Peak lockdown boredom

Today I have reached peak lockdown boredom. I realised this as I swept some leaves and gravel from the pavement opposite my house, which had been bothering me for quite some time.
What have you done today out of sheer boredom?

I've managed to stay pretty busy, actually.
But... I was on a telecon today with European partners (mostly French speakers). At end, one of them announced that she had an 8 hour journey on public transport, when she intended to work on our joint document.

OMG, the sheer jealousy -- "You get to go somewhere!" everyone shrieked. "But I might not be allowed back afterwards" she meagerly offered. It was funny. Having envy at someone stuck on a train for 8 hours.

I'm working full-time and home-schooling KS1 child plus toddler, I wish I had time to be bored!

I dusted my blinds today, which I loathe.
I also went and stood in the garden and stared at a tree in the dusk.

I ate two packets of biscuits.
And I'm considering dyeing my hair pink. I have only once dyed my hair before. I didn't like it.

I feel your pain Scottish. My 1 year old was “helping” me to sweep the leaves. I gave my other DC the day off school today, but my eldest still logged on just for something to do. Poor kid.

I texted DH with some 'interesting' information about some cladding I'd seem in a neighbour's planning application.

Also work and DC (4) at home to contend
with - if anything, that just adds to the boredom. Non stop hamster wheel.
