You probably wouldn’tContinue reading “Monday 30th March #LaughterSpreadsFaster”

Directors Of The Bored, a happy weekend to you.

Morning, Directors Of The Bored, Let me get this right – only out for exercise once per day, no more than a group of 2, and maintaining that social distance. Well, that’s even the open air aerobics down by the Duthie Park toilets ruled out now too. Never mind. Welcome to my blog – comingContinue reading “Tuesday 24th March #LaughterSpreadsFaster”
