Good topic
Nothing changed much for me yet as can't go out on my own
Waiting for family to take me sofa shopping but they had a death in family so that all takes priority
When restaurants open will take my son out shopping and food
Think lots of us are watching line of duty only 1 episode left have to find something else after -
what channel is that? Is it available online? I've heard only good things about it. Are there many episodes
What type of restaurant will you go to? That's something to look forward to
Sorry to hear about the death in the family. It will be nice to see your family and get a new sofa, I've been eying one up myself!
I understand what it's like to not be able to get out I'm the same but its nice when the sun shines through the windows! -
Line of duty on bbc1 this is 4th series you can watch on catch up about 7 episodes per series
Any restaurant would be a treat after all this time
I have to block out the sun due to my vision issues so closed curtains and blinds and dark glasses for outside -
Line of duty is on series six now

I’ve been spending time reading and I’ve just moved home too so that’s filled a lot of my time.I’ve a few projects on the go at the moment, I’m doing some studying & im drafting a book.

@MarkN88

what are you studying

@Ross_Scope
are they free to use? Can you listen on any device? Have you read anything interesting, Ive just discovered dictation software for my studies its brilliant read my textbooks out loud -
@Georgiana_Scope just some online content on advanced skills within IT like Excel etc.Unfortunately the book is something I don’t want to comment on yet, just something I have toyed with for years and finally decided to start drafting. It will take a while and it’s not necessarily something I intend to try and get published, it’s just something I’m doing for myself right now.

@janer1967 @lisathomas50

I can access a library of audiobooks for free through the RNIB because of my sight loss yeah, it's a super resource. You can indeed listen on any device, this month I've finished How to Avoid a Climate Disaster by Bill Gates and Freddie Mercury, His Life in His Own Words. Both really interesting books.Georgiana_Scope said:@Ross_Scope

sounds great, enjoy and let us know what you decide to listen to next ! Do you find you get through books a lot faster -
It certainly helps that they are in audiobook format @Georgiana_Scope, yes. Plus you can toggle the speed at which it is read which is nice.

I am getting back into The Bodycoach TV work outs. I feel exhausted in a good way afterwards. I am also getting a bit toned too. Bonus! Now if I can just stop eating junk food afterwards....
I am also volunteering at a children's group (Covid precautions are in place). It's a nice thing to do. -
Decluttering for me.
meaning to do my room it’s been a Hoarders paradise I’m for over a year now.
But I shall get there one day at a day. -
@MrsRFW
well done you sounds fantastic. I really miss exercise (mobility problems) Its great that you are getting toned! Keep it up ! I am on a diet myself! The volunteering sounds great what kind of thing are you involved in? Best of luck with it -
@Ross_Scope
sounds fantastic I find reading tiring so this would help. Are you familiar with claroread software I think its called or it might be dragon, I get the two mixed up, it reads text out loud I am getting it for university -
@Allymcd84
