The imagination is so much better than the reality

Daily writing prompt
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.

Oh the plans I have, the solutions to everyday domestic inconveniences. The perfect kitchen,living room bathroom and bedroom. They never work out. Why?

I’m not really sure, lack of planning or lack of money, the interest is there but perhaps I’m a DIY failure. I’m good at demolishing and not good at building, so perhaps I’ve learnt best not to start a project.

I’ve recently noted that the overhead lights in the kitchen are useless when you are trying to chop up vegetables in the kitchen after dark. They point in the wrong direction even though they are adjustable. I have my back to the light and basically my head casts a shadow on where I’m trying to cut neat little cubes of vegetables. It’s very frustrating, particularly when I move to the left and the light shines on my not so neatly cut vegetables.

Still I always say to myself ” there’s more important things in life”. I suppose there are, but at that particular moment of not being able to see what I’m doing, I really am apoplectic and it seems that the World is so unfair.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏
