Jigsaw puzzles and stargazing are a couple of our favourite winter activities – what are yours?

This year unfortunately its watching TV with the dog. I’m not a great TV watcher usually but with no local activities going on, and my home has been reorganised so many times this year its all that’s left

Our local volunteers do outdoor work so we can comply with covid rules

Jigsaw puzzles are great, never thought I would say that! Since the start of lockdown 1 I have been doing jigsaws. I have been doing them on a homemade jigsaw puzzle mat in the corner of my living room. In the next week or so I am planning to put up my Christmas tree, which goes in that corner. Now do I move the jigsaw mat or put the tree somewhere else?
Gardening in the winter is also fun. I enjoy raking the leaves and trimming the bushes ready for spring 🙂

Dancing!
I am delighted to say that we have two new “rest less” Zoom dance groups all ready to begin classes in January, on Wednesday afternoons and Friday evenings. We have already met on Zoom, so have made new friends from all over the UK, and are looking forward to our new “rest less” ventures. Something fun and new for the new year, something fun and new to look forward to every week, and a fantastic way to improve and maintain fitness levels.
Not just for the duration of Covid-19 restrictions; for as long as we wish to dance together. Why not?
😊

Why not indeed Kay! This is a great idea: dancing “uses and strengthens your emotions, cognitive skills, physical abilities and social connections – all of which are vital skills for daily life. Not only is it sky high on the fun factor, it’s really good for your health!”
Thank you so much for organising that!

A long walk every day regardless of weather. I am lucky to have the Hednesford hills on my doorstep.
Covid19 and knee issues equally put a stop to skiing.
Reading, TV, crafts, jigsaw puzzles of beaches and Art Deco Miami Beach which then get glued and mounted for my walls. -
Started c2 5K recently when the gyms were closed. Love exercising, long walks in nature, reading and navel gazing 😀
-
Sorry Adeline I do not understand c2 5 K or navel gazing.
Do you watch, aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, patrol boats or submarines? -
Did C2-5K September-December and now run several times a week, often 4-6k and sometimes up to 11k. It has become something I need to do! It’s a really fantastic app that I would heartily recommend!

I do pretty much what I do in the summer, just with a jumper and maybe a coat!
-
Would you care to hazard a guess Adeline? 🙄
The outdoors is definitely my happy place! Ideally on or by the water, but I’ll make do with a field, a forest or a mountain. And if you can chuck in a castle!!! 😁

You’ve lost your horse so you have to sail into the sunset. Stunning view! A stretch of water somewhere in England?

More than happy to share bite sized morsels of whatever I’ve got Adeline! 🐥

I’ve always been a do-er
Not much into sitting & watching TV or surfing the Internet all day.
I love diy.
I’m making a bird table
I find feeding & watching wild birds strangely therapeutic.
Try it.
Its doesn’t cost very much to get going & gives endless hours of entertainment.
Go to any £ shop & buy fat balls, peanuts & black Niger seeds.
Go to Quality Save to buy cheapest bird feeders.
When filled hang from a tree or whatever but closish to a window so you can watch in your house without disturbing the birds.
Works for me.
Let me know how you get on or if I can br of any help? -
Sitting by my open coal fire sipping whisky but you can’t do that all the time!
Trying to make electronic music and uploading it to the internet.
I have half a dozen projects on the go but have had them on the go for months and haven’t uploaded any of them.
Can’t seem to get inspired.
As predicted it’s turning out to be a long cold winter.
