Exotic chores like washing clothes, ironing, etc. never occur to him or it they do. he quickly casts out the idea as impractical. But let's be fair .- it's not that the dear boy isn't willing. I only have to suggest that something needs doing and he leaps to do it. but long before he gets to its actual execution he will have driven himself to exhaustion and me to foaming among the pillows. For example, I asked him to peel ""N potatoes for dinner. Now Ken always has to use the right tool for the job and the potato knife was missing. When he found it, it was blunt -- it had been used for cutting down branches. Ken decided to sharpen it with the Whetstone so he went off to our neighbours to get it. Half an hour later he came back without the Whetstone, but triumphantly carrying the chamfered widget that he needed to finish the hot water piping By that time'I had staggered from what was tech- mrally known In my "siekbed" and done the potatoes, washed the nappies. and so on. But of course I wore my dressing-gown all the time so I suppose it didn't really count as being up. This rug- ged treatment certainly seems effective since I get over minor ills much quicker than other people who can enjoy being ill. I can bear ail this it I have to, but what I cannot hear is when my husband saw. "YouYe looking much better, dear - that's because you've had a good rest in bed." So if anyone wants to know what they can give me for Christmas, I can tell them.

Ken remembered that he was supposed to be doing something With her, wrapped her in a towel and dumped her on the bed, He said apologetically, "she wriggles so - rm afraid of breaking something off." T The main trouble with Ken, " with most husbands, is that he's easily distracted from the job in hand. I asked him to bath the baby. He got as far " dropping her in the bath when he thought of putting I record on the hi-fi. On his 'way back he caught sight ofa science fiction magazine he didn't remember reading, so he picked it up and glanced through it. Then Jade came in and mentioned high school cadets to her father (as I say. this was five years ago). At once he decided to show her how Let me tell you what hippened the list time I had a day in bed, Ibout five year: ago. It started on Saturday morning with my husband declaring that he would take over and that 1 had no- thing to do except lie there and get well.

In any event, by the time Ken was sufficiently awake to make his noble gesture, I had already been up an hour, changed the baby, organ- ized breakfast and lurched back to bed.
