I can’t cut, measure or draw straight and I avoid touching power tools. When I need
to solve a problem I do it within the limits of my skills, concentrating on problems that can be solved with wool, paint or cardboard or a nice warm bath.
The view into my kitchen is too public. If I can just work out how to support the honeysuckle outside the window and make
it grow more vertical I could burn cabbage in privacy.
I pulled
out all my pieces of wood and screws and thought of things that I could make
that would support a trellis plus heavy plant. I knew this would take at least all
weekend.
My neighbour, alerted by the high pitched noises coming from my head, came over and suggested the sort of simple elegant scheme that only a man with a pneumatic
drill would think of.
And then he got out his pneumatic drill and made the
thing
And I have a whole weekend left to admire it
