Good Morning and Happy Friday my Directors Of The Bored, Ordinarily, this would be a weekend you’d longed for ages to arrive – another May Bank Holiday where the prospect of Summer is tantalisingly close and you get the chance to spend some well-earned time off with the family. Instead, you’re hovering by the doorContinue reading “Friday May 22nd #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Good Morning, Directors Of The Bored, Especially to our latest recruits from Singapore and South Africa. Thanks for checking us out. We appreciate every visit, but those from far flung locations to our own mean we’re getting there on our quest to make humour scour the planet quicker and for longer than Coronavirus. That’s it.Continue reading “Thursday May 20th #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Directors Of The Bored, Good Morning! Today is apparently due to be the hottest day this week according to the forecast. Of course it is, because the weather’s doing that thing where it builds false hope ahead of a Bank Holiday Weekend, only to slaughter it without even a shred of sympathy a few shortContinue reading “Wednesday May 20th #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Morning! How are you? It’s a question we should never stop asking, both of other people, but also ourselves, especially in a very strange time where we’re separated from our loved ones, and literally restricted in terms of how close we can be to each other. We’ve seen or heard warnings that now is aContinue reading “Tuesday May 19th #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Good Morning my Directors Of The Bored and welcome to Blog 51! No, it’s of no real significance to me either, but WordPress sent me a nice badge icon so I thought I’d mention it. Hope you had a good weekend. We bought stuff for the garden online. They know we’re coming, don’t they. TheyContinue reading “Monday May 18th #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

I hope you’re as well as can be expected given the circumstances and feeling much the same way. One thing I will guarantee, stick with this read for the next few minutesContinue reading “Friday May 15th #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Good Morning my Directors Of The Bored, You alright? Looks like another dry sunny day where I am, which means more gardening. My enthusiasm is unparalleled. It’s a two, green, thumbs-up from me, located just next to my green fingers. I actually don’t mind it, if the weather’s kind, and the theory is if we’reContinue reading “Thursday May 14th #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Morning! It’s another bright, beautiful day outside my window – hope it’s the same with you. That being said, there was a frost when I came downstairs earlier. I live in Scotland. Yesterday we had hailstones, glorious sunshine, torrential rain, and then it turned cold enough to be icy overnight. It’s never boring. Or predictable.Continue reading “Wednesday May 13th #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Directors Of The Bored, Good Morning! Where about are we in Lockdown? I’ll tell you, we’re in the stage where I’m now even gardening. According to Dante, I believe this is somewhere in the 8th Concentric Circle Of Hell. I’m not at all perturbed. The moment I get to work on either the bathroom orContinue reading “Tuesday May 12th #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Good Morning my Directors Of The Bored, Another week, another bath, another pair of jammies. This is not a political blog, so we’ll gloss over who is and isn’t coming out of Lockdown. I don’t think anyone really knows anyway. For me, it’ll be when all the street parties break out. No wait, that wasContinue reading “Monday May 11th #LaughterSpreadsFaster”
