For those who like such things.
Our protagonist (We'll call him Simon) goes though a life change in which he separates from his partner after rather foolishly speaking his mind to her.
He manages the separation, the custody arrangements and general separation quite well, but enters swiftly into a new relationship, which becomes permanent.
However, Simon finds that his new life does not work the same as the old one did, and he is unable to earn any significant money, and in fact over a period of ten years becomes increasingly impoverished, and depressed as nothing seems to work for him..
The final straw comes when he is asked to give up the garage to his partners new (collectible) car and he loses his "workshop" where he can fix things and keep him motorbike safe.
Shortly afterwards he moves out of his partners house and attempts to set up house on his own, in which he is sucessful, but he is still dogged by lack of income, and some extraordinary and scary circumstances, which cause him to flee back to his partner (Since she is now spending most weekends there anyway..) and resume his life at her house.
After ten years have passed the car is finally removed and taken out of the garage and our man is unleashed at last.
The mystery for us to solve, is why has our Simon despite clearing the space and installing the motorcyle in the garage, NOT made significant progress with repairing it?
When I ask, he claims to be as mystified as I am. He says he does small bits, then just gets distracted really easily....
*It's Simon, 'cos I just read a post by him, and that's the pseudonym that my brain served up when I called for one.*
