A bit later she tried a class in plastering. This time it was full of young men. But they were all married and wanting to learn skills in order to do up their first house. The result is that my daughter is still single but can now do some woodwork and some plastering and rendering. This is very useful because she's bought a house in need of some attention. So forget the men and learn to do it yourself.
This post cracks me up

Tell your daughter she should do some volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. That way she can use those skills and maybe meet some young men
