How would you keep occupied in self isolation?

EllanVannin you're making me feel rather guilty

My mother was always washing paintwork, I can hear her offering to do it for me

Blinko I read that the virus didn’t like to live over 26 degrees
I can’t stand my own company for more than a day so it would drive me nuts to have weeks incarcerated your home ‘prison’ sounds awful Ginny I bet you’re counting the hours aren’t you

Sewing, crafting, reading, baking (if I get bored) and Spring cleaning if I'm desperate. We are both in the high risk category and age group so we are drastically restricting our travelling for the foreseeable future to try to avoid the virus. It shouldn't be a big problem for us and will hopefully keep us well.

Firstly, I’d deal with the boxes & boxes of photographs which I have been promising to do for the last 20+ years. Then I’d finish emptying removal boxes from 2 years ago. I’d spring clean the house, sort out my over filled wardrobes and drawers. I’d email all the friends I’ve lost contact with over the years. I’d exercise with my pristine weights, paint/draw until I run out of paper, finish a huge patchwork quilt which I recently found in my late aunt’s house. Then I’d clean up the garden and tidy the garage. Heavens I’m going to be so busy. ... full of good intentions ?

I used to be a medical guinea pig so a minimum of two weeks isolation was part of the contract and I loved it.

They provided me with a typewriter (no computer in the late 70's) and paper, plenty of books and the ability to make tea, coffee and toast in my suite. That's all I needed.

They were the most blissful holidays I have ever taken - and I got paid for them.

Hope you're right, BlueBelle

I could find that yoga DVD I keep meaning to do - can't get to RL yoga anyway

As long as I could get books on my Kindle (once I’d run out of proper books) I’d be fine.
Catch up on all the TV progs - masses - which we’ve recorded and never got around to watching.
Piano practice. Maybe get one or two pieces properly polished, or at least tidied up a bit.
Knitting.
Tidying the garden.
I would like to think I’d also buzz around doing useful things like clearing out drawers and cupboards, and finally getting to the end of the pile of ironing, but somehow I doubt it.

Just got Hilary Mantel’s new book. That should keep me going. DH is going to make a lecture for it as it is so large.

I fear I’ll have finished The Mirror and the Light before the plague reaches me. I have plenty else to read and my I Pad so it won’t be much different from normal.
I should certainly still take my dog out, there’s nobody around before 6am and later in the day I could ring a bell and shout, “Unclean! Unclean!” as we squelch through the waterlogged fields.
