My wife is spending the day grouting the bathroom tiles (she finished tiling the walls a couple of weekends ago) so I need to find something to do that keeps me out of the way. I decide to wash and polish her car because I know how much she likes her car to be clean, and it’s absolutely covered in mud at the moment. I spend two or three hours washing, drying and applying wax polish to her little car, and I’m completely knackered by the time I’m finished – her car looks really good, if I do say so myself!
I get the logs in, light the fire and vacuum downstairs while my wife is clearing away the grouting tools, and then we go to Mundesley to get a chilli cheeseburger (me) and battered cod (my wife) from the American diner for our dinner, accompanied by my wife’s youngest son, his wife and our youngest granddaughter.
