- Learn music/a new instrument

- Tend to houseplants/bonsai

- Manicure feet/grate corns

- Make one of these (or if short on time/materials just watch the video)

I hate to suggest weird, out-there, almost depraved activities but here goes.

Go for a bike ride?

Get high
Get drunk
Do 100 pressups
Make your own hot sauce

In that order.

Learn a bit of useful-ish software-ish things to do something?

As examples, at some point I would like to
- Learn to make a local street map into a shape/silhouette that can be 3d printed or cut out to frame and put on the wall
- learn a bit of designy software- for me it’s blender or unity/unreal, for you it could be CAD.

Mrs Binners has just bought me some maracas for 'Buzzin with Bez' strarting tomorrow

I might get a shitload of MDMA in for a laugh. In fact I can't actually think of any reason not too

If life's taught me anything, its that everything is always miles more interesting with Class A's involved 😀

Coke and hookers would have an added frisson of Russian (or just Eastern European) Roulette style excitement during a pandemic

AHHHHHH!!!! I KNOW! You could TEACH YOURSELF CODING.

Have a wee chat to Molgrips.....

He's trying to create an arcade game using Scratch. I get the feeling he's struggling a little.

He's working to a bit of a deadline (5pm on Friday 22nd.)

I'm sure he would appreciate some extra help.

Respect op....

I'm bored despite needing to clean the bathroom, run the hoover through the place, service two mtbs, wax six chains, sort out my tax paperwork, write two invoice and a shelf full of unread books. I'm sober despite having a shelf stocked full of red and a box full of green.

I'm a procrastinator.

Mrs Binners has just bought me some maracas for ‘Buzzin with Bez‘ strarting tomorrow

A few years ago now when my eldest daughter was 15 her friend Stella was being left at home for a few days while her mum took her brother to New York for his 18th. No problem though because her mum had arranged for a friend come down to babysit. Still to this day I wonder who goes through the whole list of their friends and thinks Bez is the best option

watch some tele, all those cop shows are good. Perhaps surf the web on your phone at the same time and occasionally make a brew and have a biscuit, or even 3.

Organise your records into genre, I did this over Christmas and browsing for something to play is much more enjoyable.

I keep trying to get to a position of boredom, but there is either to few hours in the day or to many chores in the day, I envy your boredom.
