It's the biggest gig of the year in Church today, so Chris was up early setting up for the stand in vicar, who apparently is rather old and frail.
I'm looking forward to hear if there are disasters afoot
Btw You can tell it's Easter as some kind soul had given the sheep some stale hot cross buns to eat, I wondered who it was for there was also an uneaten battenburg cake on the field...Apparently Sylvia and Irene don't like marzipan.
As a treat Chris made me my favourite breakfast IN BED - a runny fried egg in a toasted bagel sandwich, which I demolished still lying in the supine position! It was blissful
I want a lazy, pottering type day today....
Anyhow I was just putting the " pillow of porn" and the " slippers of sex" in the washing machine on a cool wash ( see previous post for an explanation) when there was a sharp knock on the window.
It was a cheerful walker out with an equally cheerful terrier who wanted eggs.
" I haven't got one" I told him honestly
" I know you've eaten them all!" He quipped pointing to my chin
I have always had this ability to cover myself and/ or my person with uneaten food. It is a skill ai have honed ever since I was old enough to wave a plastic spoon around.
My "piece de resistance" messy eating story happened when I was in the middle of a savoury pie eating frenzy on the busy train from Oxford to York. I coughed then sneezed right in the middle of my second pie and unfortunately splattered two elderly bachelors who were sitting opposite with pork and cranberry filling.
In my experience you can only achieve a more destructive effect when sneezing whilst eating cornflakes......and I've done that too.....
Many times........

I'm such a let down

The Easter Lilllies in the East Window
It makes a change from Winnie's fanny going over everything.
ReplyDeleteIts touches everything like an elephant's trunk!
DeleteThat is so funny! I have been known to go out with toothpaste around my chops!!!
ReplyDeleteI do THAT all of the time too!
DeleteI heard on the radio today that there is a chemical used in factory-made cakes (like muffins) which is lethal to dogs, even in small doses - watch out for cakes on the lawn...
ReplyDeleteMy old dog finlay once ate a tiny bit of a discarded Mars bar when out for a walk and went bananas for 12 hours
DeleteI've forgotten the name of this 'food' chemical, but a R4 presenter's dog died after tucking into some shop-bought muffins. I think it begins with a z.
DeleteThat paints a frightening picture. Luckily I don't travel by train.
ReplyDelete"Apparently Sylvia and Irene don't like marzipan." - what's wrong with them? I LOVE MARZIPAN! but I have never had a battenburg cake.
ReplyDeletegood to hear the "sex toys" are being laundered properly.
will you be taking pictures at the church today? if so, clean up first!
I shall goand take a photo of the church lillies shortly when the church is empty...i promise to post it later
Deletethank you, dear; the lillies look loverly (ooooh, alliteration!). unfortunately, I cannot be around them due to my allergies; their fragrance makes me sneeze.
Deletespouse and I saw "marigold hotel" today; LOVED IT!
My friend with huge boobs removed her bra one night and a prawn head fell out! x
ReplyDeleteI loved this
DeletePrawns are slippery little suckers
One guy in my old psychiatric nursing group once sneezed during an induan meal and prawn shot down his nose
My mum once lost a heavy gold bracelet - 'til she undressed and it fell out of her knickers...
DeleteThere's gold in them thar hills
Deletebwhahahahahaha! 2 totally terrific tales (there's that pesky alliteration again!).
DeleteHappens to me all the time.
DeleteHahaha! Prawns in her bra!!! I once looked after a frail elderly lady and her daughter said to me I can't find mums false teeth, I'm sure she had them in last night but I have looked everywhere. I was helping the lady to have a wash and she was very well endowed in the boob department, when I lifted her boob up to wash her the false teeth were under it and had been digging in her flesh all night. I nearly just about had a fit trying not to laugh and be professional about it!!
DeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
Happy Easter to you both.
ReplyDeleteAnd a happy Easter to you Gill
DeleteI expect you will be cooking something nice?
Yesterday I accused the hubs of having mayonnaise in his hair. Turns out it was shaving cream.
ReplyDeleteI've gone out with both!
DeleteHehee!
ReplyDeleteMy mom is good at that - in fact, when we dribble food on ourselves, we call it doing an Audrey!!
I like that
Delete" doing an Audrey"
I think I shall steal it.
Hahaa, that would be great! ;)
DeleteThanks for the warning, John!!
ReplyDeleteI am an expert in getting food in strange places! I am well known for spilling food or dropping food. People even take bets on how long it will take before I drop food down myself. In fact I think people think it's my party piece! Love to you all.
ReplyDeleteNext time shiw us a photograph
DeleteElderly bachelors is code for two old queens? My partner often manages to spill food on his clothes. Don't worry about me, the washerwoman.
ReplyDeleteThey could have been
DeleteBoth men, as I remember wore shirt trousers
You never let us down! Wishing you a relaxed Easter Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYou too...are you travellling today?
DeleteI am home being quiet, very relaxed day
DeleteI am the expert in cultivating a 'mayonnaise grin' and yesterday I went to the farm supplies shop sporting part of a green mustache .... we had Kale smoothies for breakfast and Lovely Hubby didn't notice my new green accessory!!
ReplyDeleteI had spoken to the lad on the till and the farmer that puts his sheep on our field before I discovered it for myself ... oh the shame ;-)
Sue, does sucky let you know you have a food beard?
DeleteShe does usually stare at anyone with food on their face, but she let me down this time!
DeleteI have a shelf for catching food which does not make it to my mouth, and that is my rather ample bosoms! Vx
ReplyDeleteSo have I vera...so have I
DeleteI was on the receiving end of sneezed mackerel once. I reacted with an Angela Lansbury sense of theatre.
ReplyDeleteMackerel is revolting on a plate.....let alone mixed with spit and phlegm
DeleteMy husband is the expert at leaving food stores on his person. I have asked if he's saving them for later. Ah, we all goof now and then.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderfully relaxing Easter Sunday.
Ive just sat through KING OF KINGS on the tv........what a drag!
DeleteI spill food often enough on myself that I tend to do a quick check if i'm leaving the house. Sometimes the check is too quick, which I discover only after returning home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the belly laugh.
Glad I'm not the only slattern in our bunch
DeleteOh My Goodness...
ReplyDeleteGreat story today.
I always have food my bra.
It is like I have two squirrel saving food for later.
Happy Easter
cheers, parsnip
The church is always so beautiful. Happy Easter to you and the Professor. Keep your napkin handy.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with losing yourself in your meal.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a messy eater that, at work, they bought me a keyboard that is dishwasher-friendly. Really!
You've got the beard to catch everything, though, so you probably don't need a keyboard like that.
Ah you favour the chin, I the breasts. Like an avalanche down my frontage. Except when I'm out and I can tie something around my neck, like a scarf which catches the debris quite secretly. There. I've confessed.

Try sneezing jellied eels. Please. I want to read about the results.
ReplyDeleteFood tastes it's very best when it's decorated your beard and/or clothing; that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
With me it's tomato sauce and white shirts. They are like magnets.
ReplyDeleteI love blogging about my more negative side......the comments always make me realise that I am not alone.........or even THAT bad
DeleteHappy Easter. I've just come in from shovelling snow-about an inch overnight! Probably another 6 or 7 weeks before we can plant anything here. I see the tulips are just poking their heads out of the ground. Our growing season is so for behind yours!
ReplyDeletePoor you! Glorious sunshine here!
DeleteFrom The Free Dictionary....
ReplyDelete"have egg on one's face"
Fig. to be embarrassed by something one has done. (As if one went out in public with a dirty face.) I was completely wrong, and now I have egg on my face. She's really got egg on her face!
She?
DeleteAh. I've been teaching my children to eat properly, but even they get a dispensation if they sneeze. That's an unstoppable force.
ReplyDeleteMy mother never taught me... Mind you she was a chain smoker
DeleteHappy Easter, John! Spring looks incredibly beautiful in your neck of the woods. We in the western United States are enduring a horrible once in a 1,000 year drought. I long for the verdant green countryside in your picture!
ReplyDeleteDoes Winifred have access to your bedroom at night?
ReplyDeleteJust wondering what else you may find on your face.
Would you even notice?
Even I WOULD NOTICE A FANNY
Deleteloving the comments here!
ReplyDeleteif i have a capuccino while i'm out i nearly always manage to get a chocolate smear from the rim of the cup across my nose. and i never ever catch it before i am home again
I can elicit loud laughter amongst the daughters by showing up for dinner with a white shirt on.....they don't even wait for the first splatter of marinara sauce.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need to wear a welder's mask when you eat, in order to protect those around you.
ReplyDeleteI can be a real slob, but I usually eat very neatly. It's a weird quirk.
Richard Pryor once said "Chinese use two little sticks for their food, don't drop a speck. N***** lose 20 pounds of food with a knife and fork."
ReplyDeleteThe only trouble with 'Breakfast in Bed' (only?) is not just the crumbs and detritus getting onto and between the bedsheets but also that when you've eaten, if you want to get a further bit of shut-eye you've got to get out of bed anyway to brush your teeth. All little annoyances with which you'll be familiar with, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter John, you do make me laugh, and continue to educate. Who would have known that sheep don't like marzipan !!
ReplyDeleteTwiggy x
I hope the spilt food tendency doesn't get too out of hand, or you'll end up looking like Father Jack.
ReplyDeleteNever mind the egg in your beard I am blown away by the celandines in the churchyard.
ReplyDeleteI cover other people. It's much more satisfying. My mother suffered during her visit from a covering of tea by moi. She said I'd always been clumsy.
