So today, in the pouring rain, my dad taught me how to shovel, mix and pour concrete, in order to lay the foundations for our new garden shed.
It's an all-round education.
(Also, back-breaking work did *not* go out with the Victorian era. Shovelling rubble? With a spade that was around during WWII? Go, my arm muscles.)
