Hello, I have been relieving boredom by doing some of my hobbies, like gardening, reading and writing letters.
Reading, watching films, gardening
Life’s hardly changed for me as I’m at home all day anyway. I watch bird cameras on YouTube, there’s always something cute or interesting going on.
Gardening, lots of gardening !
There’s not really much difference for us, we are still having to go to work every day, although we have introduced many more precautions, it is still a worry that we are putting our lives at risk for others but we’ve just got to keep calm and carry on! When we are home though, I’ve been working on our home renovation project.
I am spending lots of time in the garden trying to grow my own!
I’m keeping my youngest busy with lots of arts and craft and messy play …. which is in turn keeping me busy!!!
I am currently reading my way through a large pile of books, helps me to switch off for a few hours and get lost in a different world.

No boredom here! Our lives are normally so fast paced so we’ve really enjoyed quality family time with our children. We do daily circuit training and Muay Thai in the garden, lots of home schooling, baking, gardening, the list goes on.
Apart from trying to work and “teach” my son most days, I’ve actually been trying to reorganise the house. I already spent soo much time at home due to being disabled and working from home anyway, so my time out of the house was precious. No time outside at all makes me a little cuckoo (we don’t have a garden) but changing the look of my home has an element of newness and change. Funnily enough my husband, bless him, trying to help out, decided to buy a new quilt for our double bed (he bought king size), so we now have a cover-less quilt as none of ours fit it. This would truly be the ideal prize lol
