Uncle M - what is he doing now ?

[Barman]

It will be done... there has been a decree... 

Nisi, Absolute, or simply the usual "Or Else"?

The latter... joins a long list of jobs tho.... 

That's all right then ..... I like lists of "Jobs that must be done" ..... You can pick your task of the day/week/month/year to suit your mood and then there is always the "I'm actually planning the task and seeing what I need to order ~ No point in going off half-cocked" option followed, after a suitable delay (about a month), by the "I am actually sorting the priorities as we you speak" which should always precede the "Please make up your bloody mind, I can't do it all at once you know" throwaway remark as you head for the pub.

Precisely...

Do you have one with extended warranty?

Why doesn't he just abseil down the building with his paintpod in hand ? 

Not practical Miss D ....... Abseiling down the building whilst holding a paintpod is strictly a one way trip ... then he has to climb up again to abseil down to do the next strip of painting. Now if he were to bungy jump from the roof, paintpod at the ready, he could get several strips painted as he bounced up and down before he needed to climb back to the roof. Takes a man to think through the practicalities you see.

You would have to cover the windows first though, surely ?
Note - I did NOT say Shirley

Of course I would... I'd thought of that already....

No Shirley ~ he would leave the windows open and paint the rooms en passant

Do his windows open inwards then ?
Cos if they open outwards, he would end up painting the inside of them, not to mention leaving patches unpainted where the windows covered the wall...

I wondered why my ears were burning.

The outside of the house does need repainting. I'll get a man in though.

Been doing a few jobs around the house but I will probably get someone in to do some work there as well. One of my neighbours has recommended a lady painter and decorator. So I might get a woman in.

Had to give up swimming for a while, I slipped over in the kitchen and wrenched my shoulder. Still got a twinge but I'm back down the pool now every morning.

Joined the Ware U3A group but still not sure, the groups are full of old people.
