This time can get pretty damn boring so post some (safe social distanced) ideas to keep everyone occupied. Cheers

Practice doing nothing. When you get that right, move on to the next thing. There's your Zen moment for the day.

I made mustard, but it was too chalky. It still smelled and tasted good, but the texture was off-putting. Be careful.

Well a mind is a terrible thing to waste so I'll leave out one idea.

If you got the internet/TV however there's really no shortage of things to learn/occupy your time. Books too. Video games. Online classes.

The more productive the better, naturally. These days people text, call, and practically live on social media anyhow. And get just about everything delivered to the door.

Nothing wrong with starting a garden. Learning to play a new instrument? Trying your luck in painting? I have to say music is always good. Lesser known pieces. I love ocean sounds, waves, storms, etc. myself.

I was tempted to try to grow something in theme with this Night sky petunia however nothing really comes to mind to match it. Petunias would not normally be my thing but if I could find the right things to match it could be good.

Perhaps pom pom chrysanthemums, brain celosia and lambs ear however that doesn't seem right and whilst it would be texturally interesting presupposing they would grow well together I'm fairly sure it would stink.
