I have made two more posts this weekend about eating. I wonder if my readers assume that I am interested only in food; this is not the case, I enjoy drinking too. I do feel to correct the impression that I may have given of a weekend that involved nothing other than culinary pursuits I should mention that I built a patio heater.
Putting together such an item might not seem a noteworthy achievement, but is because you are probably a practical person with positive common sense. If you look up cack-handed in the dictionary you will see a picture of me. Let me give you an example: I once put up a spice rack; it was not at 45 degrees to the horizontal and to this day I will argue that it was closer to 90 degrees than 45. However, I accept the fact that I had to demonstrate this to unbelievers did mean that it was not as straight as it could have been.
On Saturday night we used the patio heater and no one died from gas inhalation, no one was burnt to a cinder by flames that erupted from the sides, it did the warming thing and nothing has fallen off it. I am slightly proud and very, very surprised.
