#displacementactivity
When working from home I was visited by JW doorknockers. I was so short of face-to-face contact and desperate for displacement activity that they eventually said they had to be getting on and left. #DisplacementActivity #WorkingFromHome
I am told a family friend, during a particularly religious phase, ended up enthusiastically inviting JW doorknockers in and later pursuing them down the street to try and continue the conversation, which I assume is at the least an unusual outcome.

A friend of mine once descaled her toilet bowl rather than work on her dissertation. #displacementactivity

* well, not all entirely uprooted, I’m assuming nothing 😬🧟

Thanks, New Followers! I've just won the Battle of the Banner, so am feeling quite chuffed with myself.
