Hi. I have been doing a few things. I have been trying to learn a new language, There are great YouTube/online resources, I am looking at Japanese, I have been watching YouTube videos on Japanese writing as well.
I have also been drawing which I haven't done since Art at school! Just with pencil.
That aside I have been doing online board games and following some online fitness videos each day for the lockdown period. -
I am part of a local arts and crafts group. We have a shop and I am doing paintings to sell in the shop. (when it opens again). I am also playing games online.

I have been working this week part time as a tutor. And I finally finished my new book last night as well. I tidied up my flat too and painted the spare room this week. Today I made two batches of yummy chocolate chip cookies in the morning and virtually taught my next door neighbor’s fourteen year old child how to do a exam paper full of hard questions on brackets, indices, multiplication, addition and subtraction in addition via Skype this afternoon in addition. It was quite hard. I spent the best part of a hour teaching her.

I`m making masks. Using cotton fabric and cutting a hole in the inner piece and inserting a piece of kitchen paper. Respiratory specialist advice!
Use once and then throw away kitchen paper, wash mask in hot anti bac solution.
Re-use with fresh kitchen towel

Hello @Tammyjane33 Making fabulous food for the freezer.
Chilli Bolognese and Curry all cheap eats.
As always put these on the forum.
More importantly how are you ?
If you struggling health wise know can always talk to me am here. PM if you wish to.
Do a lot of time on my own see no one except delivery drivers and then is sometimes three months seeing no one.
So use puzzles, word games, music and exercise sort of me in my marigolds and apron, wipes at stand by .
House work a go go. Back on the dance floor in my head and those club nights weekenders memories.
Sweeping and keeping clean sterile. Strutting shaking my tail feather and do funky moves.
Please can I ask what are you doing to cope happy to help with ideas anytime.

Can you knit? There's a free to join in Mystery Tea Cosy Knit Along that starts on the 13th of April. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mystery-tea-cosy-knit-along
Every week you are emailed a knitting pattern part for you to work on, and at the end of 5 weeks you will have a stunning tea cosy. But no one knows what the tea cosy looks like - thats why its a mystery.
It's dead social too, because there's a facebook group with likeminded people who have all signed up to join in too. -
