11th August, 2009 - 42 Home Improvements #4

I have completed the fourth of my 42 Home Improvements. (Regular readers already know that I am trying to make one small improvement in the house for every year of my life).

Tonight’s little tactical manoeuvre in the war against entropy was to hang a mirror. I know that this sounds impressive. I know that you are now looking at me in a new light: a light that highlights my rugged and masculine qualities. He – you are thinking – might make a decent model for the new Gillette campaign (the one for the new nine bladed razor).

It is less impressive when I tell you that the mirror has been sitting on top of my Significant Other’s dressing table for three and a half years. See – in one paragraph I have gone from hero and possible lifemate material, to a despicable and slovenly ne’er-do-well.

I hung it damn you.
