WIVES AND WOOD - stories

[Pete J]

Well -


Some time ago my significant other said we needed a new spice rack in the kitchen because the one we had was too small to accommodate all the bottles.
Just yesterday, I completed a new rack based very much on the existing rack but wider and with an extra deeper shelf to accommodate the larger spice bottles. It was done on the quiet over a few days as a surprise and put up in the morning while she was at work. As she now works only a couple of k away, she came home for lunch and was given a bottle of spice wrapped up as a present (strange sort of present she must have thought!).

I said there was another present which she would find sooner or later, but in the manner of being stable blind, she didn't notice the new rack. My son then guided her with the "you are getting warmer/colder" scheme until she was standing in front of it. And then -

she carefully scanned all the bottles on the rack to see if there was another new spice!

Struth!

Firstly I'M allowed to use the VISA but only if'n I can provide the ever expandin' for Christmas list from Victoria's Secret.

But in achievin' the sometimes impossible, a little license is given and it's off to Lee Valley/Lie Nielsen to gain some other nice goodies that 'Er In doors is happy to concede :eek: :eek: :eek: .

Such as the Low Angle Jack plane with the optional high angle blade that arrived today.
NOW wait for WW111 to start when the she spots the invoice for the card
