at a door with the full force of my temper behind them will cause the paint to chip. Bother.

I have explained there are some things it's best never to stop me attempting to do, and going to a funeral is one of them. Going to see a dying friend for what will be the last time is another.

I have also explained, when discussing how I go about doing these two things, (which I'd rather not be doing on consecutive days, but have no choice in this matter) I do not need the first priority to be how to do them the cheapest possible way.

Some things are more important.

I am calmer now.
