What's something that you're really proud of, which most people in your life don't know about?

And these:

- I know how to make a dovetail joint (that's carpentry, not illegal substances)

- I can change the wheel on my car if I have a puncture

- I can paint, wallpaper. make curtains and I'm really mean with a drill.  Need some shelves put up anyone?  Just let me get my spirit level out (that's a tool, not my daily alcohol intake)

All the times I smiled and listened to people and helped them out when inside I really needed some help myself, and no one guessed.

Last spring Emilio was in my front garden.  He admired the flowers: hundreds of daffodils, tulips and hyacinths.  Then he dug up half of them for the work I was doing on my house.

This spring Emilio won't be admiring the flowers.  He'll be underground in a hole someone else dug, like my bulbs.  And if anything grows from this strange seed it won't be among the vases of crysanthemums and the marble slabs.

Nothing makes a mockery of everything like the eyes of a dying man.
