Wtf you doing to keep you amused?

Can’t even do much gardening.

I’ve got nothing ‘project’ to keep me amused.

I’m even considering doing some work ffs...... !

Anyone got any inspirational ideas...?

I started a thread on here at the start of lockdown for online courses/e learning- to try and draw inspiration. Didn’t get many replies! Anyway, in the end I signed up to a drawing course on Udemy. It’s really good and I’m enjoying it- learning to draw from beginning to advance level. Course was €10 (I’m in Austria) and will scratch a life long itch I’ve had to draw a family portrait from scratch.

Perhaps you can look at something similar?

I’ve also downloaded an app to learn Hungarian!

That looks interesting - which course did you choose?

Good idea I like it.

I’m totally talentless. frown

Same here, so I'm going to be very fit, and the house is going to be very tidy!

The ultimate drawing course, beginners to advance.

The first lesson, the course leader/teacher shows you how to draw an eye- you follow and do the same.

Then he shows you contours/values (lines and shading to you and me) and the course progresses to show to draw in perspective and views (as far as I am right now), by the end of it, I want to be able to draw a pencil/graphite drawing from a photo. Let’s see. But for 10euros, it sure as hell beats sitting on my phone looking at crap on Facebook!

Beginners to advance! First few lessons, as I wrote above- monkey see, monkey do. Then practice!

Not now that Premium is free, you can watch all the extended editions and not have to watch the adverts. Apparently.

Yes, if there isn't already a Reader's Car thread, then go for it.

Was going to take a load of time off and do stuff with the kids - but pared that down to only an extra 2 days, otherwise there's the risk of having all my holiday left to take in the 2nd half of the year!

Looking forward to it, frankly we're swamped in work (and when I say "in work" I mean, my dining room table).

I've got a stripped bedroom that needs some filling / sanding / painting.

A Garage that needs making water-tight.

The joys of moving house 4 months ago, although I do wonder now if I might have paid a bit too much...

It's my Wife's Birthday Sat and our Anniversary Sunday so I'm going to dismantle my 'temporary' workstation (it'll be 4 weeks Monday) and make us a nice meal now the supermarkets are now fully stocked. She's a nurse and near exhausted, but thanks to a bit of a quirk she's got a 4 day weekend too, so I'll wait on her a bit.

Go for a long cycle alone, I know enough quiet spaces I can easily manage a 2m gap, in fact I can manage a mile or so with a bit of luck.

I've been though the 7 stages now and arrived an acceptance, I'm (almost) over mourning what I can't do, and looking forward to the things I can.
