This mystery concerns the male inability to multi-task.
Last Friday Joe arrived early with the intention of keeping our guest company and making sure she wanted for nothing. I gave him several simple instructions before I left for work:-
- hang out the washing
- put away the pots and cutlery I have already taken out of the dishwasher.
- light the fire once the sun has gone off the sitting room
- at lunchtime serve and eat the pheasant and vegetable soup I have left in the slow cooker.
I got home at four o'clock to find that he had accomplished just one out of four, and there are no prizes for guessing which it was.
