Don't worry - it passes in time. I used to be very fond of brush fondling in B&Q - i'm sure they have cctv footage stored somewhere.

Would love to see your allotment with nicely planted poles.
Is your wife being to nice to you lately ?

Mike,

You jammy git; an allotment; a bolt hole from the Missis (mine's the Fisherman's Pub).  How long were you on the waiting list for?

There's a bunch of allotments about 100 meters from where I live, but I suspect the waiting list is about 20 years (at least), so I have to make do with a small veg patch; a corner of the garden that Wor Lass allows me to use ; and I had to fight to get that!

Anyway, are you insinuating you're becoming a (train) 'spotter' with all this DIY?

Yes there is a cure for WFP sickness.  It's time.

Give it a year or two and you will be thoroughly sick of pointing a stick at windows. Yes the sticks get a bit lighter and yes harvesting rainwater is a good idea but when you boil it all down it's still a mind numbingly boring way to make a living. You will get the old squeegee out and love using it again.
