I have a fairly miserable day – my wife takes the dog for her walks (relieving me of any responsibility) and then busies herself with housework, whilst I vegetate on the sofa in the lounge. I try to motivate myself to go down to the allotment and do some weeding, but I’m really struggling to get myself to do the simplest thing at the moment. The only time that I venture outside the house is to put some rubbish in the bin outside our back door. I do try to make myself useful by setting up some stocktaking software for my wife’s soft furnishings business, and I plan to go over to her workshop in Hevingham on Tuesday to make a start on her stocktake – it remains to be seen whether or not I’ll manage to do so!
I reply to a few emails and messages on social media, and order a couple of items on eBay (a screen protector and carrying case for my new Samsung tablet), and then manage to prise the vacuum cleaner from my wife’s hands so that I can vacuum downstairs (and make myself feel a little less useless).
