I think this topic may have been started a while back but since we've had an influx of new members I ask again. What's your bag when it comes to passing an hour or so, what lets you unwind. One of my hobbies is sketching and drawing and only for fun. Last week I took around 20 painting and sketches to our local Animal Sanctuary charity shop as they only take up space but its the challenge I like.

The one below is of a local landmark "Scrabo Tower" any guesses to where the one in progress is?

They look excellent Davy, bit of talent in our ranks.

Personally at quiet times love doing puzzles, Suzuki, logic problems, etc.
Occasionally I'll write poems but only when either really happy or sad in life do I get the urge.

Me and my better half always have a jigsaw on the go.

Cheers guys, There are plenty that end up being wiped off and painted over but its relaxing. ANS I'm leased with the clouds myself I nearly get them but they always seamed to look like cottom wool balls this is the first I've got near to how I want them.

I use Photobucket but there's other image hosting site but I have problems using them. Photobucket seems slow but its easy to use.

Logon to Photobucket http://s32.photobucket.com/ and sign up it's free.

then its easy to upload photos videos etc (though can feel slow) just make sure you know where on your PC the photos are.

Once in your "library" in Photobucket click on the image you want to add the the forum and you will see a list of options to the right, like below

Click on the direct option (it will turn yellow and say copied)

then just go to your post and use the Img option when posting and paste the link into it.

Hope this helps

'Seriously??' This isn't a Friends episode, the one where everyone English starts sentences with Seriously? or Honestly? or anything else crappy American :D

Rigger, it didn't work last time I tried, SERIOUSLY :D

My status has nothing to do with it, mate - you'd press my buttons if I were merely a guest ;)
