    Things to do while on the bench

    I've done all those exiting things I couldn’t do while I was working away from home last year.
    like:-

    Visit the dentist
    Take cat to vet
    Spring cleaning
    Return library books.
    Take old clothes to OXFAM (Might regret later)
    Bought new stings for old guitar.

    Now I am getting bored.

    Have I forgotten anything besides a brain check?

        Is Bach the guy who wrote "What shall we do with the drunken sailor" ?
        That was the only song the Germans asked me to play in the 70s

            Is Herman the German's pub still going in Brussels? Might have been called the Fontainebleau or something. Used to play there for beer at weekends.

                Watch "Deal or No Deal", "Jeremy Kyle" and maybe even a bit of the Roulette Television channel, then jump out the nearest window*.

                    either:

                    close the curtains from that awful spring sun and sign up for World of Warcraft

                    or

                    go for a drive into the countryside with Mrs BS and have a picnic one evening or something equally charming and outdoorsey
