Egg On My Face

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'm such a let down

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........
Hey ho

  3. I 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...

    2. I'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.

  5. "Apparently Sylvia and Irene don't like marzipan." - what's wrong with them? I LOVE MARZIPAN! but I have never had a battenburg cake.

    good to hear the "sex toys" are being laundered properly.

    will you be taking pictures at the church today? if so, clean up first!

    6. Hahaha! 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!!

  11. I 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.

    Elderly bachelors is code for two old queens? My partner often manages to spill food on his clothes. Don't worry about me, the washerwoman.

  21. Nothing wrong with losing yourself in your meal.

    I'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.

  22. 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.

  32. Sounds like you need to wear a welder's mask when you eat, in order to protect those around you.

    I can be a real slob, but I usually eat very neatly. It's a weird quirk.

  34. The 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.
