The "order" in which posts seem to progress on this board is very much like the manner in which I seem to accomplish things around the vicarage: Setting out to accomplish Project A, discovering that I need Tool B to do it, going on a search for Tool B which requires me to clean up Mess C, finding Something D, for which I had previously been looking in the midst of Mess C, doing whatever it was that I was going to do with Something D, and then being called to supper without having done the least part of Project A.

It all makes really good sense, if one follows the connections.

Sound familiar. Are you my long-lost twin brother?

A man who cleans up messes!?!?!?

Note: when required

But I know for a fact that it's not just blokes who create a set of messy blind-spots that only become visible (to the individual) when there is absolutely no alternative.

Father, you have such a realistic assessment of how things actually work, you would probably make a superb Project Manager.

In that I am too fat, too dumb and too ugly, I pray that you are not!

Father Steve, thanks for perfectly describing what happens when I garden, no wonder my borders and beds are always in a state of "work in progress".
