From the other day:

wife: I think I’ll prune the hedges today
me: I can do that, remember you cut the extension cord last time?
wife: I won’t do that this time, I’ll be careful
me: Are you sure? (with a lot of doubt in the voice)
wife: Don’t worry

10 minutes later

wife: Erm, I cut the extension cord…
me: What?
wife: It just happened…
me: Hmmm... Let me continue pruning.
wife: No, I can manage, bring me another extension cord please.
me: Ok but no more, you know…
wife: I promise

5 minutes later

wife: Erm, I cut the extension cord again…
me: You must be joking (in a badly disguised angered voice)
wife: No…
me: I’ll put the gear in the shed and continue pruning tomorrow
wife: But I want to continue and…
me: No, no and no!

Silence

The end

So much for German efficiency and planning!

Is it better to have a few extension cables that you can join together rather than one long one? :giggle:

I have never managed to cut through a cable - just saying.
 
Because you started cableless from the beginning? :D
Nah, just careful. Learn't at a young age about that electricity stuff. When I was very young I had a snap together boat kit that ran on an AA battery. I thought if it spins quite fast on 1.5v what will happen if you put the two wires in a socket. Apparently it spins really fast for a second, then gets quite hot and then explodes leaving a scorch mark on the wall. 🤔

Just to clarify, yes I have intentionally cut through a cable but never accidentally cut through a live electric cable.
 
My wife was always a "computer games are a waste of time" sort of person. Friend lent me a few SNES cartridges and FFV was one of them. We now have PS1/2/3/4 because she MUST have the latest FF game. Still has about three on the go and some still not started. Retirement was just an excuse to play games!!
Kinda off-topic but Square Enix is releasing new versions of FF 1-6 to steam and mobile. 1-3 are coming end of this month and 4-6 later this year. Your wife should check them out if interested. ^^

Cant wait to play the first one for 35th time! They even have achievements! 😛

 
She already has a new career playing some dragon game and Final FantasyXV - both need an internet connection! If you want to see the definition of obsessed, suggest a day out and then she will start looking to see how populated somewhere is and therefore how good mobile phone (hotspot) coverage is! She was also a I don't need an iPad but now trying to get it out of her hands…

Did offer to get the FF bundle for her birthday the other week but she declined.

I have tried them but not my sort of game but can appreciate why they are so well liked.
