Given that the world is in the middle of a pandemic right now, all of the fun things to do that would normally fill up a summer are postponed or cancelled – and this will not do! You need to be able to unwind this summer as much as the children do when they’re home from school. There are only so many ways you can enjoy the four walls of your home, but when you have our suggestions for activities to do this summer, you’re going to be able to combat the boredom and really enjoy yourself for a change!

You’re finally free from the shackles of studying or work and in any usual summer you would have planned a vacation or two. Perhaps a spa weekend away with all of your friends. 2020 threw a curveball that us regular folk didn’t see coming. It sucks that your holiday is cancelled and the local activities are shut because of COVID-19. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t do some things that will bring you joy. So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at the things that you can do while you’re in lockdown at home this year.

Start The Garden

How often have you looked outside and known that you need to get started planting flowers or hedging the bushes? You know that you want a lush lawn but you’ve never had the time to get it done. Gardening is one of the best hobbies around and you can spend time in the great outdoors really enjoying the sunshine for a change when you garden. So, get what you need delivered from the online gardening stores and pass the time with a green thumb of your own.

Join A Gaming Community

Are you one of those people who buy consoles and games and never get round to playing? You’re not alone. When you work full time and have a family, the idea of sitting around playing games is laughable – there just isn’t time for that! So, this is your time now to break out the bus games and police chase games and join an online gaming community. You can chat, play and have fun together – lockdown be damned!

Have A Spa Day

Yes, we know, your spa weekend was cancelled. Does that mean that you have to give you your spa day? Absolutely not. Instead, you can enjoy a spa day of your own with a bubble bath, a pedicure and manicure and a hair mask. Pampering doesn’t have to be done at a weekend retreat – though we all know how wonderful those are.

Marvel Marathon, Anyone?

If you haven’t managed to watch all of the Marvel film series in the correct order, now is the time. You can purchase Disney+ with a month for free on their trial. Sit and watch all of the films, and if you happen to cancel the trial before you start paying for it, then that’s the way the cookie crumbles!
