I helped a little SORT in Sainsbury's the other day as she could not reach a bag of vegetables on a top shelf. Felt WELL GOOD reaching in and giving them to her.

Wielding an angle grinder to cut the exhaust off our boy's car. Who wouldn't feel like a god with all that noise and sparks?

Took up my Victorian wooden floor, repaired the joists, put in the pipe for a new water main, got some reclaimed boards to repair some damaged Ives, relaid / nailed the lot back down, sanded & stained it - no squeaks

I'm an accountant by trade. Kate and Wills popped over to sample my hand crafted cheese board wares just last week (clients), and they were both simply agahst with both my lack of squeak, and genuine sense of ironic parody... oh how we all laughed whilst sharing a glass of chateau le ponce.

Which was nice.

In these snowbound times I popped next door to my 80 year old neighbour to see if she needed anything from the shops. She said she did so I gave her my list. After all no point in both us going out in this weather!

Meade Jr laid his first painfully forced out brown nugget this evening. I stepped to the changing table, wept more with nasal despair than pride, and put the sickening pooball in its place. Mrs Meade thought i couldn't handle it, but she was wrong alright. I can't wait for the next one now. And for nothing to smell like that again.

Built a patio. Dug out 12 skips of earth by hand, wheelbarrowed dozens of bags of hardcore, then laid large slate tiles. Got to use a cement mixer and stuff.

MANLY.

Stripped the paint off, and sanded, and varnished a Victorian set of 3 doors and wall panelling so it looks like Winston Churchill's library. Took 5 weeks.

Landscaped a garden, planted a lawn by seed, nurtured it and kept it, over the last 25 years, looking as well trimmed and fluffed as Madonna's muff.

I’m impressed that you know what Madonna’s muff looks like. Is it green.?

A few years back I drilled through a ceramic tile in our Cloakroom without cracking it, was a triumph but have now retired from such work...
