My Directors Of The Bored, you’re just one more snooze away from lunchtime and the peak of the week!
After that point it’s all downhill, pressure’s off, naps are more enjoyable.
AND, the weather looks OK, fingers crossed.
Ah, Lockdown, that period when we look back through the photos on our phone we’ll find them clogged with inexplicable images such as this.
Children, animals and soft toys all involved. Humans wearing jammies. Could be first thing in the morning, last thing at night, or, in Lockdown, any point in between, and none of us will remember what was happening at that exact point other than it looked vaguely like fun.
I hope that’s broadly what your Lockdown’s looked like too.
BUT, you know the reason we do this blog. To make sure you’ve got a laugh in your day where you thought it might otherwise not be possible.
Our aim will always be to prove that no matter what this pandemic throws at us, a giggle can shoot around this planet quicker and last longer than any virus.

On with today’s selection.
The Useful
First up, it’s always a consideration this time of year being able to sleep at night in the hot weather.
This first article has a load of suggestions which may help.
Everything from fans to temperature controlled mattresses. Shutters and blinds to essential oils.
Or, you could just move to Scotland.
Are you one of those people who believe you can just get up and launch into the day without the aid of coffee?
I’m trying to think of the actual word to describe that person. Oh yeah – ‘lunatic’.
Well, if you are, you have it right and the rest of the Starbucks and Costa loving world has it wrong.
Do you think you can catch up on sleep at the weekends?
Well, you can’t. Not according to this lady, and she appears fresh enough.
She’s biochemist Dr Libby Weaver and in this piece she debunks as myth pretty much everything you believe to be true about sleep and nutrition. Handy if you’re trying to get back into the way of leading a normal life after zombie-ing at home for a spell.
If the thing you’ve missed most during Lockdown is a cuddle with those you can’t be near, you really should make the most of it when you get back together because cuddling is good for you health.
Doesn’t this guy look like he could do with one?
He’s riddled with the stress of lying to his wife, telling her he’s been working throughout Lockdown, when in reality, he’s been dressing for it every morning, and then simply taking a packed lunch to the park where occasionally he fed the ducks if that day’s sandwiches were shrimp paste or marmite.
I imagine there’s a chance you’ve fantasised about beer gardens this last wee while. Who you might meet the first night the pub reopens and how you might celebrate.
Here’s a fairly sensible bit about how to avoid being the worst person at the bar when it does finally starting serving again.
Things We’ve Discovered In Lockdown
A Lockdown Mum denied her evening glass of wine is more dangerous than a ravenous lion.
The Prosecco-ution presents this as evidence of the previous statement.
Baby owls sleep face down because their heads are too heavy.
It’s the for The Funnies
Been a while since we checked in with fake Nicola. Hold on until I get my Janey Godley warning board.
Today’s News In Brief
I’d like to thank this next photo for answering that age-old question.
Let’s play out with some music…
Waaaaaaaay back at the beginning of Lockdown I marvelled at the brilliance of this.
Checked it again today. Still strong.
The Family Lockdown Boogie.
Thanks for reading.
