You said it, matey!

I have been perfecting "the Stare" even more since lockdown along with "the sigh"! He has responded with "I only asked" and " I am only saying"!

Oh, ok, I do recognise the scenario!
Although DH's vision is ok since he had his cataracts done I do get the occasional 'I don't think this piece belongs', 'there aren't enough edge pieces', 'can you do some of this sea/sky' etc.
And one piece was missing from a brand new puzzle - yes, I moved the furniture etc but we never found it!

I'd just tip him into a wheelbarrow and take him to the shed.

Then, padlock - problem solved!

Hmmm. I could be shooting myself in the foot there, Calli.

DH has no peripheral vision so I can just picture the scene - and it won't be the one on the box lid.

'Do you think this bit's a tree or a potted plant?'

'Why is there so much sky? How am I supposed to tell one bit of blue from another?'

'Can you put the light on?'

'Any chance of a cuppa?'

'Oh dear, I've just dropped an essential corner bit. Would you mind?' Better not answer that!

I think I'll just wait for the wind to die down and then direct him across the yard to his Man Shed.

Does he like jigsaw puzzles?
They keep DH out of my hair occupied for hours.

Tell him your having a duvet day and do it!
