I would like to know what hobbies people with dementia have, what they enjoy doing on a daily basis, and what they do enjoy trying, if not succeeeding, to do.
Many of us have hobbies which vary from gardening, painting, photography, walking, watching sport and Singing in Choirs.
As many of us loose the ability to control our hobbies it would be very interesting to see what everyone gets up to, and if there are any limits as far as you are concerned.
I personally used to like wood turning, but that had to stop as it was too dangerous for me to carry on with.
I also like walking and photography, as I have noticed things since my diagnosis, that I had never seen before.
I used to be in a Church choir, but now I struggle to sing the tunes and keep up with the words.
I would love to hear about the hobbies other people cope with when they have this illness, as it always intrigues me when I hear that some like a friend of mine still sings in the Halle Choir and travels to practises every week.
