Spillage be gone!

I was reading the paper in the kitchen Sunday morning (after the tall fella's delicious pancakes) when I heard an odd sound and in some surprise saw him taking the drill to the mixing bowl.

I got this bowl in an IKEA starter box close to 10 years ago, and for all that time it's been irritating me: when it's upside down in the dishwasher, its base fills with water that spills everywhere when you lift it out.

Not any more. Now its base is ringed with neatly drilled holes, and water drains out straight away.

A man of action.
