A week off work. Hurray! Sadly the week has been pencilled in for decorating so me and the missus have been getting down and dirty – and not in a good way...
I felt all manly at first as apart from prepping the big bedroom I also repaired the lock on the shed door by drilling through the two plates of the handle and bolting it in place. Hell, I even planed the door so it fitted better.
But two days in and any romantic notions I had about the benefits of manual work and skilled labour have rapidly disintegrated. It's hard work and it's bloody dull.
Fortunately as a journalist I know I can return to work and have a rest...
