If just for 2 adult players I like Hive, Tatsu or Duke.

To play with kids I like Dobble, 5 Second Rule, Articulate, Ticket to Ride First Steps and Carcassonne.

Card games are good too - we play Go Fish and Switch.

Most of the day it looks like I will now be home schooling my son. He struggles a bit with maths so hoping I can really bring him on with one to one interaction

On the adult front - Lots of cleaning and dirty sex😁. Lots of reading, finding and watching weird and wonderful documentaries on tv. Disappearing down you tube rabbit holes.

Not spending money! Rationing toilet role. Drinking my beer stash.

If only.

I work from home anyway, and I have to cook for 5 family members every day-. At any one time I am trying to do several things at once- download stuff, prepare work materials, cook a large meal, hang laundry, have bank/council on speaker phone as I am on hold trying to brown onions while cats telling me they need fed because one has just puked in the hallway after just being fed and is now hungry again, and DD needs picked up from the railway station in 15 minutes, waiting from a call back on the landline from the GP regarding my mother's medication, and delivery guy with 6 boxes at the door needing a signature............a small snapshot of my day.

Excellent, thanks iknow.
I’m currently keeping entertained with painting by numbers. It’s surprisingly absorbing. I’d recommend it but my husband tries to get himself one and Amazon have sold out.

DIY - Wilko's is considered essential

Home spa - hair, facials and general grooming

Exercise - there are a number of people doing exercise classes on Facebook and Instagram - London Fitness Guy, Smethwick Swimming Centre and Portway Lifestyle Centre all do free classes and there are a few who do paid for classes including yoga, mindfullness and meditation.
