Bob leads a busy life. Apart from his work as a television writer - 'I fill the gap between commercials' - he is something of a dab hand at DIY and everyone always seems to be wanting something done. In between making shelves for his ex-wife, his new girlfriend and his mother, Bob pauses to reflect on why his life is in such a mess. The break up of his marriage has caused him more pain and anguish than he had ever imagined.
