Making the best of things this autumn?

With cases of covid19 rising, new restrictions coming in, local lockdowns increasing I think many of us are realising that this isn't going to be over any time soon and that the coming winter and festive season will be especially tough.

I know that many are very upset and that this thread won't be of much comfort to lots of people who are really struggling but I am looking for ideas on how to make the best of the next 6 months or so given where we are?

A couple of things I am doing is overhauling my diet with a view to losing a little weight hopefully for good rather than my usual pre-christmas dash to slim down for christmas.

The lack of commute means I have more time for proper routines and I've been getting to bed earlier and reading a lot more.

Also I have a home use skin laser that works but does make my face very red. As I won't be doing any socialising for the forseeable future now is the perfect time to use it.

Also doing some online courses to learn some new skills for my work which I've been meaning to do for ages.

I'm going to really miss all the usual autumn celebrations we have here but am determined to make the best of it with lots of walks, nice food and hyggi.

Anyone else got any ideas to add?

People who don't have big families with which to spend Christmas, won't feel so much like odd bods this year when everyone's talking about their wonderful Christmas 😀

Making homemade lentil soup, served with chunky bread.

Slow cooker dinners, casseroles and stews and warming things.

A nice candle to light in the evenings.

Mulled cider, or hot chocolate with squirty cream.

Stock up on crafty things for the kids to do on wet weekends.
