I don't have a Twitter account myself, but there are a few accounts I regularly check up on. I want to limit the time I spend on Twitter, because at the moment it is not a healthy place to be.

I want to get back to doing my Qi Gong exercise regularly. Meditation should also be good, but I'm a little too impatient for that.

For the rest, comfort TV (Belgian TV started reruns of Kapitein Zeppos, which was a very popular children's series in the mid-'sixties. Pure nostalgia!), Netflix, and reading. I may start Querkling again. I found that very relaxing when I had troubles at work.

Querkling looks like a soothing activity. Qwirkle is an unrelated board game that sees heavy play in my house.

Cool! Looks like a sophisticated variation on dominoes.

Oh! Querkling is a grand idea!

Thanks, I enjoy doing it!

Mind you, not everyone agrees on the 'relaxing' part. I know someone who much prefers the ordinary colouring books.
