There are many things that change in your life as you get older and marry.
You can be prevented from watching sport as often as you did, unless you have an understanding wife. You are accused of having a mid-life crisis whatever item you buy - especially a convertible. Your joints start to seize up or ache after sitting down for more than 20 minutes. Sometimes your back aches for no reason.
Then of course you suffer from that most middle aged, married and sad activity - bank holiday DIY and garden centre visiting. Can you guess what we did today then? Arrrrgggghhhhh!!!!! Thankfully we only spent a couple of pounds but have ideas for spending more.
Having said this, as I sat in the bath thinking of FW's suggestion of how to spend part of the day, my mind did think - "Oh no! Middle aged, married couple activity."
FW is outside, as I write, planting bulbs into tubs. She left the patio door open and I was getting a little chilly, while watching Roxanne. So I asked if she'd close it a little. FW grasped the door but it wouldn't move. I could see the thought going through her head - "It opened ok. Why won't it shut?"
"You should pull the door dear," I said.
FW looked and then her eyes brightened.... She'd been pulling the fixed window section and not the door itself.
DOH!!!!!!!!
