Things to learn while in lockdown

I am re-learning pieces of music I could once romp through but now find - due to lack of practice and neglect - that I can barely play.
I have also been inspired by these posts to pick up the crochet shawl I was working on 2 years ago.

I'm trying painting with acrylics, after having the set for about five years I thought this was a good time to use it. So far the results are not good. But it's fun.

Digging up my old work and submitting it here and there - as long as I don't have to pay a reading fee. I don 't mind if there are no prizes, either; as long as I'm not sitting idle. www.facebook.com/pg/ghidlimitejn/posts/?ref=notif @shysal you can even try writing your own poem-a-day!

Hola

Trying to knit PROPERLY . Reading YT videos to do things the tidy way

MamaCaz where do you watch French and Spanish Tv ?

I am learning a poem a day, but not doing them in date order in the book. Today's is 'Two witches discuss good grooming', first line: How do you keep your teeth so green?

I’ve done a sourdough starter- always wanted to

Trying to master British Sign Language so I can really communicate with my profoundly deaf granddaughter. Finding it rather difficult!

Working on using water colours. More complicated than you would imagine, but I try without my regular art class.

Just before all this started, someone told me that they had signed up to a free, online photography course, and it sounded really good from her description.
I wish I could remember what it was called, because it could be a great creative thing to start right now!

After many years of trying, not very successfully, to teach myself Russian, I've decided that there will never be a better time than now to really give it my all. It's now or never!

Like you with Spanish, I am making a lot of use of Duolingo for this, CathTheWise, but there are a lot of errors in the Russian version of it, so I am spending a lot of time cross-checking things with my other resources too.

Good luck with your Spanish. I'm rather afraid that both my Spanish and my French will suffer through my concentrating on Russian, but that gives me an excuse to keep watching more French and Spanish TV than normal too

I'm learning how to be patient, does that count?
