I'd usually be playing netball in local league once a week, going to local pub quiz on Wednesday evenings with my girlfriends and spending weekends away walking in the Lake District or the Cheviots.

In an attempt to stave off the boredom and potential of "going stir crazy" I have rediscovered the joys of YouTube and am embracing (with the help of 19 year old daughter) technology.

I am watching youtube videos of people climbing mountains and doing national trails (my particular favourite is Abbie Barnes) and I am watching old Superleague and ANZ netball matches. I have also had a couple of WhatsApp and Zoom group get togethers where wine was drank and good conversation was enjoyed.

What have the rest of you been doing to keep engaged with your "normal" lifestyle?

If anyone interested in painting and drawing Mrs.WN has come across an excellent App, called Procreation. Yep, you did read it right.

It's kept her quiet for hours so I can recommend it.😁 She bought a new IPad Air and thinks it's the best £10 she's spent in ages. If you have android then try Medibang, which is free.
