My next husband will definitely be hen-pecked. Everyone laughably assumes my present one is, so I may as well have the advantage of exchanging illusion for reality.
This means he will be able to mend a fuse. Being good about the house is the essential ingredient of the manageable male. All these pretensions to having green fingers as an excuse for spending the morning in the sunshine and tramping in from the garden in muddy boots are really no substitute.
As a career woman, it has always been my dream to be married to a handyman. Women whose husbands are relaxed about rawlplugs don’t know what worry is. I would sleep peacefully at night with anyone who could tell a pair of pincers from a wire cutter. Apart from the blissful convenience, I could really at last begin to live it up.
If you are buried in the depths of the country as I like to be whenever I can, it costs you a fiver just to have a bolt put on the shed door or to bribe the nearest plumber to come and look at a dripping tap. I calculate I could have a trip to the Solomon Islands every year out of the money we will save on the washers my new do-it-yourself paragon will whip on and off our taps.
My next husband will not say every time I get out the travel brochures: "I do love England in the late summer; don’t you think it would be nice to holiday at home? The garden is at its best then. " I know what that means: staying up half the night cutting up his glut of runner beans for the deep freeze.
Being a handyman, he would, of course, be an expert cook. It would be he who would rustle up an omelette at midnight after a heavy day. And he would not believe that every cooking utensil in sight was expendable. I would never again have to curse the friend who once told us that the only way to do steak was in a totally dry, red-hot frying-pan. I like charcoaled steak as much as anyone, but it comes expensive when it means charcoaling the entire kitchen too. I shall relinquish without regret the record I at present hold of being married to the only man in Britain who has ever managed to burn a boiled egg.
After long and mature consideration I have come to the conclusion that the next man I marry will be a hairdresser. Any husband who cannot back-comb his wife’s hair is not worth his salt. This will mean that I will be able to go into every serious T. V. discussion completely light-heartedly. It won’t matter a damn what I talk about. My friends will all ring up to remark: "Saw you on T. V. last night. Your hair did look nice. " [br] According to the author, having green fingers sometimes______.
