On Saturday evening, I went to see Trainspotting 2. Brilliant film. But this meant that I would be in the cinema for the #socialbloggers chat.
I originally started #socialbloggers with someone else and we used to alternate weeks, but she decided she didn’t want to do it anymore. It has been going for 3 years, so she felt it was time to move on. This meant I’ve been running the chat on my own for the last few months and when I’m busy or at work, I sometimes struggle.
Rather than scheduling the chat ahead of time and have it all automated, I decided to ask on Twitter if anyone would like to host the chat for the evening.
Zara from It’s all Zara came forward and hosted the chat for me.
Here’s the chat:
Q1. What is your favourite hobby?
@itsallzara A1. Volunteering. To me it’s something I’ve fallen in love with and the more people I help the more I want to do #socialbloggers

This is an interesting discussion. I loved reading about all the hobbies bloggers have. I blogged today about the books I read in January-early February. It might be strange, but I rediscovered my joy of reading after taking a reading challenge on my blog last year.
It was fun to read about other people’s hobbies and there’s a good range being discussed here. I would love to incorporate more educational hobbies into my life like learning new languages or skills.
OOh, this was a good chat. I enjoyed reading about hobbies. Mine include reading, writing, walking, flute-playing, card-making, blogging! I WAS doing swing dancing but that seems to have stopped! Hmmm,I need some more…
Ah, sucks that I wasn’t able to participate in this! Will definitely have to catch up next time <3
Always interesting and enjoyable to read. Hobbies for me are sport- swimming, running and tennis.
