Alternative perspectives
"There's no point in rushing things," is a well-worn Ulster phrase, and I could not agree more.
Take unpacking after moving house, for example. We Whites moved house last June. And I do not see it as particularly noteworthy that I only unpacked my last suitcase on Wednesday.
Vanessa, meanwhile, would see the world somewhat differently. She likes to "get things done."
And to demonstrate, no sooner was my suitcase unpacked than she had purchased a canvas clothes-holder thingy to fill the gap vacated by my suitcase (and a huge pile of clothes).
Given a bit of time - a few months at least - I might even have attempted to assemble it myself.
