All good life skills
Put the little blighters to work around the house while we put our feet up with a cuppa and a Netflix box set! Maybe this whole lockdown thing may not be so bad after all...

Fully agree. Making a cup of tea is number one on the homeschooling list!Surferfish wrote:Like it!doodles wrote:Teach them to cook, do the laundry and iron. My ds is going to paint his bedroom.

Re: Things to do whilst on ‘lockdown’
DD already knows how to cook, and do the washing. She will be perfecting both.
Now she can also drive, she may also get sent out on errands.

Re: Things to do whilst on ‘lockdown’
I'm sure they are. I guess there is a theoretical risk from the tennis balls but they could always wear a glove on the non racquet hand. Our tennis club is intending to continue with social (distance) tennis with no hand shaking etc. All matches are cancelled.Surferfish wrote:What about activities like playing a game of tennis or going for a bike ride with friends? Would they be allowed as they don't involve any close proximity to anyone?
Mind you, if we go into total lockdown, that will change, which would be a shame.

Re: Things to do whilst on ‘lockdown’
Learning to drive is also on ds's list.
I'm hoping to expand his culinary repertoire beyond brownies, spaghetti bol and curry. He can iron but the inner workings of the washing machine are as yet unknown to him.......not for much longer though!

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad !

Please don't socialise with friends. The greater distance we all keep from each other the greater chance we have of slowing this down and saving lives.scary mum wrote:I'm sure they are.
