Today’s sentence: “Why does this taste like mint?”
Gran liked to have sets.
She had sets of glasses, sets of plates, sets of bowls, saucepans and cutlery too.
She said it was because she swore as a child never to have odds and ends when she was a grown up.
Half the time, they stayed in the cupboard, though she did keep a couple of odd things out for mixing her sauces.
Granfer liked his scotch, and Gran kept a special set of glasses for spirits in her tallboy.
Whilst she was getting supper, she asked her visiting grandson to get a glass and pour him a generous measure, asking for port for herself and telling the lad there was beer in the fridge if he wanted one.
Granfer took one sip and spat it out.
“Why does this taste like mint?” he demanded.
Gran looked up and immediately saw that her grandson had taken a glass from her kitchen, using the one she put her mint jelly in when they had lamb.
She was glad she hadn’t taken a sip of her port, as that glass was used for horseradish!

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too.
On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

Oops, a blunder you can expect from a grand kid. And no serious repercussions either.
At least there were no teeth in it!
Oh, yes. That could be definite possibility.
That made me smile
I’m glad.
