Standing still and waiting is easy. Not listening and avoiding daydreaming… not so much. Charles’ ears are open as Francine tells his mother that she’d read the recent magazine article about Charlie which got her thinking about Michael’s future. “He’ll do quite well in his exams I expect. He’ll go on to do A-levels and possibly university too… but that doesn’t alter the fact that when he’s grown up and married, he’s unlikely to be the breadwinner and he’ll need some good practical housekeeping skills.” Francine explained that her husband didn’t have a clue about housework and even after all these years, he struggles to keep on top of it all. “I’ve talked to him about getting a nice housekeeper’s frock to encourage him, but he’d refuse to wear it… he does wear his tabard mind.” she added.
