I'm hiding at home'' or ''I have been hiding at home''
Hi Everybody. Please read this short text :
Today I was all around my city. In the morning I went to a coffee shop to have a cup of coffee and study with my laptop. I sat outdoors in a dark area because weather was nice. Summer has finally come! I went to a bank to cash in a cheque after I had studied. It is afternoon now and I have been hiding at home because it is hot. I want to go to seaside because I can't go here where I live. I might go to a swimming pool tomorrow.
Could also I have used '' I'm hiding at home'' instead of ''I have been hiding at home'' ?
