Last week a good friend of mine actually gave me the compliment of being a man of action when it comes to certain 'projects' around the house and garden. We now have a 5.5 x 5.5m deck in the back garden... however very little of it was down to my 'action'! Yes, the idea was mine - I'm good with ideas - but my lovely wife and my brother in law hatched the plan of all important action. Yes i dug the holes for the footings, but then i just stood around while Jake measured and positioned and cut and nailed stuff together, and while another friend set things out for the top... AHH but then i got to put 2 nails in every slat, over every joist, with an average of 6-7 hammer hits per nail... that's where all the work was! ...it looks like i talked myself into deserving that compliment after all!
Never-the-less i will take that compliment and bask a while in it! ...and perhaps I'll resolve to be a little more of a man of action around the place... if that were possible!
