What shall I do for 6-12 months sitting on the settee?

[nextdoorneighbours]

I have already decided to learn Spanish, but what else shall I do? All suggestions considered!

Why will you be unoccupied for so long? That will affect the answers you get.

Learn to crochet.

Do a big cross stitch pattern!

Family history

Check with local charities for any admin tasks that could be done from home

I'd sign up to some sort of academic course where I have to dial in to lessons etc. that way you will still have interacting with people and keeping your mind active 😀.

Why are you sitting on the settee for so long?

Chair yoga

Pick a random subject and do every bit of research you could on it, you'll be an expert

I have THOUSANDS of videos and photos of my kids. I’d start editing them into videos for each month/year of their lives. If you can’t video edit it can be very easily picked up using an app like imovie or InShot and you’ll be surprised at what you can do,

Origami

I had a mad idea about making all the Xmas decorations that way.

Get a job wfh?

Coursera course, cross stitch, online surveys, YouGov.

Good idea! I've always meant to make photo books of each year, but I've never found the time (probably would if I came off MN 😁).

Cross stitch, crochet, embroidery, hand sewing, paint by numbers, write a book, do a course, family tree research, learn a language, buy a PlayStation and play some really long involved games 😬

Knit, read - get a kindle, learn a language, coursera.

Oooh yes, go for it!

Nap.

In between all the learning and cross stitching and so on.

my stint was baby related and thankfully not that long. I knit a very nice baby blanket.

Three or four operations each with a month or two recovery period, and chemotherapy and radio therapy

That is something I have not thought of

That would be good, but in my family cant go back any further than the holocaust, I have already tried. Thanks for the suggestion though

Sorry to hear about your illness, OP. Wishing you the best

good suggestion, but I am not sure anyone would be able to rely on me for anything time sensitive, I might be better some stages than others
