Unfortunately, our coffee table is rarely visible due to the number of things we have in regular use, but I'm totally sticking with that logic.heybartenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916319179509954795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-500108829221617442010-09-30T19:43:18.725+01:002010-09-30T19:43:18.725+01:00What I get from my woodworker is, "Sure, I ca...What I get from my woodworker is, "Sure, I can do that." Wading through the clutter in the garage prevents him from getting around to any of the projects he assures me would be no problem for him to do for me.

Seeing me bricklay, Dave might be surprised at my sudden insistence on perfection.<br /><br />"I hold your hand in mine, dear, I press it to my lips" - indeed, Rog. And he didn't sing 'Lead kindly light' whilst clambering on to the church roof.<br /><br />Chris, dear, I think of you and your pain constantly, and with sympathy. When I had a bad back, I could only lie flat, for a limited time - bed was too soft, it had to be the floor - or stand for a while, or walk. It was exhausting. I do hope you'll be better soon. I shall channel mental energy through your attentive cat.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-7086171527324706032010-09-27T17:34:59.350+01:002010-09-27T17:34:59.350+01:00"he nipped down to the churchyard with a saw,..."he nipped down to the churchyard with a saw, pruned a yew and turned the knobs on his lathe"<br /><br />Very impressive.

The cat came with me, just to see all was well. This is largely attributable to you.
