Rings

The builder told me to remove the metal rings that screw over the door handles before I oiled the doors and all I did was to unscrew them and leave them hanging in oil's way. Of course they got covered in oil which I didn't make the time to clean off before it hardened. But this evening Secondborn came round on one of her regular visits to make sure I'm OK. She's completely brilliant at meticulous repetitive perfectionism (she was probably the only child in the history of the world who enjoyed sitting on the kitchen floor making the fridge door shine) so I handed her the task I'd been too impatient for. Sure enough, only two of the 10 need to wait for her next visit.

And it was great to see her.
