[Closed] Lock down entertainment

I am finally going to tidy my garage. Wonder if the tip will be open.

@bikebuoy my first job this morning is to wander down to the surf shop and stockpile wax. I'll do food after.

I will finally do the stretching/yoga that has been my New Years resolution multiple times. If I can touch my toes by the time this is all over I'll be a happy man!

Not that fussed on training- I am assuming there won't be a cyclocross season this year.

I am more concerned about entertainment for my three year old who is a bundle of energy and a bit of a liability

Tame the wild and windswept heathland that is currently our back garden.

Actually pick up my guitar rather than just look at it.

But most importantly..... try not to murder my offspring. Couping up a 5 and an 8 year old for protracted periods is going to be..... trying, praying they don't ban bike rides like they did in Spain.

Weeding, planting more weeding, re seed lawn after weeding obvs, pruning, re bark paths.

Scales on my guitar, more scales, repertoire practice plus new pieces, then the big one I have been putting off the CAGE system. Might even re string the classical guitar but Martin still sounds fine.

Major catch up on reading but unsure about library books.

Might sneak out on my bike for some night rides.

Learn a musical instrument, or another one if you already can play. Harmonicas are cheap & cheerful, don’t require any amps or any other extras.

For movies/tv series, try:
Survivors
Outbreak
Contagion
Any ‘Living Dead’ films
Z-Nation (like The Walking Dead but with its tongue firmly in its cheek)
I Zombie

Learn to brew beer, it’s surprisingly easy

Make a model kit. See the Christmas Airfix thread; other model kits are available, and often higher quality than Airfix

Get a radio controlled device - cars, aeroplanes, helicopters, quadcopters (drones).
Helicopters are particularly challenging as long as you stay away from those with contra-rotating blades

I think it's finally time to take up Amazon on their offer of free Prime for a month?

Just drop it over Pennard Cliffs - nobody'll be around to worry about it! 😀

God almighty, a world full of harmonica players? It's worth catching the virus to avoid that!

I will 😎 Three Cliffs Bay is still recovering from the last tidal flood-dump of 3ft-deep plastic waste. I will stare-down any (even jocular and imaginary) attempts to further sully that place

*Iceberg stare*

Going to dust off the guitar - sorry to my neighbours and girlfriend - and read a couple of books.

Seems like a decent weekend is coming up, so some time spent in the garden doing things. The bikes will be sparkling 🙂

Fencing and patio'ing and time to sort out the rest of the garden & shed..there's plenty to keep me occupied.

I've decided to eat better.
Today's breakfast (with picture): Toaster waffles, blueberries, raspberries, mango, pineapple, pomegranate seeds and greek yoghurt.

Tomorrow's will be more meat based.

I’ve got a phd thesis to write, not sure if that counts as entertainment.

Mount & Blade: Bannerlord is coming out, so there’s that.

Plenty of production editing to do at home.

Also second job is a home job.

Doom eternal from Friday.

Dog / Bikes. Always DIY jobs too.

Also genuinely fancy watching Outbreak!

Will mainly miss restaurants.
