The funniest thing on television this evening was Better Homes and Gardens where the handyman made what looked like a really ugly spiral sculpture out of old bits of wood – some of which were painted black (as you do).

If you didn’t see it you don’t know what you missed. As he was putting it together, it was like an episode of Mr Squiggle where a few dots and lines on a page would be gradually joined together and then…ta da!…suddenly it’s a picture of an elephant (or a rocket ship). Except Mr Squiggle’s pictures always eventually made sense (once Miss Jane turned them up the right way)…whereas this little wood item left me asking of no-one in particular…”WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??”

And then when it was finally revealed I laughed.

Out Loud.

Quite a lot.

Apparently, Mr Handyman informed me very helpfully, that it could be used as either a kitchen stool… or a coffee table.
