DIGGING (2)

I am halfway across the barn, and have laid new pipes that stretch that far. So today I filled in the big trench that I had previously dug. When that's done, I can start doing exactly the same with the other half.

During the 1930's, the great economist John Maynard Keynes was very exercised with the idea of paying workers to dig holes and then fill them up again. All I have got to do now is find someone to pay me.
