Re: Dealing with boredom

I don't get bored, too many things to make ( a mess sometimes) it takes me a lot longer than used to though. I read a lot too.
Sometimes I sit and think, but I don't consider that boredom.

I just wonder what others here do to alleviate boredom
You reminded me of the old Naughty Poem, RS!

they bored their holes
in Telegraph Poles
and had to be contented."

Apologies for any offence!
