The thing is that you've got to pace yourself paint some but save some for the next day!

Hi.
I AM CURED !! I am NOT Obsessive. My screws ( All mixed together) and nails (All mixed together ) are rusting away nicely in the OLD Tin boxes Soap powder used to come in. Daughter and SIL Conversation.... Daughter. " Dad will have some of those in the garage,go and see him ". SIL. " It will be quicker for me to walk to Coimbra and back (80km ?) to fetch what i want and do the JOB!!. by the time he has tipped his boxes out and sorted through rusty screws that have been salvaged from a thousand jobs,it will be another four days.". Keeps the Santa Comba Dao hardware shop busy........

Not bored at all, been getting with jobs I kept putting off. Not made much difference to us as we are often home this time of year. Only difference really is not being able to nip out when you want to, the only thing we miss is not being able to go dancing 2 or 3 times a week like we normally would.

 

[Simon Meadwell]

My thoughts are get every job done then as soon as safe to do so spend every weekend away

Retiring early at 47 has made me immune to boredom
Do a bit of something every day, feel like you have done your bit, then rest.

Also having 2 grandkids living with us full time keeps me busy...
Quite enjoyed last night, sat out in the garden having a couple of Hobgoblins i found in the van
Watching the kids blast the crap out of some squirells

Its a joke about the squirell's.. Just cans and pop bottles.. Really..

I sort out the vermin..

Not bored but bordering on obsessive too.

I have been clearing out my son's old bedroom. There is paperwork dating back nearly 20 years. There are clothes that he hasn't been able to fit into for 15 years. There are boxes and carrier bags of 'bits' - drawers from previous residences just emptied willy nilly but requiring sorting in case there is something precious or memorable in there.

I have now found the floor and am working my way towards the walls.

My plan is to strip and paint one wall, put up shelves and gradually sort everything back into the room in a semblance of order.

I may be some time......

BORED!

 

[ManTheVan]

Not bored. The ‘estate’ has never looked so good at this time of year. Honestly, you count the blades of grass today and by tomorrow there are at least 37% more...

I reckon there will be loads of accidents when everyone gets their motorhomes back on the road! Mainly caused by other motorists being blinded by their dazzling appearance

Not so much bored as lethargic ... there's stuff I could be doing and, if all of this hadn't happened I'd be doing it (such as putting our place back on the market etc), but as there's no chance of it selling any time soon I just haven't got the impetus to do it. Yesterday afternoon I did do some gardening for a couple of hours ... might do a bit more today if I feel like it ... I've got stuff I want to do on the MH too but I don't really want to go in it as it makes me sad to know I won't be able to use it for a while.

 

[SpeedyDux]

I can't be &rsed to tidy my shed. I wait for the mice to do it.

We are taking turns going into the front garden and knocking on the front door so the other one can get a visitor. I tried doing it by myself. Going out the back, running round the front, knocking on the door and running back indoors to answer it. More fun if the two of you do it though ?

Fascinating! I took almost a morning to sort out my spice jars and discard old ones. The oldest being "BBE Sept 1996"..... And then clean out the kitchen cupboards; oh yes, I really was that bored! I would clear out the sheds but with our tip (sorry, household recycling centre) closed, that's a job for "tomorrow", which, as we know, never comes - thank goodness!

 

[mitzimad]

i keep finding jobs i didnt know needed doing

 

[cliffanger]

Crikey not bored at all! We still do our 4 mile walk every day, but there’s also our Villasol Keep Fit session with Handsome Julio on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday - the pocket rocket, smiling assassin quickweh Pauline attends as well, but as its through Zoom, we think we’re safe enough from her voodoo style injurious antics .....

Julio is starting Spanish lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so what with all that and Wednesday Uke sessions with my BUGs, Choirjam on Mondays, and lockdown Discos on Fridays, my life is not dull.

We watch Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘The Shows Must Go On’ on Youtube after the Lockdown Disco. So far he’s shown Joseph and his multicoloured coat, and Jesus Christ Superstar which was the fantastic 2018 version.

I still don’t intend doing any cleaning until week 11, and if lockdown goes on after that, so will my sluttish, non housework regime continue!

To escape the doom and gloom, I’ve been reading the complete chronicles of Anne of Avonlea - wonderful books. Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia has been on my wish list for a long time, maybe after this crap is all over ......

Apart from not seeing our Rob, Catie and my mum, I’m quite content. ....

Apart from one HUGE downer - production of The Archers has stopped!!!!
