The point was that I do vacuum, though not as often and exactingly as W does (if I have not mentioned it, she takes the head off the hose and vacuums with the hose end alone, for maximum suction; she disapproves of my using the usual 'stick' extension, but I don't care). She, as I heard it, said that I never do, which is simply not true. When I asked d16 what I could give her a while ago, she said I could vacuum (!) and clean the house, so I do.
I do see your point, Bond, that she simply might not care exactly what I do cleaningwise.
I offered to do the laundry years ago, and she said "please do not", that I am not good at it. She takes over the kitchen when on vacation, as if she wants nothing from me. So my household jobs are mostly cooking on weekdays, when the women are out working and I have time to prepare food.
S20 really liked Selfish Giant, an excellent movie. He studies English Lit, so this literary/arty stuff is to his taste.
S20 likes our cats, his friends, his university, humor (Colbert, Stewart and the Onion are heroes), web stuff.
Our little town here is not the most exciting place. The car wash is actually a (for here) event of sorts...
Action: took son to car dealer's, where snow tires come off tomorrow, and then walked back with him through town, stopping at various stores, including his favorite, the cheese specialist, where we got some new smelly ones for him (he chose). He is much easier than either d16 or W to be with.
Big fun here is riding on multi-person railroad bicycles, the kids sing and we speed along, pick berries or mushrooms, picnic, talk, relax. W did not come on the most recent trip, fortunately, so I had a very good time.
