Default what manly thing have you done today

well i fixed the car and the lounge light (being tall helps change lightbulbs)
so now mrs giggles can stop moaning on about it
soon i shall go into the garden and burn some rubbish (ugg man make fire) which i shall pointlessly poke with a stick

so what manly job shall you be doing today
and what is your definition of a of a proper manly job
were talking opening that vice like jar for your better half or heaving that 20 ton stone "feature" she wants right at the back of the garden

I have just eaten a Bananana. Does that count? Sadly my day job doesnt involve many manly tasks and come to think of it, i didnt carry out anything remotly manly at the weekend either...no hang on, i topped up the oil in the bike and pumped the tyres up for its journey to work on Wednesday.

As for the definiton of a manly job. Anything that involves dangerous tools. Angle grinders, chain saws and suchlike

I took such a stinky dump just a while ago that the men at work have started using the ladies toilets whilst it calms down.

Tonight I shall go to the gym.

Re-leveled one of the kitchen cupboards, new rawplugs, screws, drills and stuff. Must admit at this point that the better half has almost single handedly remodeled the whole kitchen, what a star.

hmmm what manly things did I do today.......

Lazed in bed until 10am, excuse, baby was playing nicely with his toys on there
Ordered two mechanics about and made them recoil back to their pits in horror
Much walking of hills(well I am in Yorkshire)

Finally........





I opened a LARGE bag of Cheetos I found in the Polish shop, shared a few, and scoffed the majority to myself

I took bungees off my bike and consequently got oil on my hands, does that count? I also had to momentarily stop at the side of the road while I figured out why my throttle was proving to be so stiff (grip needed shifting round to allow the cable more travel)...that a manly fixing thing?

Fortunately I counterbalanced any manly activities by buying a pair of fairy wings, baking cheesey scones and break bread and tidying, I am glad balance has been restored

Woke up, shaved, put suit on and went to the office - leaving her to look after the kids, do some washing and tidying, have the dinner ready, and maybe even tie a ribbon in her hair for when I get home.
