we got time

@graeme-ogg Grameme; the expression of love can be confusing at times can't it?  Especially with a concussion.

Yes indeed. Especially when a spouse's obsession with refining and displaying their sporting prowess at every opportunity becomes an impediment to relaxed intimacy.

And of course it works both ways. When her occasional romantic advances have interfered with my guitar practice, more than once I have considered garrotting her with a No 6 E-string, but some faint residual glimmer of affection has always stopped me just in time.

It's an uneasy balance but it has worked for 42 years. Mind you, on this occasion if she'd gone for the scythe rather than the cricket bat, things might have taken on an entirely different complexion. (Well I certainly would have, that's for sure.)

@graeme-ogg Graeme you have touched on an important secret to a long marriage; always maintain a dull scythe.  However...if she does come at you again and you see murder in her eyes you could always take a hint from The Who and shatter a guitar over her head (NOTE: Do not then light her on fire).  Just tell the court you got carried away with your intense 6-string crescendo and she was accidentally in the way....you know....collateral damage.

Ah. That conjures up a delightful image of delivering lethal swinging guitar strikes to the head while playing "Windmills of Your Mind". (Or maybe "Knock on Wood").

Or even "Bend Me Shape Me" ...or even "Shattered" for that matter....but definitely not "Light My Fire."
