I finally got a mixer and I am learning how to perfect making macarons at home! It's so tricky aah! Aside from that I'm slowly learning more about Japanese food.
What new things are you learning and doing?

I'm currently going to work daily, but I taught myself how to make jam. It's been a fun experience using frozen fruits and being being able to control the sweetness/tartness of the jams. My boyfriend has also started to make homemade ice cream.
I am sewing my first skirt, first time with a pattern.
For the first time also, I'm doing sports at home: my pilates teacher makes videos he publishes on youtube. This helps prevent backache due to sitting all day long (between other health discomforts).
And I apply for a new job (luckily, there a sooo many offers in my city).
I guess I can do this thanks to working at home: I'm gaining 2 hours of transport a day, and I have more energy for these small things.

I made several masks and also learned to cut hair for my husband

I am also suffering from backache due to sitting long days at the computer at home. My doctor prescribed kinesis therapy but due to the rising covid-19 cases in Belgium, the practice must be closed as we are on partial lockdown. Do you think you could share the YouTube channel of your Pilates lessons? I would really like to try yoga & pilates to ease my pain. Thanks.
With pleasure.
The videos are in French; I can read you live in Belgium, perhaps you're from the French-speaking part of the country ?

Thanks! Unfortunately, I speak Dutch but not French. I will check out the videos, maybe I could simply follow the “moves”? Is it really important to understand the instructions in French?With pleasure.

Yes, you can, even if the instructions are helpful. The key is to breathe slowly (in with your nose, out with your mouth), do the movements slowly and hold your stomach in.
I’m learning multiple languages through Duolingo, like French, Welsh, Italian, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic.
How do you keep them all straight? I have been learning Japanese on and off. Sort of lost my motivation with it and just about everything.I’m learning multiple languages through Duolingo, like French, Welsh, Italian, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic.
