I’m Feeling Lucky

(Thanks to Catherine Browne)

I am currently quite bored. Recovering from a car crash and back injury.
Of your initial list, I have some problems with them.

* Go fishing… oh how I wish i could. But the back would suffer.
* Type two words at random into Google. You’d be surprised where you can end up. If you can’t think of anything to type try “What’s Cool” ….I tried this. I typed in ‘I’m bored’ and thats why I am here
* Sing (Bohemian Rhapsody is usually a good start).. well this usually needs at least the head banging bit to be acted out, and that hurts my back
* Phone up a friend that you have not spoken to for over a year…seriously, holding a phone for more than a minute hurts my back as well
* Visit a local castle… walking hurts my back
* Make some bread. Naan breads are great if you haven’t much time..now that WOULD be painful
* Do a jig saw… worth a try in short doses
* Read a book.. It hurst to hold a book for a while.
* Do something scary… As long as it doesnt involve the obligatory ‘boo!’ and a wave of the arms, I may manage that one.
* Walk up a hill… Hurts.
* Paint a picture… could try in short doses, with the canvas/paper flat rather than on an easel.
* Plant some vegetables.. hurts
* Plan a treasure hunt… could try this one
* Ride a bike… ouch.
* Learn another language… can you do this from an armchair? Could be a good idea! thank you.

My suggestions?
* watch the grass grow
* play the google earth flight simulator for a couple of minutes
* go ebay watching. Dont buy. Guess the final price of things. You can play with a friend and see who wins (dont gamble though!)

* Make up a joke
* Submit an idea (all submitted by Britney)
* Talk to a friend & go over
* Eat some cake

Sit in a chair. have a stop watch. look up the sky and click the stop watch when the cloud passes exactly over your head untill it is unseen. note the time. from that note the speed of the clouds.
