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.

Yes that's fine when one has the fitness and funds to do it but for some people those days are over.
But life can still be good fun and that's what these posts are about.
Today, am going to wash the bathroom floor and finish cutting the grass.

I think this a boring day thread misschatline that's why posters said you have the wrong thread. I never took it as being about getting old.

Well my highlight is cooking a roast dinner for one and the joy if eating it.

The washing machine has just beeped to tell me it has finished the overnight wash. I’d better get up to hang the washing out. Then the major decision of the day - stay up, or back to bed with a book and a cuppa?
Will watch the boat race later.

The replacement blades for the Flymo have arrived.
It's amazing what one can get excited about.

V3ra Sun 13-Apr-25 07:32:26

loopyloo I'll trump your lawnmower blades with my recent purchase of a Kärcher window vac 😁
We have a lot of floor to ceiling glass so it's been a revelation! 😃

I think you win today’s prize for the most boring activity!

Mine will be making a batch of gluten free bread rolls. I used to find it exciting until I realised that eating them means I have to do it all again. 🤔

I got excited a few weeks ago that it was bin day!

Well, I happened to have a lot to fill it with that time, that I wanted rid!

Fancythat, are you in Birmingham?

Aveline Sun 13-Apr-25 08:31:59

I'm not happy today. It's not going to be a boring one. I'll not say more than that.
However, I was amazingly happy and smug yesterday when I discovered how to order a Nectar card. I can hardly wait to access the astounding bargains that will open up to me.

Palm Sunday. Not boring. Church will be lovely.

After Church quite a boring drive home.

I have already completed a dog plod. I cannot call it a walk as Toby refuses to really walk, anywhere. We made it to the next close. I did get very excited though as he turned left instead of right. New horizons....
He is now doing his very favourite thing, sleeping.
I am giving hoovering and dusting a miss as l have recently become addicted to mahjong online.
Happy boring day to all.

Aveline Sun 13-Apr-25 08:46:39

'dog plod' grin

Afternoon, just got up after a bad night's sleep. Partner has just run 17 miles, he came in and after a shower made me breakfast.
Washing on, I am going for a shower, and then will hoover. After that, Kindle, gardening and just doing nothing. Not exiting but will chill as I have a busy week ahead. Boring is good for today.
have a busy

Oh, thanks, I didn't realise.
Off to watch now, come on Oxford!

Aldom Sun 13-Apr-25 12:50:20

I suppose I'm having a boring day today. Yesterday was busy. I spent the whole day in the city with a friend. It's tired me out. So today I'm doing nothing.
Just messing around on GN. Will get some lunch in a minute. Later I'll find something to watch on TV.
I'm not at home, I'm at my family's house, looking after the pets while the family are away.
Tomorrow may be different, I shall need to do some food shopping.
Anyway, I shall just get on with my boring day and wish everyone on the thread, or just reading, a happy, boring day. grin

^Had some supper (quiche and salad), watched the tv, got to the 5% question on the 1% club (never normally happens).^
I did quite well tonight but didn't get the 10 Downing Street one - duh!

I did half a row of crochet.

As much as that?😲

It is getting larger and larger 😁

I did quite well on the 1% Club last night and was feeling chuffed until a record number of people got through to the final.

Must have been an easy episode. 🤔🤔

Online jigsaws?! They sound excellent. Hope they’re easy to find as they sound ideal for tomorrow.

Here you are Kate54! Please don’t blame me if you get sucked down a puzzle wormhole and never do anything exciting ever again. grin
