Actually sounds quite appealing * Hetty*.

I am use to isolation, only have a visitor once every three weeks, unable to leave my bungalow.

Definitely keep the mind active, I do family trees, crosswords
and other puzzles, have contact by telephone and online and
Gransnet is top of my list.

I intend to do what I should have done years ago, sort out my house and get rid of clutter. I am a natural hoarder- I have no excuse now.

Plenty of phone calls, Skype, Gransnet, uplifting radio music rather than the news, then activities, hobbies, gardening, spring cleaning, ordering in favourite foods and treats, reading good books, afternoon naps etc. - think of it as a little luxury break, but at home!

Planning is the key, keeping the mind active. Puzzles, contact with friends online, stocking up with books or kindle etc

What advice or tips would you have dealing with being isolated for two weeks? For you or a relative who may be on their own?
