Shed Envy
19th August 2011
If you’re a man and you crave a big shed, a haven from the house, a place to organize your tools, listen to music, polish your vehicles, then I have to warn you that this Watts Happening may upset you. It may even lead to Shed Envy.
When it comes to sheds (or garages), Gary seems to be living the American Dream. He has everything he needs here: a fridge with soda (I know beer would be preferable for some of you, but the infrastructure’s in place,) Western music playing on the stereo, cars, motorbikes and boy stuff to admire, stroke or tinker with. This is it. The ultimate. He could run master classes and become the Shed Guru.
While Gary’s in his shed, Patsy looks after the home; she makes amazing patchwork quilts, cooks fab food and knocks up the tastiest milkshakes in America (possibly the world.) Her particular specialty seems to be Rocky Road milkshakes. They should really be called Slippery Slope milkshakes; just one will get you hooked and then nothing will save your waistline.
MFN seems to have merged both worlds remarkably well in the short time he’s been here. Gary will have a milkshake if Kieran’s having one, so, of course, it would be rude of Kieran not to.
Here he is, tucking into his RRM while taking lessons from the Shed Guru as the sun goes down over Denver.
