I Love Rainy Days

from the reflection series

My father was a tough man, but he was also my favourite parent and I tried hard to please him most of the time. I knew how to please my dad, by always going to him outdoors where he spent so much of his time, and offering to help him. I would always get the boring jobs, like sweeping up, weeding, scraping and cleaning paintwork, tidying up, and tasks like that. This exposed me to his brilliance with any DIY projects he undertook. As my compedence improved, my jobs would get better, eventually leading to the actual painting, planting, cleaning as such like. He taught me how to do so much DIY.
