I had just finished congratulating myself

on making eight perfectly identical cuts.

Pity they were all 100mm too short.

Sometimes I wonder how I manage the laces on my shoes. Perhaps I should
switch to velcro before that skill goes too.

Just the wooddorking gods letting you know your project was improperly
dimensioned. Pay attention, and scale your plans down accordingly.

And tell her what sex it should be, and what to name it while you are at it.

In for a penny, in for a pound..... :-)

I often read the wrong side of the inch mark, almost exclusively when the
measure is running right to left instead of the normally marked left to
right. You get used to reading more than a specific inch reading as being
to the right side of the inch marking.

make it smaller....
