4 Tips to Make the Most of Your Evenings During the Lockdown

Staying at home was refreshing during the first couple of weeks: finally, a chance to catch up with cleaning tasks, maintenance, and emails. But after over a month, it might be starting to get a little repetitive. Undoubtedly, we are all immensely grateful for the ones fighting the pandemic on the frontline. However, you can discover below ways to make your summer evenings at home a little more entertaining.

Start a new TV series

Netflix has been having the back of millions of people in isolation, pouring out new seasons and films continuously. The platform, which is getting over 16 million new sign-ups, has become the best friend of many people in self-isolation alone, as well as families with kids. If you feel like you have watched almost everything on it, keep searching, there will be a new option coming up soon.

If you are alone and not in the condition of meeting up with your friends, opt for a virtual movie night! You could even order a takeaway and enjoy one of your favourite TV series with your friends through a video call.

Make it educational with a documentary

Few people are busy enough at the moment to be able not to spend hours in front of the TV. Most of us are dealing with the furlough the best we can, finding new hobbies and pastimes to keep our days busy. However, the evenings are still cold and, invariably, we find ourselves in front of the TV, always a little too early. If that is the case for you, opt to make your evenings educational. With a large number of documentaries – and documentary series – out there, you could become an expert in any subject during this time!

Subscribe to a new magazine

Deciding to watch less TV does not mean that you have to stay off the latest news or feel cut off. A few years back, magazines were trendy and loved by their readers. Undoubtedly, some still are, primarily through their online versions. However, there is nothing better than turning the glossy pages of a magazine on your porch while sipping a glass of wine. Even better, now that there is enough time, you can rediscover the pleasure of reading a book. And it does not have to be a book necessary for your job or career; you can just read a novel!

Drive-through cinemas are coming back

If you are a cinema lover and you can’t wait to watch your favourite films on the big screen again, look out! Drive-through cinemas (and drive-through theatres, apparently) are coming back! These will allow you to avoid breaching any social-distancing regulations while enjoying your favourite movies while snacking on popcorn. However, when you decide to take a drive in the evenings, make sure to pay attention to the road and keep the contact number of a car accident lawyer at hand. Indeed, as many people see this as a way to escape their four-walls, accidents might be a considerable danger.
