A Deadly Cup Of Tea.
Hi,
.
Today I am In Pain. Big Pain.
.
I had just logged on to write this blog, and Big H walked in and put down a cup of tea for me.
Without thinking, I picked it up, and took a big swig.
Suddenly, my mouth is filled with totally boiling water, and Pain Pain, and then the automatic reaction, which is to swallow it in order to get it out of my mouth.
I am Hurting.
I do not know how he managed to make it so ultra-hot but I am sure there is a Nobel Prize for Science hidden somewhere in there.
.
Now, I am sitting here, with the whole end of my tongue feeling hot, numb and yet tingling. It feels dreadful and the roof of my mouth and the back of my throat are burned too.
.
No, don’t worry, I have not shouted at Big H. After all, he had made me some sardines on toast with lots of chopped onions for lunch, just before he brought me the killer tea.
.
Thinking about it, it may have something to do with the cup I am using at the moment too.
It is the absolutely huge, pink one with the little girl painted upon it, that I bought in a charity shop because it was so unbelievably capacious.
Obviously, as we have three or four workmen around the house every day, we need to give them all regular, big cups of tea, and none of them would appreciate being seen drinking from such a girly cup, as they are all such huge macho chaps.
.
The house painters have been very happy so far today, because for once it is not raining.
They are definitely working hard and making the most of the rare sunshine.
.
Big H is sitting doing his usual Sudoku puzzle in The Times, and looking quite happy.
I think that he has finally come to terms with the fact that, given the state of his health, he cannot do much work around the house anymore, and that we DO need these men, who can help us get finally put to rights.
.
It cannot have been easy for him, but he finally accepted that living in such a mess for so long was getting to me big time.
Also he is sensible enough to know when his wife has just made him an offer he can’t refuse!
The Cosa Nostra has nothing on us wives when push comes to a bloody good kicking!
.
My poor tongue is still hurting so I think I shall go and stick it in a pint glass of cold water and cool it down.
.
As you know, I cannot use ice cubes to numb it because of course the fridge is kaput !
.
See Ya’
