    Bored?

    Oh I'd like to try being bored.

    I could claim to be bored with the cooking and cleaning and washing and ironing - yes yes I'd have to do rather more of them than at present to be believed.

    Sometimes cleaning up knitting and sewing machines can be a bit repetative, but people pay me money to do it, so when I feel it getting too much I just put my prices up.

    Not too much boredom happens here, really

    Since I retired I just have not had time to be bored - there are not enough hours in the day for things like that!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Just thought I'd go crazy on the quote button in order to make an interesting point about the folks who spend time here. We're all a bit too interesting and creative to be bored.

    Boredom is a horrible and easily avoided thing-just be a veterinarian, wife, mother and "pin-up"!

    If, despite all of the above, I become bored, I can usually find a good book to read or a sewing project to begin. If worse comes to worst, I can always check out X-Marks!


    Be well,
