There's a lot of work to do. But if there isn't any work we look for work to do! We need to be busy. That turns our thoughts away from our troubles. Keep your hands active and your mind (head) still. Many people are rediscovering handicrafts. In the past it was essential to make clothes at home. It was cheaper and more personal. Fishermen wore knitwear frocks. We can still knit them with the same patterns. We can knit or hook (crochet) decorations and toys as well as clothes. Here's a rainbow and there are some soft animals. Or you could sew something like this - an embroidery in the Kresen Kernow. Do you want to relax? Try a jigsaw puzzle with a nice picture of Cornwall.
