Directors Of The Bored, I hope you’re safe and well?
Prince Charles has infected Deeside now, I’m not taking anything for granted.
For the record, I wish him all the best, as I do anyone who contracts Coronavirus, and as a further tip to his medical practitioners, please don’t trust him to answer anything specifically regarding his blood type. As I understand it, he begins every answer with “Ehhhhhhhhhhhh”. He is in fact an ‘O’.
You’re welcome.
Thanks for getting in touch. I thought this was especially kind from Zoe.
OK, so to recap, this was the gist of yesterday’s blog.
Zoe asked about why Graeme was there.
He was, (despite being enormously busy trying to keep everyone in the North East Of Scotland online), responding to one of my main appeals from this site, to get you to record something funny, and send it to me so we can share it with the world and keep people laughing. It could be you telling a joke or funny story, or just something you’ve filmed by chance that had you splitting your sides. I’m after all of that. You can see Graeme’s effort in yesterday’s blog.
Here are a couple more.
And I’ll happily accept yours if you’re up for it. DM me on twitter, or WhatsApp me on our Facebook page. Search ‘sociable distance’
From today’s ‘Good To Know’ section, something I’ve filed under ‘for use a little bit down the road’, but I suppose it strictly depends how far along the journey you are between “Fully Stocked” and “Cupboard’s Bare”. If you’re already in full ‘Lord Of The Flies’ territory carefully considering which of your cohabitants will provide the most number of hearty satisfying meals, perhaps you need this recipe for bread in the slow cooker right now.
Yesterday, I wrote about the overwhelm of Home Schooling, and then, shortly afterwards, as is always the way with these things, had a bit of a minor breakthrough. With more on this story, let’s cross to John, our reporter on the scene as this story develops….
Thanks John.
On a slightly more helpful note.
Oh, and this looks like there’s at least an afternoon of fun to be had.
How to make Bagpipes out of a bin bag and some recorders.
I love how the article is remarkably quick to make the point this won’t actually sound like bagpipes. I’ve included it because halfway through the build you’ve effectively constructed a blow dart pipe, so you could always opt out at this stage and simply sedate the kids for the rest of the afternoon instead.
And now, the funnies…..
First up, when a facemask just doesn’t feel like enough….
And finally, today’s ‘News In Brief’…..Firstly, a recommendation from the NHS
And finally for today because I like to end on a burst of music, a plea for someone other than Gary Barlow to make an effort in a recording studio and get it out there. I feel like I’m inadvertenly working for him as a plugger promoting his upcoming duets album. Today’s guest on #TheCroonerSessions, (still wearing his hair with enough product it’s more like a crash helmet) Rick Astley.
That’s your lot for today. Please feel free to share this far and wide, subscribe if you like and get us in your inbox daily.
