I need wonder no longer as todays the day. Whilst pottering in the workshop this afternoon, muttering imprecations to the Chinese patron saint of lathe assemblers, and sorting out the saddle retention arrangements, which spectacularly failed over the Christmas break, causing the sort of dig in that normally breaks things, I had the chance to use the daughters Chrismas present.
When she came for lunch on Christmas day, her comments to me were, "I didn't know I was getting you this, I don't know what it is, I don't know what it's used for, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to use it, but Happy Christmas Dad". I have obviously reached an age where I can get really useful presents. SWMBO took me out tonight and forced beer and curry down me, didn't ask any difficult questions about interior decor, so I guess she does still love me.
