What helps you relax?

Welcome to a fabulous Friday afternoon, members! How are you wrapping up the week? I'm hoping to get a good back massage, and maybe spend a bit on some retail therapy.

Whether you’re planning to be out and about, or just staying at home in comfort, here’s to a weekend of heartwarming joy and restorative relaxation! What activities help you relax? We’re always keen to hear your thoughts, so share them here.

Having limited mobility I rarely leave my home, however I love cryptic crosswords, latchhook, knitting and reading. My neighbour kindly checks in on me twice a day.

A casual round of golf, socialising with friends

My hobbies keep me relaxed. I enjoy painting, (Spray art, No Graphiti), Woodworking, Metalwork, crafting and my new hobby Coin collecting. My son (43 yrs old) had been bitten by the coin collecting bug, and you guessed it; its dad doing all of the grunt work finding and searching the coins. I must admit the hobby is interesting with lots of new things to understand and learn when looking at how coin errors occur what to look for and what makes an error or does not make an error. I found the history of coins and notes very interesting. Understanding how and why some countries use images of their historical heroes and not their monarchs or political leaders to embellish their currency. There is always something new to learn. Below is what is known as a flamingo CUD (Coin Under Developed) on a 2001- 5 cent piece I found recently (noodling is the term). This little error apparently Turns 5 cent coin into $45, "so they tell me". Not a bad investment I could be a millionaire if I find enough of these things

Cheers.

My grandson also recently found a 50c piece without the hexagonal edges - worth considerably more than 60c

I saw this exact coin on a news story the other day, was that you?

deni67 · Dec 28, 2024

I use to love going to Facebook and seeing what all of my friends are up to and my family, including my daughter in Perth, so that was a kind of a hobby for me.
Call Facebook what you like but it was a lifeline for me as I can't go outside into the "real" world due to disibilities.
But that's gone out the window now, iv'e been banned completely for 180 days, 6 frigging months for trying to warn people that there was a scammer in their groups, one of those ridiculous romance scams!
Suffice to say I come in here now for my daily gossip session

Facebook can do what they like as it's shown to me for banning me for trying to help out fellow members, and there is no where to turn to for help!
You always get scammers on there, it's just a matter of using common sense, like anywhere these days.
