    I knew we were off to a bad start when my OH referred to instructions as destructions, read the first 3 pages,  said,  yup I've got the idea of that and then didn't look at them again until it turned out.... he should have!

    Odd how you hear words all the time and never realise what they mean...Heard Finistere on the shipping forecast so many times and never clicked that it was 'Land's End'..

    Oh just think of it as an adventure and attack armed with good humor and a good toolkit. 😝

    I was weaned on the shipping forcast, because my late Father always had boats and we went deep sea fishing.  I have to say, my irritating Hubby has never had any problems putting up a greenhouse, or any other structure.  me on the other hand, I have NEVER been able o follow the written word, sewing machin,flat pack furniture its in another language to me.

    I have had my Toyota sewing machine some years, Hubby downloaded the manual, I had been threading it wrongly all along, (mind you ,it worked and sewed OK!!)
