My confinement at home


As all of us are now in quarantine, today I’m going to talk about how I am living this situation and what I am doing in my house, and maybe you can take some ideas to do in your house.


We have been locked up one month for the moment, and probably we are going to be another month. I miss lots of things, like my family and my friends, my village, going out… But as I can´t go out, I have to resign myself to making phone calls to my friends and family, and instead of going out to the street, being in my garden. Now, our house is also our street, our school or our workplace, our gym… All the things that we used to do outside or in public spaces, now we have to do them in our houses, like for example studying. We cannot go to high school, so we are doing online classes, studying the lessons on our own, sending the homework by email, or even doing classes by videoconference. Another thing we must do in our house is sport. If you normally do sport in the gym, in the street, with a group, with a personal trainer… Now you can’t, so we must do sports in our house. For example, I have a garden, so sometimes when the weather is good, I play basketball with my family.

Another thing I am doing a lot is talking by phone. I normally do this because I have friends from other cities that I can’t see so we do phone calls.  These days I do it almost every day because we have more time and I can’t see even the ones that live in Soria, so I talk a lot with them and with my family.

You can also start doing new things you have never done or you normally can’t do because you don’t have time, like painting, cooking, reading a book… For example, one thing I wanted to do for a long time, but I didn’t find time is tidying my bedroom, and now I can take time to clean and decorate everything as I want.

Another thing I am doing is listening to new music. I am discovering lots of songs and singers I had never heard before. Moreover, there is something very common that a lot of people are doing, but not in my case because I don’t like it too much, it is watching series or movies. If you like watching series or movies but you don’t usually have time, now you can take advantage of the confinement and do it.

Well, that’s all. I hope you liked it and that it gave you some ideas to avoid being bored, and please, stay at home. Bye!

  4. I liked this article a lot because he or she gives us his or her point of view and I think that it is good to have different points of view of people because now we don't communicate with people as much as we did before, so this is good to see how people are doing during this quarantine.

  5. Thanks for your commentary, I like to see that some people do the same things as me at quarantine. The only thing that I make different is that I watch a lot of films and series. I would have been bored a lot if I hadn't seen them.

  8. At this point I have watched many series that were on my list. I don't really think we can be bored because of the large amount of work we have to submit.

Just a "simple" doctor

COVID-19 has forced us to face situations for which we were not prepared. As a consequence of the current pandemic, we all have had to change our daily routines. We have changed from practically being with one another to being under a strict lockdown within just four walls. It is a difficult experience for humans. Although everything feels strange and it’s easy to be fearful, I’m learning new ways to be patient . However, the experience that my father is going through in his professional career is being much more difficult. For my father life has changed perhaps even more dramatically. As a doctor, he says he would have never imagined living something like this disease. He is doing his best,  both with the sick patients and along with us, his close family. Although he always tried not to bring home his work problems, unfortunately it has been quite the opposite. He tells me everything about his job. The family environment is now his great and unconditional support. ...

Quarantine for a dog

Hi! I am Toby, a little puppy. I live in a flat with my mother Kim. Kim is a great human, she plays with me whenever I ask her for and she gives me delicious food. Kim has been more stressed than usual in the last few days, I feel it in our home environment. She goes out fewer times and se takes me on very short walks. Oh, and she spends a lot of time doing her things with that object she calls “computer”. She says it is very important for our money. Actually, I don’t understand that. What does our money have to do with a computer? In my opinion, humans are so obsessed with money. Well, talking about our walks, I want to get out of our home more than ten minutes please! Our walks before were not so brief as now, and I met other dogs in the street, there were a lot of people, we went to unknown but amusing places for me… Now, we just go to the park around the buildings on the opposite sidewalk. The furthest, we have been, was to a little park wit...

Positive Thinking!

Hi friends!  In this post I want to talk about the current quarantine that we are living. Nowadays, there is a lot of information about COVID-19. As you know it is a virus that a large part of the population is suffering. However, I’m not going to talk about this. I’m going to talk about how we can enjoy the quarantine and its positive things. Positive Thinking   First of all, you have to be positive because if you aren’t, probably you are going to be very bored. To continue with, if you live with your family, you can play some games together. For instance, you can play football, watch TV, play some board game or set up a karaoke in your own house. These are only some ideas. If we all stay in our homes, we’re helping a lot of people. Firstly, we are giving less work to the people who work at hospitals. Then, probably we are saving our family and other people from being infected. We only have to think that every day is one day less of being in our homes. We al...
