Saying whether a glass is half full or half empty depends on your point of view. Whether you’re pessimistic or optimistic. I guess I’m a ‘half full’ kind of person.

But is it the same as being half finished?

I’m crap at DIY. But I keep going until the job’s done.

I hate ironing but I’ll carry on until the pile has gone.

Washing up does my head in but I’ll make sure it’s finished.

I wouldn’t dream of driving half way to work and then just stopping.

So why isn’t my wife the same? Is it a male/female thing? The hoover remains plugged in and left where it was last used. The milk is still on the kitchen side just above the fridge. The pile of wet washing has somehow got stranded on its way to the tumble drier.

There’s loads I could say about this but I’ll finish off some other time.
