Before preparing to apply her make up, she drank three of these Jagerbombs (for £10) thinking the harmless melon, cranberry and mocha (whatever that is) flavours would somehow neutralise the effects of the massive amounts of vodka they contain.
Subsequently, she appeared in the lounge in floods of tears, saying that she wanted to stay with her mother for the night. I reminded her that where her mother lives, no-one is allowed in or out after 21:00 hours, which led her to become even more agitated and insist that I was trying to make her eat spiders.
I managed to restrain her - difficult as this was given that she didn't have a stitch on - and not for the first time was grateful for the 'pin-down' techniques I learned while I was doing Youth Work on a Voluntary Basis back in the 80's.
Well, the present situation is that she is now relaxing in the conservatory with the small television I have installed for our viewing pleasure, while I am preparing Sunday luncheon - a delicious Fray Bentos pie. Tasty, nutritious and a delight to prepare (although it goes without saying that the tin ALWAYS needs to have the lid removed completely BEFORE cooking to avoid hideous Health & Safety ramifications. And remember, food must be piping hot before serving). I may make an effort to surround the pie with piped mashed potato, borrowing one of Fay's collection of piping bags to make this possible, even though this raises memories of how our son, Peter, used to refer to piped mashed potato as 'cavity wall insulation' whenever Fay did this as a treat for him and his pals on their late-night supper parties.

Ray, you're absolutely right, food must be served piping hot, these days you simply can't take any chances with the environmental health, (whatever that is).
ReplyDeleteHi loves, tell Fay I stick to Smirnoff only now Ray, I find it's the best way. A small bottle a day usually works fine, it keeps me even. (Not those funny litre ones, whatever they are)
