Ove’s wife decided in principle that she’d let Ove repaint one of the rooms in their house every six months. Or, to be more exact, she decided she wanted a different colour in one of the rooms once every six months. And when she said as much to Ove he told her that she might as well forget it. And then she called a decorator for an estimate. And then she told Ove how much she was going to pay the decorator. And then Ove went to fetch his painting stool.
