Dear Doctor,
I appear to be suffering from
a strange affliction, can you help me please?

On several occasions recently
I have found myself standing in my garage swearing at inanimate objects. It
started with a strange collection of items which had mysteriously gathered
there. A dead car battery, Random bits of ply, a bag of compost, a couple of
child seats and any number of bikes. I swore at them very loudly but they
refused to budge.
Then after a few days an
enormous slab of MDF appeared, I swore at it too but it wouldn’t listen to
a word I said so I chopped it up.
The next thing I knew I was
shouting at my pencil. Well I would have shouted at it if it had shown
its pointy little stick-like face long enough, but in its absence I was
forced to shout at the memory of a pencil. Not a real pencil, just an accusation of a pencil.
When it did turn up it was broken,
and every time I whittled it to a point, it snapped.
Then I snapped.
I do not know what makes me
go out there. I’m sitting cosy and snug watching Homes Under The Hammer and the
next thing I know I’m Out There, freezing my nadgers off.
I’m getting seriously worried
now, the latest episode has involved sharp instruments and torture.
Some of my ply bits are
keepsakes, reminders, fragments of memories, remnants of loves lost.
Some are from an unmentionable episode during the early days of
Katie Beardie. There are some dating all the way back to sweet Caitlin, ( be still by beating heart) with her sensuous curves. I know I saw a shard of Polythene Pam, which pierced my heart like a stilletto.
Now I've began to wrap them round the MDF in
a sordid contortion of an embrace which seems to cause loud grunting sounds and
more swearing.
I’m really not sure where
this will end!
I’m getting these sudden
urges to go out and buy whole sheets of pristine plywood
and swear at it.
I don’t like doing things by
halves.
Can you help me please.

Well, I wasn't worried until you admitted to pencil abuse. That's a very hard place to come back from.
By way of positives, I can only remind you that if the weather was warm you'd be even worse, and you'd probably miss Coronation Street as well.
I think this half model of a boat you have built is far, far too big to mount on a wall anywhere in your house (which is what you do with half models) Your best bet is to build the other half so you can, row, sail or motor it.
At this point the most positive comment I can give is that the glass, sorry boat, is half full, not half empty - the rest of the filling is up to you LOL.
