Just thought I would start a thread to find out what everyone else had been getting up to during the Lockdown. Maybe someone learned a new language, learned a new hobby, done something they had been putting off for decads - just for those little odd achievements....
So far for me/us
* Painted and repaired the entire Garden Fence (a job that has been put off for the last 3 years) * Demolished the old shed and reused the wood to make some garden planters. (That's had a 2 year wait) * Made some bird boxes and a bird table with the kids using left overs from above. * Planted a ton of vegetables in the Garden * Began building a small crazy golf course (for the kids of course) on the patch of the old Shed (as sod all will grow there) Just need to source some Astro Turf at the right price and see if they will deliver.
* Made up a Homebrew kit (might call this years batch "Tylers Tipple" or "Gene Genie") - may design some labels yet... * Shot 2 Lego Movies to help my youngest with his School project * Finally sat down and re-written a format for a script idea I had 10 years ago. Got to start on the bare bones...

I'm still working so not done as much, my excuse anyway! - dug over all the borders and seeded them with flowers
- removed a couple of tree stumps
- set up tomato plants in greenhouse
- cleaned inside and outside of greenhouse
- instructed son on use of pressure washer to clean patio which he has started
- brushed up on my acting in preparation to feature in the production of Sparky's script (rather attractive man playing blagger's accomplice)

I think about 90% of the countries gardens are going to look like Kew by the end of the summer! I might really push the boat out and clear the weeds on the drive, once the weedkiller does it's thing.

Oh crikey. I've achieved so little. I've mainly been reading and moping since Furlough started! (that's definitely not mopping, by the way). The only thing of note at all of this ilk is that I've repainted the front door and porch bit. I'll take a picture tomorrow, since I have so little to share . You've both done so much!

Well be fair, you’ve got into Bond and started a virtual fist fight amongst the squad, that’s an achievement! Thanks to you I’m going to get ambushed by the Roger Moore Fan Club in the first meet I go to.

And you watched the wrong Bond film first.

Just trying to remain positive in this period is an achievement in itself so you've done very well Sparky. We keep praising the NHS & the newly appointed Colonel Tom but when you think of all the people behind closed doors enduring God knows what, you have to count your blessings.
