The Quandary

I want to do summat but I don’t want to do nowt. The double negative always gets in the way of life’s little pleasures especially when you don’t want to make the effort.

That was John’s quandary as he stretched his legs in his activity chair. Should he lean back a little or lot? Should he lift the leg rest? Should he make his chair the ultimate recliner by adjusting both? Perhaps he could propel himself into the rest of the day by pressing the button that lifts him out of the chair but he didn’t want to do nowt.
