I ask him to do one simple thing and he makes a mess of it.
What makes it worse is it’s his fault I’m here. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve asked him to not leave bits of his motorbike lying around on the kitchen floor. He tells me it was a front brake master cylinder I tripped over. I won’t tell you what I said.
The result – torn knee ligaments.
So I ask him to do my nails. Aquamarine I said. What does he do? Bright bloody red!
When I reach those crutches I’m going to kill him.
Mike

She ought to have known she needed to keep her eyes on him as he applied the nail varnish

Someone’s done it this time. He needs to hope she’s calmed down by the time her leg heals

I hope he gets his motorbike repaired soon, he’s going to need it to make his escape!
My yarn!

With a bit of luck she will have calmed down by the time it heals enough to catch him.

Get him a hearing aid. If that doesn’t work, well what will. Sensed a lot of anger here.

Oh, Michael! You’ve been snooping in my kitchen! Motorcycle parts, bicycle, any kind of tool or part. I finally cured him by gathering it all up in a sturdy box and hiding it in the basement, telling him I’d given it all away. I didn’t let him suffer too long, but it did convince him to quit using my kitchen as a repair shop 🙂

He needs a quick escape. He’d better get that motorcycle working real soon.
Nicely done … Be Safe
