#Question for the #Fediverse: what new hobby, physical or spiritual practice, or subject did you begin in #April or shortly after you began self-isolating?
Do you still practice that activity?
What have you learned?
Would most of us in the #fediverse enjoy or benefit from what you're doing if we tried it ourselves?

There should be a resource for online groups. This group is a group I used to attend in person years ago, but stopped when I moved away. One of the members invited me online since they moved online due to covid.

I've been doing things in small bites like learning how to use chopsticks properly, new knot ties, more language, finally successful with bread - and by now the freezer is half full of pre-cooked meals. Still with the mushroom growing, planning the garden, messing with s/w, taking decent walks.
My little brain needs to be busy all the time and self-isolation is very close to 'situation normal' for me - I just don't have the rhythm of going to work or mass to tell the days apart.

I've been watching every 1960's beach movie I can find.

Yeah. I know. I'm not aiming very high.

and the age old question, Frankie Avalon, Fabian, or Tommy Kirk?

Not really a new hobby, but at the beginning of the lockdown (here at the beginning of march) I decided it was time to learn copperplate (as taught by a school calligraphy manual from the early 1900s). I had already used that manual (starting decades ago) to learn some styles based on lettering nibs, but I've been wanting to try flexible nibs for a while. I'm also still working (from home, as before) and keep practicing my other crafting hobbies.

I've done just drills for a while, then a week of pause and I'm now starting to write the first letters (iunmvcea: it's fun to find words and now phrases that only use those letters :) )

I've found that the basic drills are quite relaxing, but I'm not sure it is exactly *useful* (and the relaxation bit probably depends a lot on the person: I think that some people can benefit from it, but not everybody).
