Break time. What do you do for fun?

My grandma was scary and we had to be quiet all the time.

as a child the attraction to someone older was as removed as the Planets are from the Earth

@Pearl Seems like there has been a revival in Victoriana; I thought this documentary was interesting; seems like it has come full circle in some ways, FYI:

I like sudoku and I crochet. I wish I could be out gardening. Seems like all of the fun things for me are chores these days. Someday I would like to just get up and go to McDonalds in the morning for one of those nice breakfast platters and a coffee and then go to some garden center somewhere and look at all of the plants. Probably not for a long time though.

What do you do?

I study physics, watch Harry Potter and go for walks, gardening. Cheers

I'm into Lord Of The Rings The Adventure Card Game on PS4. Very well-designed. It just amazes me with how well thought out the game is.

Anyway, I play through entire campaigns using a single deck at the highest level, and try complete all five missions without losing a character. If I lose a hero, I have to start over.

Excellent game. Never gets boring.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being attracted to older folk.....I'm asking what the attraction is

You make it sound like I had a romance with my grandparents or something.

@FluffyYellowDuck Sounds like you would really enjoy the Renaissance re-enactment scene with all the intricate embroidery.

Oh I've liked looking at some of the pictures posted in this forum. So interesting. I'm really drawn to clothing from 1880s-1920s, so somewhere in the Civil War and WWI periods.

Actually, I'll post it here if anyone is interested. These are the clothes that if I had the time I would be recreating for our time period for the sake of modesty and fashion - if I was a wealthy person lol. Since I don't wear pants and only long skirts/dresses, it's difficult to find quality clothes that meet the standard without looking shabby. There are skirts in this video I would like to make. (Specifically the beige one at 45 seconds.)

Home comfort and peace of mind, for me personally. Calmer times.

Even if my 4'11 gran did carry a gun on her hip and had alarms blasting everywhere. Called her Annie Oakley.

Well what more do you want lol they were my grandparents. I loved them and they loved me. (Plus two of my grandparents spoiled me with chocolate chip cookies. XD)

@FluffyYellowDuck Have you heard also of the term the Renaissance Biker look? It's inspired by an old fashioned look, fluffy collars, etc., which some might find appealing:

They call it:
