My daughter's Y3 teacher is the absolute GOAT. She single-handedly crocheted a mini-me of each kid in her class as an end of year gift. Approx. 8hrs per doll. Even the hairstyles and clothes are spot on. What a legend.

Apparently, 3 months (if Y3's reports are to be trusted 😅). She seems to be amazing at multi-tasking. E.g. watching the Euros and crocheting (she took pics to show the class 😁).

I'm in a lockdown book club with a Czech & an Italian. We pick a book in our 1st lang and look for translations into the other 1st langs - or English when not available/hard to get.
Great way to get yourself outside of the English lang literary bubble.
