A little light relief . . .
The good lady of the house has been at Galway for General Synod this week, leaving me to cope with things like imagining tasks for the cleaner and knowing where the alarm system manual might be for when the engineer called.
A Belgian friend sent me the following, perhaps a suggestion that I might not cope as well as I should!

Of course, in this age of equality, no-one would object if a similar list was drawn up for women, would they? 🙂
Haha . . I dare you to give it a go! “having a boy look” is a common phrase in our house .. men just can’t find things that are right under their noses. And mine has big trouble with the word ‘IN’ can’t get things in the laundry basket or in the bin! Good luck on your own and remember . . there’s always pot noodles!
Go on I dare you. Write the list! 😆

The reason we cant find anything is that our other halves are always putting things away in cupboards or drawers, and I’m sure that they get things out when our backs are turned and tell us that ‘it has been there all the time cant you see’ Ha Ha and this one will wind the ladies up….Day 2 BASIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN YOUR MOTHER AND PARTNER .. There isn’t they are both women!!!!!!!!!!
A further thought on toilet rolls, why do women seem to always hang them with the end against the wall
