Who’s stir crazy yet?

[pepperami]

It’s only been a few days into lock-down and already I’m climbing the walls!
Who else is already feeling bonkers about being stuck at home a lot?

Doing jobs around the house (slowly), but that will only keep me amused for so long because I fucking hate DIY with a passion.
The weather here is not quite good enough for me to drag a bike out of the garage and work on it.
That said my bikes are in reasonably good order and so don’t need a lot to be done to them.
I’ve watched more telly in the last week than I care for, Jeez! There’s some shite on the box these days.



Silly suggestions for things to keep us entertained/amused/busy please

Depends on the circumstances. Rural or urban, garden or none, children or not, ages etc.

Get used to it, reckon they'll announce a longer stricter lock down soon, to end of April, then end of May. The noises being made by the scientists and Bozza point to this.

Widely reported just now as "until June". It wouldn't surprise me if various is restrictions went on longer.

I dunno what I would do if I was stuck in a flat or maisonette. As it is I have plenty of stuff I could do at home in the workshop, at least a couple of months worth except I'm back to work on Wednesday.

Thanks to the government declaring that construction sites can continue working you either run the covid19 gauntlet to continue work or starve.

Well I’ve been titting about in the garage this morning and playing lots heavy heavy bass club tunes
And that’s annoying the neighbours, so that had to stop .

We’ve had sleet/snow here today so I’m not getting the bike out of the garage to work on it, not that it needs much.
If I polish them anymore, I’ll wear the paint off .

I’ve now got an app ‘Duolingo’ , so I’m Going to carry on trying to improve my German.

Still no silly suggestions? Have we all become very grown up and sensible on the mighty BCF?

I'm overdosing on tea and old episodes of Wheeler Dealer. I'm also rediscovering I have no aptitude for guitar.

Well it used to be the case I hadn't washed the bike 'cos I'm a lazy git. Now I'm saving it as a "treat" for when things are really bad!

As touched on with the above garage clearance the only thing putting me off clearing the shed is "can I go down to the rubbish dump?" (No, BTW, "not essential travel")

Gave the kitchen a good clean this morning including the induction hob with a special hob cleaning product. Had always cleaned it with soap / water but this stuff is on another level

The flecks on the right hand side of the pic are from the glass reflecting back the marbling in the splash-back. Bloody impressive shine.

You know you're bored when you're chuffed with a kitchen cleaning product

I have a plastic model kit that I bought for a friends kid and then found out he was allergic to the glue so couldn't make it. It's been on top of the wardrobe for a few years now.

I even bought some paints but I'm wondering whether its politic to start it now while wifies job list for me remains untouched.

This is the kit

I haven't made one of these for must be 30 years.

I've been living like this for the last two years

Yeah, I'm bored with it now. Let's go on to the next thing. How about a nice war? Haven't had one of those for a while.
