 How about you?

					In the daytime:
 Go out into the garden and work there.
 
 Go to my workshop and make something.
 
 In the evening:
 
 Make a lovely gin based concoction, savor it, and repeat (Note: this doesn't make me less bored, but somehow I don't mind it any more)*
 
 Cheers

					Knit, stitch, read - repeat as necessary!
 I have so many projects on the go, it's not that I'm ever bored in general - just tired of that one project for a while.

					Hmmm....  Well, depending on how much time I have, I may surf the Web a bit, pick the banjo for awhile, mess around in the workshop for an hour or so, or go fly fishing for a few hours.

					I am very rarely bored.
 But, when I am, I do the following:
 
 1) Make a cup of tea.
 2) Read a book.
 3) Do a mental Socratic dialogue with the ideas in the book.
 4) Repeat as necessary.

					Play Guitar Hero, solve sudoku, go out to a local bar. Unfortunately I haven't been playing the real guitar since I started playing Guitar Hero. Ironic.
