"Fix" washing machine- Washing machine "overflowed" in the week, it's my job to know why. Apparently.
- Discuss possible causes, get ridiculed.
- Decide that it's nothing more than generally blocked and needs a cleaner.
- Mix cleaner, administer, wait a bit.
- Discuss why it did not work a bit.
- Ignore discussion and go for something a bit manual.
- Get under sink, disassemble pipe "A".
- Find pipe "A" has water in it, pour into sink.
- Find towel to mop up under sink where you just poured all the water over yourself and floor
- disassemble pipe "B" that us attached to "A". being the "U shaped one.
- Remove two clothes peg and about half a sock's worth of lint"
- Do a little happy dance.
- Ask wifey how a clothes peg in let alone two made it into the sink?
- get reproachful look.
- get back under sink.
- reassemble pipes.

Trim the garden hedge- Try to avoid this one, but whilst I was on chore 3 MrsPdubyah has been on the intertubes and the local hire pool is open
- Wait for MrsPdubyah to change, since she wants to visit the burley man at the hire place
- Hire hedge trimmer, industrial sized
- Trim hedge to required standard and height, width and density.
- Only nearly cut myself.
- get sympathy.
- get told to get on with the hedge.
- get told to do the hedge at the back.
- get supervised.
- get told to do it some more
- get a drink
- get back onto the job
- get told to do it some more
- apparently "it's not even" is full and complete instruction on how to trim a hedge to a satisfactory standard
- massacre hedge out of spite
- get congratulated, how's that happen?
- take trimmer back, pay the man, have blokey laugh about the peace I've just earned.

Get Coffee- put petrol in car.
- order coffee.
- wait for coffee beans to grow.
- wait for cow to be born.
- wait until cow can produce milk.
- I'm sure Oil is made quicker than this.
- get home with luke warm coffee.
- MrsPdubyah abandons gardening in favour of a magazine.
- instead of music the gently whirl and beep of washing machine in the background
All is at peace in house, and all I have to do is buy some new bulbs and hide them for the next installment of change the bulb....
