Best Strength

The coldness of winter has got you by your short tails and you’re pfaffing around trying to decide what to do with yourself. You’re snowbound and the only thing that you can think to do is sit in front of the fire, drink your steaming hot mug of chocolate and stare broodingly out of the window. The only problem with that is, you’ve already done that and you’ve have had your fill of fires, hot chocolate and brooding.

Now you’re ready to do something different. So, you turn to the only solace you have and switch on the TV. You’re instantly riveted to your seat as you come across one of those many shows about how you can do up your home. You find yourself flooded with decorating ideas: interior decor and exterior decor, you name it and they’ll have it on the TV.

So, you finally find yourself entranced by something that you would have dismissed earlier and jump out of your seat to get a pencil and notebook to jot down all those great ideas. Before long, you’ve run out of room in your notebook and have to leave your comfortable chair to go get another one.

And before you get back to your armchair, you’ve made a quick detour around the house and have spotted many of the things that you’ve spent years trying not to see – the cracks in the bedroom walls, the growing patch of mildew in the bathroom, the paint chipping off many of the skirtings.

The list is endless and could easily cover several pages. So you dutifully sit down, and alongside your notes on various decorating ideas on interior design and general refurbishing, you studiously note down all the little things that need repairing, renewing or refitting.

The list naturally spans more than even your second notebook can hold but you decide to stop there, because it’s giving you writer’s cramp, besides you already have all the pertinent facts to hand, so now you set about sorting them out into directions that you can easily carry out.

No easy task that, when your decorating ideas, interior designs and room-by-room list of flaws is all jumbled up into one horrible pile. You then turn to the tried and true, age-old method of sitting on the floor and surrounding yourself with your notes in an attempt at finding some order.

When you eventually reach that sublime state of order, you lay back with a tired but satisfied smile on your face. The knowledge that you’ll now have enough decorating ideas and interior design plans and less time on your hands during those long hard months of winter, sends a gush of contentment running through you. There’s nothing like a job well done and the knowledge that come springtime, your home is going to look nothing like its shabby former self.
