Short term glory, long term pain. You’ve set a precedent, whenever anything goes wrong around the house now she’ll expect you to fix it. Plus she’ll brag about it to her friends and offer your handyman skills to them as well. You’ll be the go-to guy when Lavinia’s dishwasher conks out on Christmas Eve. 😟😄

“What’s your favourite opening line to a movie?” asked my wife.

I thought for a while, then replied “I’ve come to fix the washing machine.”

This afternoon I have the onerous task of helping with the official opening of a community pub. I think I’m there to check the quality of the beer.

Hooray! After a general moult, and cold dark winter, one of my chickens has eventually started laying again. With a bit of luck, the other two will start again as well, and I can go back to being egg rich.  
Possibility of exporting small numbers to Russia, but I suppose sanctions will prevent me from becoming an “egg-oligarch “.

JUst seen one of the Polish pre-entries for Eurovision  
Song was shit but the Brunette singer wore the MOST inappropriate BDSM outfit and so when it comes to points she’d certainly be given one.

(I tried to take a picture but it’s all blurred - bit like me
