My activities during coronavirus lockdown.

It was a period in which you step aside and analyze your life a little bit, things are not always as you wanted them to be. Without the time spent on transportation and office breaks, I had more time to focus on me. So, besides work, I started with reorganizing my closet and other home activities. The main activity definitely was doing groceries and clean the house. It was sad on the 1st of May, because usually, I was at the sea, eating shells and fish, this time instead I was at home eating some homemade crispy wings and watching some movies.

1st week I started to improve my cooking skills by trying new things: sweet bread and colored eggs on Easter grilled salmon with salad, pastries stuff, like a pie with apple or pie with salty cheese, grilled octopus, shrimps with wine, and garlic.

2nd week I thought that it would be a better idea to try doing some makeup. So I bought professional pencils and tried new things using eye shadow, eyeliner, blush, mascara, and lipstick.

I tried to keep myself fit, so I did some exercises at home or run in the park, and after that when they close it around the park. When the park was still open it was a joy to walk through blooming trees and of course I could not resist taking some pictures.

In my 3rd week I wanted to try something new, so I started to write my 1st article on Medium: “How did I spend my summer at the sea being a broke freelancer” and it seems like I am still doing that (the writing).
