Doing manual work. The Joy of the artisan
God I'm i-phone this, release the bats that, aren't I? Anyway, most of us are or will become Desk Drones of some sort no matter how good our jobs our. i have a busy interesting responsible job but I'm not being physical and Im not techincally creating something. Wouldn't you love to be some sort of artisan making furniture or clocks or building walls or painting friezes or something? Surely its better for your health to be physical with work? i know of course real hard manual labour would kill most of us (PROLEFACT: I did actually work on a building site for 4 weeks after leaving school but got laughed off for bringing an umbrella to work one day), and for past generations it has broken many a stronger man through bouts of privation and poor nourishment. So, who'd want to get their hands dirty for the sake of their 'craft'?
