Gargling with brandy may help alleviate some of the boredom even if it may not be advisable for many other reasons (including overloading the NHS with liver issues).
more seriously I’ve spent some time trying to work out what to do with my tiny garden and can recommend finding some seeds to grow (fortunately we already have seed trays) and what plants I would buy if I could get them. Currently Claire Austin perrenials are hoping to deliver in 7-10 working days noting that this may change.My mum has an order pending as her birthday present from me, they have some fantastic plants if that’s your bag, or you could get into it.1 -
