is my super power, but not a leisure pursuit so irrelevant to this blog.

My leisure time activities are not as completely practical as my parents. But not far off. All my leisure time activities are goal orientated except perhaps one. Coffee, cake and people watching, even with that there is a level of disappointment if any of the three components fail to deliver. Maybe I should attempt something utterly futile to increase leisure quota, life may never be the same again.
