There seems to be a need for it!

Post here what you are doing, if your day is boring.

I, and some others, will still find it interesting.

Use my grapefruit knife for deseeding peppers.
No real grapefruits in the house since we went onto statins😡

To open a packet of biscuits I will use my 'tomato knife', thanks.

I've got a grapefruit knife.

Now, that is posh!

Well, I'm bored. There's nothing I want to watch on TV and I've finished my book. But I had a couple of sausages with bubble & squeak for tea & that was quite interesting.

I thought it would be boring, but all sorts of things happened. So not contributing 😊

tomato knife
Is it serrated?

I will try to clean off the top of my desk today so I can find the keyvoard and use the mouse again. My desk keeps morphing into a stack of folded laundry.

Went to the supermarket.

The 'show' shelves which display goodies such as Easter eggs and other seasonal delights, were full of cleaning products ready for the Big Spring Clean.

I bought Eco washing liquid.
Thrilled, as it was on offer.

Hollysteers, how does one open a packet of biscuits ?

I cut into the top of the wrapping with a very sharp knife.

I slice into it with a serrated knife about two biscuits along. Like cutting a Swiss roll.

Circled round my very small suitcase today “packing” for a few days away.
Started using a magnetic message board stuck to the fridge.
Cleaned out an evening bag which had become sticky with a left over boiled sweet.

Has the book Diary of a Provincial Lady been mentioned here?
Very similar to this thread.

I’ve watered and fed my indoor plants. Seems to take forever.

I’ve been shopping for new car mats and a boot cover for the dog..there is no more boring place than a car accessories store.

Playing catch-up after hanging washing on the line. Congratulations to crosstitchfan on the birth of your great-grandson (I have one of those too, 16 months old, but lives too far away for me to see very often) and on your eyesight. Other issues must be a worry, but keep on keeping on and get lots of cuddles from your g-g.
Now, lunch.

I found a jar to hold the shampoo bottle upside down.

Good idea. Saves it dribbling. Today’s challenge will be finding a jar.

Ooh no. You can never have too many lazy days.

Thank you to everyone here who has made the word 'boring' sound aspirational respectable😉

Harris27 Fri 25-Apr-25 15:53:16

I look forward to doing little after years of working. Feel my husband mightn’t be the same genre. Lovely days off but I’m worried retirement might be too many lazy days. Only time will tell.

Allira Fri 25-Apr-25 15:52:34

You could have worn it when you went out without him 😀

Mollygo Fri 25-Apr-25 15:44:11

🤣🤣🤣
I’d have seen his face every time I wore it. I sent a pic to my sisters, who said I looked good in it, but sadly, too late!

Took an outfit I thought looked good in, back to the shop.
Reason for return? DH’s face!

🤔 you trusted his judgement? 😯

I’ve just done something I never thought I’d do….Made a complaint to the BBC about a factual inaccuracy in a programme last night.

I must be bored. Time to get on with the gardening.

Ooh! That's quite exciting, though!
Are you Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells?

Not a boring morning so I won't mention it.
A quiet afternoon busily doing nothing.
