So you're stuck in lockdown at home and close to climbing the walls with boredom after watching nearly every series ever released on Netflix. Well, we feel you, which is why we've pulled together some great ideas to inspire you and help you regain a sense of joy in your personal space.

Stay up-to-date with the latest virtual events

The virtual world is becoming more exciting, with new digital experiences being introduced on a daily basis. Try live streaming the latest plays, art exhibitions or concerts to keep you entertained.

Listen to an enthralling crime podcast

With innovations in forensic investigating resulting in many cold cases being re-opened, spend some of your free time listening to a true-crime podcast. There are some compelling crime podcasts available that will have you clinging to the covers well into the early hours of the morning, leaving you with sweaty palms and your heart racing at the slightest sounds outside.

Impress your friends by becoming an amateur mixologist

There are not many rubber arms that won't be twisted by a delicious cocktail, so why not invest in some quality spirits and enhance your mixology skills by watching YouTube videos? You can generally start with some basics, such as white rum, vodka, Cointreau and tequila and combine these with an array of mixes to create some amazing cocktails.

Brush up on your fitness

Not only is fitness vital for your health, but it's also integral for mental and emotional well-being. Whether you use your time in lockdown to start running on a treadmill, lifting weights or doing yoga, find your zen with your preferred form of fitness.

Refresh your culinary skills

So you've been wanting to make fresh pasta or sourdough for ages, but haven't been able to find the time. Make the most of your lockdown at home by refreshing your culinary repertoire. There is a multitude of mouthwatering recipes online that will help you earn heaps of brownie points with loved ones while helping you avoid doing the dishes!
