Being locked up at home because of the coronavirus in France isn't the happiest thing in the world...

But fortunately, there are ways to entertain yourself !

What are some of the ways you've found to cheat boredom?

Hoping you're safe and sound.

Cheating boredom. Yes 😂
Thank goodness for the Internet and friends!
Even my friends who are only a few houses away, everything is done with Skype or messaging.
I have been; learning a new guitar song, going overboard doing Duolingo French lessons, taking photos in and around my house, super cleaning and organizing things I’ve been putting off for years.

So, not too bad, but definitely a weird time.

Be safe and well to you too, Loric

My daughter lives in Paris and she works in IT so life continues as normal but working from home. Two more sons stay at home but they probably spend all their time on laptops. I also have a son in the Alps who lost his job during but I understand he is still working doing something else. For my ex.....I really do not care.
