My children are getting me through it, although some days they drive me nuts! we've been spending a lot of time in the garden, baking, going for walks etc. I miss my family and friends, especially my 2 older children and it makes me sad that they can't meet their new brother, but I know it's for the best.  

Lasagne you are beautiful❤ 

You aren't rambling 😊 I've taken up X stitch. practicing knitting. i also do a sewing class that is now online due to Covid. I live alone. Try to go out for a 1-2 mile walk few times a week. Met a friend. Kept distance but walked with her which was great!! 

Samravino maybe not rambling but a bit intrusive i do like to hear other peoples opionins makes the world go round, i am glad you are getting exercise in, we all have to remember it ia about our mental health to. 

myself and my youngest have been doing all sorts, YouTube has brilliant dance fit videos, zumba(she mostly laughs at my attempt),TaiChi, meditation, lots of arts&crafts (Pinterest app is gr8) like using boxes&printing/gluing animal pictures to make collage to brighten up room,painting shells&rocks,using glass jars&painting or gluing shapes to outside&using as candle holders,knitting,picking a country then trying to cook their national dish,learning silly words and songs in Spanish(Duolingo app&Google translate),planting cress&mint in old ice cream tubs on window sill,playing cards&dominoes...anything &everything to keep the fun and enjoy our time inside.We r in a flat with no garden and it's not everyday we can get our exercise outside so we get the music on, sing hearty and take it from there! I hope this helps and you have a fun day today ❤️ 

Bootylicious it is so nice to hear your reply, i thank you so much, i can't imagine anyone laughing at you, me yes , which cards do you play? I am sorry you are in a flat i am lucky i have a beautiful garden but i still like to go out for a walk L 

Chestnut,we play snap, pairs, happy families and go fish and I play solitaire at the moment lol I get the music on, sometimes pour a glass of wine and zone out the world for clock patience, Dutch patience, spider solitaire, blackjack..keeps the brain ticking in a relaxed healthy way ❤️ 

Booty if i may call you this i have no problem with a glass of wine, whats your type of music? I bet your brain is very healthy , that is one thing i have i am grateful for, the body is another thing but i willing to bet you have both? Iii 

I'm writing a novel. My exercise is within the garden. I paint with watercolours or pastels, read, cook, research anything and everything! and anything else that takes my fancy :). Sometimes I just watch the world go by, it is so relaxing.  

Gypsy i am fortnate i live by the coast unlike others i can't complain, l Look forward to our walk❤ 

That wasn't you that I saw on the news the other night, sunbathing on the beach, lol 😊 

At first I cleaned ...lots of crazy organizing and getting rid of things we don’t need any more..we have a rehab house about 2 miles away and I have made friends with a couple of them. They love receiving books puzzles and clothes... NOW, I sit and watch movies do a bunch of exercises and go for a walk every other day .....but a lot of reading and have started to bake bread. simple easy breads I have spent lots of time in the garden. Lots of lettuce and tomatoes enough to share with a neighbor .... have to say I always make time for a movie or two.....  

I'm a key worker so I'm not in complete lockdown but on my days off I have to find ways to entertain my one year old so that keeps me busy there normally lots off messy play and time spent in the garden and where lucky to live near a river so we can go in walks and see the ducks  

This is when you can search your mind for that hobby. something you have always wanted to do but couldn't. Find it because this is what helps you to become resilient.  

Painting the sky from my window, which sounds more melancholic than I’d intended but it’s kept me sane! A bit of relaxing yoga and meditation Is also great for restlessness I find 🙂 

After nearly 38000 people dying, we should just be glad to be alive. Soon pollution will return, animals will hide in their habitats and families may keep in touch once a year!! I for one am not trying to get through it...I’m thoroughly enjoying it 

I've been working like crazy, but I'm happy to have a good job. Hope you're staying well and happy! 

Well... I do my nails 😅 Just kidding. On top of nail addiction I love reading and sketching on black and white land scapes since drawing is one of my passions too. Have you read The Martian By Andy weir? It's funnier than the movie! Also if you like something deeper you may like Perfume: the history of a murderer by Patrick Suskind (one of my favs). Confess I didn't have much patience for prejudice and pride 😬But hey Chest, if you need someone to chit- chat it's always my pleasure to talk to u 💕😊 

I spent so much time with the book that I even inverted the title LOL 

Sabrina i bet you are a very good artist which goes with the rest of your package. Reading i am deifinitely not into Jane Austin, i more into 1984(George Orwell),Animal Farm(George Orwell),The Iron Heel(Jack London), Brave New World(Aldous Huxley) that type of Book. Well as for you nails should we go there ? Do you want to get me into trouble?😘
