Fun Trivia

It's not been easy to keep ourselves occupied at night and on the weekends as we soldier-on through lockdown without any real idea of when we might be able to meet our friends again.

Reading books, listening to our favourite music and completing Netflix has certainly helped us to avoid the sheer boredom. That and the daily strolls.
