Jack came yesterday.
He sorted my vegetable garden and tutted because I hadn't eaten all the leeks. But that's not why I am in disgrace.
He planted some bedding plants and tutted because I had let one or two die.But that's not why I am in disgrace.
He checked on my car and tutted because I hadn't noticed that the glass had broken on one of the fog lamps. But that's not why I am in disgrace.
He wasn't very keen on the lemonade which I gave him which was far too "tangy" for his taste. But that's not why I am in disgrace.
So what I have done?
I made some leek and potato soup for lunch and didn't notice that one of the hooks had fallen off my utensil rack into the saucepan and I had served it to him.
That's why I am in disgrace.
But he's promised to come back next week so maybe I have been forgiven.
A post that really made me smile, in fact laugh. It is so real.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that is such a terrible disgrace! Soup sounds wonderful! I got your letter and will be replying soon.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm glad he'll be back next week. Maybe you can redeem yourself then, right...
ReplyDeleteI thought it was very funny, but I can see that he might have been a bit taken aback!
ReplyDeleteoh dear me...........never mind it could have been worse!!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I shouldn't laugh but.......
ReplyDeleteOh my! that did make me laugh - sorry Jack!
ReplyDeleteJack doesn't use a computer but he always wants to know what I have been writing so I shall show him this post when he comes. He will no doubt make comments about the lack of sympathy for him in the comments!
