    If it's suitable for tomorrow:

    To run round after elderly relatives

    OR

    To eat too much rich food.

    (Somehow I also think I've heard of swaging a lead pipe, which involved a blowlamp, but I hope I'm not doing that tomorrow.)

        And when your back stops aching,
        And your hands begin to harden.
        You will find yourself a partner,
        In the glory of the garden.
