Yes: I am bored …
Radically bored …
Bored in a way that involves been boringly bored in a bored kind of way.
Frankly?
The sooner the Corona virus lockdown is over, the happier I — and the rest of the country, frankly! — will be.

On a slightly pleasant front … ?
I — occasionally — do phone interviews for the Office of National Statistics: the UK’s statistics body.
I did one recently: themed — inevitably — around the current crisis.
It took about fifteen (15) minutes.
And earn me thirty quid: as an Amazon gift voucher.
£30 worth of free stuff from Amazon can’t be bad.
Even if Amazon’s going to take ages to deliver!

Right at the moment?
I’m concerned about charities.
I think some — ones like veterans charity, Help for Heroes and the various charities that support NHS hospitals like Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital — really shouldn’t exist.
As the causes are funded by our tax money. The government should be doing a better job of using our money to fund them.
We shouldn’t have to pay extra for them.
So, seeing 99 year old veteran, Captain Tom Moore, doing a sponsored walk around his garden, to raise £1000 for the NHS — and raising £12 million as a result — leaves me feeling conflicted.
Raising that money’s the government’s job, not a retired captain who’s earned the right to have a sit down!
The walk … ? And the money he’s raised?
Is STILL one hell of an achievement.
But, even so!
