Bonnie is sooooo bored. It’s the summer holidays and she is fed up with her parents’ vague suggestions of things to do while they work. Why are parents so annoying? She heads out to the garden, only to find Shelly ready to offer wisdom about the ‘gift’ of boredom. Can Bonnie make sense of this puzzling advice? Is it ok to be bored? Can boredom take you to places you never imagined? Listen to find out.

Highlights include – the divorcee frogs singing a song about boredom (which is anything but boring), a magical bug hotel and Shelly confessing to doing something dangerous with cheese.
