I'm bored!

[Auld-Yin]

Getting a bit ruff?

If you are teaching your kids/grandkids then teach them something useful. Show them how to make out a Range Card with the best areas to take out the local yobs. Teaches them safety, judging distance, knowledge of the area, with potentially a bit of fieldcraft thrown in. Get them to do one from each room/window then check against the ones you have made and are keeping for the Zombie invasion!

Feck that. Teach them how to change a plug, load and unload the dishwasrer, the washing machine, hang washing up, fold clothes, Hoover, clean the car, mow the lawn, the difference between a weed and a plant, paint skirting boards, put shelves up, organise the shed and the garage, fix a puncture, change a tyre, polish stuff, set the table, chop vegetables, cook, etc etc etc

All the fecking things I've been doing this week.

Why haven't you taught them that already - that is what weekends and school holidays are for after all !?

should take a bit of spare time up

Help needed to rescue UK's old rainfall records

Pre-1960s handwritten rain gauge data can inform drought and flood planning, but only if digitised.

I had a go at that a year or two back. It's mind-numbingly boring.

@Auld-Yin Have you considered doing another book review as a way of passing the days? John Bercow's 'Unspeakable' could be a soothing medicament for you in these difficult times.

I'm seeing a lot of new names popping up all over the forums. Boredom must be real bad out there.

I'm waiting for Alex Salmond's "new evidence" book coming (cuming?) out.

Much as I dislike Salmond's politics, I would far rather read a book by him than by the self-aggrandising shitweasel Bercow.

On the plus side, Bercow's book could be cheaper than toilet paper soon (Top tip - do not get the Kindle edition).

I know you've only got to visit Austria to see how they still despise Germans for not being German enough the Nazi walts

I blame the Bavarians myself, closet bloody Austrians

I lost it yesterday having scalped the garden again and planted vast quantities of veggie seeds. I had a read of James Blunt Twitter feed - desperate or what. But by heck he is funny!

Just about 2 weeks of social distancing here, and I am getting bored. I've been considering getting out the wheelbarrow next Wednesday and going down the street shouting, "Bring out your dead", while ringing a bell...

Probably not a good idea though, no sense of ha ha here in the Rhine Valley.

Indeed not a good idea you might do your back in carrying all the stiffs.

I peaked too early. Cleared out the shed in the first couple of days. Found a half tin of paint.
I now have a tidy shed and the paint has dried on the bedroom wall.

MIssus has killed everything in the house with a myriad of sprays, Zoflora, Agua Fuerte and Dettol.

Ho hum, coming up to 2 weeks of lockdown here and has been extended a further two weeks. Wish I had a real lawn out the back instead of artificial grass as I could have got the scissors out.
