Seeing that, sat in my office in a very dreary England makes my heart ache. Good luck and fair winds to them all.

Build your own boat and sail round the world in it. Every schoolboy's dream..

Pity there isn't an Ikea flat pack equilivant
that the wife can put together on a Sunday morning while I'm planning at the Red Lion.

I'd have trusted my Mum to do that no problem, she was a very capable woodworker; far more than my Dad, who was a very capable accountant.

Actually, that's unfair to my Dad, who rewired our house and serviced our car, so not at all like my boss for several years, who freely admitted to becoming a public danger if he picked up a screwdriver

I agree. Women are very practical in many different ways. When my wife used to sail with me, she invariably could "see" the solution to a problem way before me.

My mother was the technician of the family. She was the one who fixed the fuses when they went. This was done with electrical wire, a screwdriver and a pair of pincers. That, plus a hammer was the complete tool kit of the household.

When I came home from school one day, I discovered father had painted my bike with distemper paint. That was the only time the family could ever remember him attempting any kind of diy
All happy times though.
