Re: rough time
Sounds like you have a couple of more things to add to your self-care list then @outlander. Often when you take photos you have to be in the moment to do so - enjoy that experience - it may only be a few seconds that you are actually taking the photos but the pleasure of finding the perfect place to take that photo or the perfect angle of a flower etc. is what makes that moment worthwhile. I have a favourite image of the Opera House that I took behing the beautiful old fence that is one of my favourites - it took me 2 or 3 goes to get the angle right to frame what I wanted the photo to show but it was worth it to have that photo.

Re: rough time
for sure @Zoe7 taking a pic only takes a few seconds but your right taking the pic from the right angle etc can be worth it. ill need to try and get my camera up and running again.
the picture you have of the opera house sounds loveley

Re: rough time
Maybe look into getting a picture editing program for your computer too eventually @outlander - there are some really cheap ones that you can get that do amazing things with images - often you can get free trials to see how to use them before you have to purchse them - that way you get to know the program and see if it fits with what you would like to do.

Re: rough time
That is when a program to create new images from the photos you have taken already would come in handy @outlander You can also use that spare time to look up different recipes - maybe create a theme for your cooking days - different ways to cook carrots for example (lol) or food from different countries etc. Maybe buy yourself a jigsaw puzzle - the ones online are great to do to fill in some time but having a physical puzzle where you hold the actual pieces is a good way to engage the sense of sight and touch.

Re: rough time

Re: rough time
I thought you would like my carrot reference @outlander lol
Maybe get a couple of craft kits - making pompoms or create your own cushion for example - Kmart have many cheap kits like that - you may find something that you really love doing. I love making pompom animals ...have done it with the kids at school sooo many times. Even buying some felt and making finger puppets - you could also do these all with your sisters when you get stuck for ideas but if you have done it yourself first for enjoyment then you will be able to show them and leave them to it themselves.
