With persistent restrictions on freedom of movement, it will probably be a home holiday for most of us at Easter. But there is no reason to get bored. Pack your backpack and put on your hiking boots. Take a walk in the woods in the local area, lend the swimming pool to the neighbor, or just get out and do things. If you have a holiday home that you can safely seek out, you are extra lucky.
Anyway, the Easter holidays get better with music, or what about an audiobook? There are also plenty of sports broadcasts at Easter, especially in football with World Cup qualification, series start and not least the Champions League for women. You must not watch it on TV, it is fine to listen to sports broadcasts on the radio while doing other things.
