Up B4 7 to get parked in town, jobs done, home via a garden centre for bird food.
After lunch DH took down the lights through the fruit tree that I don't like and began replacing them with a longer strand. 3 times I told him to 'stop' as he wasn't putting them where I wanted: but he continued, gaily on his way, not listening

. He was more interested in replying to a neighbour. When he had finished, I told him that I wanted them 'over there first' ..... he did apologise eventually

He even offered to unwind and resite them all 15 ft.
I let it go. We can add another length after the Sales ;-). Unless I shout he has this habit of shutting off .... when he's reading, on his laptop, watching TV
