Was wereв прошлом времени

This year the summer was not the same as before, due to the quarantine, we could not go anywhere. Usually I went to Kazakhstan to see my relatives, but during this period I stayed in Omsk. What have I been doing all summer? The most important goal was to get enough sleep, since the school year was not easy. We also had a summer assignment in Russian language and literature. I read the assigned works and completed the assignment in Russian. In the evening I watched Turkish TV shows. My family and I went to the park, to the embankment. Since many of the shopping kits were closed, we walked in nature, and it's for the best. I also went out with my best friend. This summer I also spent a lot of time with a friend and thanks to her I learned new places in Omsk, we almost always walked around the city. Having lived in this city since my birth, I very rarely walk and know few beautiful places. We ate a lot in nature, especially on the waterfront, and I tried new dishes. Evening walks are mandatory with ice cream. In general, this summer was remembered for food)
