W: Andy, what hobby would you take up if you had more time?
M: I think I’d take up two different hobbies—an indoor hobby and an outdoor hobby.
W: Really? Why?
M: An outdoor hobby, like motor-racing, for a bit of fresh air and excitement; and an indoor hobby, like radio-making for example, for quiet concentration. What about you?
W: I like indoor hobbies best. As you know, I like making decorations, toys and so on, but I’m also quite fond of knitting and I’ve made quite a lot of sweaters and the like for the family.
M: Yes, I’ve seen some of the things you’ve made. They’re very fashionable. How long have you been doing it?
W: I started years ago when I was still at school.
M: Did you spend all your free time on your hobbies?
W: Well no. As a working mother there are many other matters I’ve got to attend to, but I do spend quite a lot of time on my hobbies.
M: What about money? Do your hobbies cost you a lot of money?
W: No, once you’ve bought the basic tools most hobbies are comparatively cheap.
M: By the way, how did you learn to do all these handy things? Did you ever attend a special course?
W: I did once, but most of it I’ve picked up from books. There are dozens of books on hobbies in the bookshops.
M: Ah well. Perhaps I should take up my coin collection again.
W: Yes, why not? You might even become an authority on old coins, Andy!
