Starting to get really stir crazy now!

Walked around the house today saying “hello” to the furniture, ornaments, fixtures and fittings

So bored that I even cleaned the outside drains today! .

Started fighting with my cat , he always wins .

I'm still waiting to get bored.
I haven't had TIME to get bored.
This has been the most frenetic and mentalist time of my life for over 18 months, and even then I'm only doing things half-arsed.

I can't say I envy you who have been literally indoors all that time.
I'm incredibly grateful for having reasons to be able to escape.

But FUCK ME, I could do with a little bit of a slouch around in me pants and eat baked beans out of a tin.

Day 28.
Peeled last strip of woodchip off the wall to soak
(so as not to get splinters in bum when using it as bog roll.)
Had I forseen this time of pestilence I'd have got Anaglypta
or a nice luxurious flock.
Soon I fear I shall have to do as the Romans and use a sponge on a stick
I'd better have a bucket of water and Dettol to hand for that I suppose.

Beard coming on well now

I keep wondering what the record for wandering around the flat in a dressing gown is?
I mean clothes are such a faff, why bother ? I might adopt the dressing gown as permanent attire a la Arthur Dent in the Hitchikers guide.

I hear the scratching at the wall again, I check the sigils and renew the incantations
and the garlic and crucfixes are firmly affixed before I warm a tin of soup over a guttering candle flame.

I'm normally at home anyway day to day, but this extended time has my days right fooked up. I saw something recently that said the days of the week should be renamed to this, that, the other, some day etc I am having trouble keeping track.

Just before the lockdown started our car was out of MOT, so we'd had an extended time at home anyway because we were trying to string out the renewal into warmer weather. Then Covid came and we had to wait 3 weeks for an MOT anyway!

I've left the house about 6 times in 3 months. Go Me!.

I got out yesterday and bought compost!! Luckily the rozzers (is that still an acceptable term?) didn't spot me and fine me for non essential purchases. I did do some real shopping as well. No panic.

I've just chopped a pair of sprouting potatoes to try and plant up in a day or so. Rescued the strawberry plants, now I have some compost. Cut the grass. Get moaned at by my last chicken because I'm invading her space, she's used to knocking around with the neighbourhood moggies and local jackdaws.

Things are getting desperate and I am eying up the paint we bought 2 years ago to do the bathroom.

I've even dug the static bike out of the cupboard!

I'm probably a lot more iucky than most. I live in a stunningly beautiful place and have a lot of places to walk for my daily exercise, plus plenty of ground to exercise my dogs if I don't feel like going out or the weather isn't good. If I'm feeling a bit meh, I only have to walk out of my front door, down a path and some steps and I'm at the sea with stunning views.

My house is in that photo which was taken on a walk yesterday.

I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to be cooped up in an inner city flat or similar...

If your BCF map is the correct location, how do you find living there? Is it always wet and windy, whats connectivity like, do you actually have shops and heating?

I'm starting to feel a bit cabin feverish.

Been juggling with work and doing jobs around the house, midway through updating the kitchen, 90% unpacked but stuck waiting for bits to be taken out of storage which is racking up weekly now.

The front of the house has a big pile of boxes (namely new deliveries), but we did get the paddling pool today (for the child, obviously) so I had to test that out for half an hour with a beer in the sun this afternoon.

I’m still getting work and used to work mainly from home anyway.

When I’ve cleared work, I’m restoring and recommissioning my 4 bikes, which I’m now down to the last two, so at least keeping busy.

It’s OK for now, but not sure how I’ll cope if this carries on for months with pubs staying shut.

Yesterday I stumbled across a rug cleaning video on the tube.
I'd never thought about jetwashing a rug before so I thought, why not?
Dissolved a half a scoop of Bold into a bucket of hot water and scrubbed it into the rug, left it to work its magic for the time it takes to have a cup of tea and then unleashed the Karcher.
It's still a bit damp this morning but my word its come up like new.

The best argument I heard (Scott Adams of Dilbert fame) was that if God knows the future, how can He/She/It allow free will ?

The best answer I could find is that God is some sort of multiverse entity which knows the outcome of every conceivable decision.

Descartes said “I think therefore I am”
The local tramp said “I stink because I can”
Pepperami says “I’m pink therefore I’m spam”

This is insightful.
