For me it's houseplants. I've always liked them and am a bit of a gardener but I got quite interested and now propagate and give away to friends.

I wish I'd taken the chance to really get in to running or some other outdoor activity but sadly didn't.

Learning Spanish. Started in April 2020 with Duolingo and since then have added own study, online live lessons with Babbel and, when funds allow, individual online tutoring with a teacher. I'm getting pretty decent, could actually chat with people on holiday in Spain in the Spring 😁

Have you tried

I started learning Italian on Duolingo and then, when a bit more confident went to conversation exchange. I have met a wonderful conversation partner who I chat to every week. We have now also visited each other for holidays - it has been the most wonderful thing to come out of the horror of Covid

Running and cross stitch. The running has changed my life, I’m so glad I started now. I already did yoga but quite sporadically, lockdown taught me that I easily have time to do a practice every day before work.

Cycling and eating chocolate.

This definitely 👍 and also not going out and avoiding other people. I absolutely love not going out, it’s one of my favourite hobbies.

Not going out is another hobby of mine too!

Duolingo, wild swimming, audiobooks, and daily puzzles.

I didn't have any time off work during Covid, so am only now getting my garden together. I am yet to start sourdough, but am hoping to get there soon.
