Thread for ideas for keeping busy if we get locked down or in isolation.

Other than obvious Netflix binge, and reading what do others think will keep them occupied

I am going to buy paint tomorrow and maybe freshen a room or two. Plenty of books I haven't read. Also need to order a lot of photos to put into albums (at least a years worth). Could also do a bit of the garden. Could make scrapbooks (wedding and dc)

I’ve bought a beginners tapestry kit from Amazon.

We’ve bought in some paint to redecorate a couple of rooms.

And I’m going to get back into playing the Piano with help of my DS and YouTube.

I think you need to consider that potentially your period of isolation might be spent feeling shockingly poorly & trying not to infect your family members. Think of things to keep you occupied whilst you rest in bed. Eldest DS is currently in isolation & is struggling psychologically with having to be separated from everyone else.

Netflix, reading, internet and sleep. Complete privacy, sheer bliss (as long as I'm not ill, only isolating as a precaution).

Tidying, cleaning, painting the house. Sorting out the garden. Lots of books to read. Board games. Baking. Creating recipes from our stock cupboard. Sorting out photos on my iPad. Playing piano.

I have loads of clothes that need to be mended or altered. I would be really satisfied if I got the pile sorted. I might just declutter and upcycle all my clothes.
