What would you do to entertain yourself..

If you had broken your ankle and need to elevate it for two weeks.

I’m bored silly and it’s only day four.

I’m sleeping on the sofa as I’m unable to get upstairs to bed without help.

I have tv but there is only so much tv and Amazon prime that I can watch without my brain switching off.

Have cats and dogs for company so cuddling is covered.

Can’t get comfortable enough to colour or do felting and I’m spending too much time stressing about total income loss so need a distraction.

Look at city lit, you could do an online course in that time!

Xbox.

Ancestry

Read (what I should be doing now )

I would take a look at this: apps.apple.com/gb/app/masterclass-learn-new-skills/id1273867416 if you have an Apple device, just stumbled over it looking for something else, looks interesting.

Learn/improve a language with an app.

Play games - if it were me I’d redo both Monument Valleys, all the Room games, and treat myself to a new Big Fish hidden object game.

Listen to podcasts and knit, if you can do that and get comfy (I’d also do cross stitch, but even if that’s your thing it doesn’t sound like you’d be comfortable enough).

I would rewatch the entire 5 series of line of duty with my special LOD notebook to see if I missed any vital clues for season 6

Okay, MasterClass is £££. FutureLearn is good, I learned all about forensic DNA a while back

I'd sort out the box of photos I've been meaning to look at for years!

Future Learn or MOOCs or ted talks?

I became very good at GTA San Andreas when I broke my ankle.

Pm me, I'm on day 13, I still have to elevate another 8 days at least.
Have you not tried going up and down on your bum?
I got a limbo so I can shower and have a bath.
Netflix, online shopping, getting personal admin sorted, sorting paperwork and old clothes, make up etc.

Some great ideas there, unfortunately my grey matter is numb from pain meds at the moment so anything that involves using it is out of the question, I can’t even string a sentence together at the moment.

My hands are my best bet I think.

I’ve been wanting to learn to knit for ages so maybe this is the right time to learn, my DD recieved a learn to knit kit for Christmas last yr that she’s shown no interest in so I may teach myself using that then I’ll be better positioned to teach her should she wish to learn. I’ll ask her when she gets in.

Other than that I’ll resort to eating whatever crap I can reach, thankfully not much and sleeping.

I’ve got A Discovery of Witches recorded that I’ve not had a chance to watch so may attempt that tonight.

Play mind numbing games on the iPad.
Read books I've read before.
Netflix. Lots of Netflix.
