corner view ≈ work and play {on the 24/7 subject}

·
work and play seem to come in alternate peaks and bouts. if you're in for a sticky story, roll on! on  some people's request, i shall reluctantly let you in on how i tackled the cracked rolling pin. disappointingly perhaps, i used a figure of speech in a poor stand up comedy way. for no nifty, naughty nor fabulous solution popped to my mind, but good old trustworthy duct tape. {as decoratively shown here, on your left}

·
i did not age the tape as sue barker on tv always did, rendering it low tack by sticking it a few times to your own clothes. the pickle started when i could but find the painter's duct tape, not the hardwaring one. closing time in the diy stores, i had to make do with what i literally had on hand, which was soreness and a few misery bits of sticky tape. which meant the handle cracked further, like, when in a cartoon, the protagonist stands too close to the edge of the ravine, and the grounds underneath crumble away as he breathes. 
·
i felt a little like that unfortunate hero. 

·
the other stunning fact was i just needed rolling one last square yard of wall, before i was done for the day anyway. these things happen only when one feels tattered. totally uninspired, i ended up wrapping an old cloth over the handle, which unravelled as i frowned upon it, fluttering to the messy floor a few times, probably totally offended by my  unglamourous whispering under end of an exhausting day breath.

·
luckily we have two (!) decent sized diy stores at hand. when i say at hand, i should perhaps call it at foot, just a 5 minutes walk away. for a breather, rescue remedy so close to home works wonders. has done so, oh, numerous times before. the silver duct tape is my newest hero, sticking close-by, as i roll on.
