I’ve been absent for a month because things changed fast around here.  When I get a spare five minutes, I’ll tell you about it (and reply to your comments).  In the meantime, here’s a post that first appeared in 2012.

 

Saturday.  The scene: dinner time in the Bud House.

Spud:  What’s for dinner?

Tilly:  Bacon eggs pork sausages beans tomatoes leftover potato croquettes I found in the bottom of the freezer from when the kids were here in August because I’ve run out of hash browns and bread to soak it all up.

Spud:  Bacon?  But we had gammon yesterday.  Why are we having what is effectively the same meat again?

Tilly [Not bothering to put up a fight she knows she’ll lose]:  Fine.  What do you want instead?

Spud:  Sandwiches.  Got any ham?

Spud:  Do I have to have bacon?  I had ham yesterday and gammon the day before.

Tilly: [Previous bracketed comment refers]:  Fine.  No bacon.  Just the pork sausages?

Spud:  Great!

    Spud's asers and decisions are spot on and show a young man with a definite idea on what he likes. Well done Mr Spud …you made me laugh:))

    You didn’t put up a fight simply because you knew logic would be to no avail? Hamming it up would not bring home the bacon, and bangers would be even rasher.

    Oh my! This is too funny!

    As for your English breakfasts. We had them more than a couple of decades ago when we went to England for the first time. The kids were absolutely awed by the English breakfast, especially the bread fried in bacon fat. The kids thought they were in heaven.

    It was such a wonderful treat to find this treasure when I opened up wordpress. Linda you are an absolute tonic. Your acute observations of human interactions are priceless. I can’t wait for the next installment. Thank-you for cheering my day.

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
