Deedaa thank you for you concern for Digby, topping up his biscuit bowl seemed to restore his equilibrium grin.

Auntieflo lunch was practically done, but himself did dish up!

I hope Digby has recovered from the trauma smile

You put your boob through a quick wash, Auntieflo? shock

Evening Phoenix and all. My morning wasn't nearly as awful as yours, but not good. I was on coffee duty after Church, and one of the big flasks decided to splutter all over me and my new top and trousers. I had only worn the top for the first time today. Luckily I managed to get most of the stain mopped up, but I had soggy underwear and boob. After putting them through a quick wash, all is well. I hope you also had a large glass of wine or three, and Mutley cooked lunch. Some hopes eh?

PS He knows I struggle to reach that shelf, in fact if he had done the decent thing, as in "darling, let me put that book on the shelf for you, save you having to practically scramble over me, and risking the possibility of a knee in the testicles" the wine would have been saved, and Digby might have not suffered the trauma of such a rude and damp awakening!

grin Perhaps my expectations are wrong? I really, truly did expect some sort of attempt (however feeble and ineffective) at mopping!

Ha Ha, Nfk. That's exactly what I thought. grin

Nothing worse than being responsible for the spilling of a glass of wine....Oh the shame, Oh the waste.

Didn't Mutley have that horrible wheezy laugh? Or was that another cartoon character?

Changing his name seems reasonable. Buy stemless wine glasses.

Well it is important to have a glass of wine to hand, think he should be severely reprimanded for not refilling your glass grin

He just stood up? No expletives? Even though it was his wine? You're blessed!

The clue lies in the title : "his"

Afternoon all, hope all is well, and if not, sending every good wish.

I am considering changing Mr P's name to "Mutley".

Does anyone remember watching the cartoon series (with or without their children) called Wacky Races?

One of the principal characters was Dick Dastardly, with his dog, Mutley. Often, when they got into a scrape, Dick would cry "Mutley, do something!"

Well, a few minutes ago I was attempting to put a recipe book back on the shelf in the kitchen. I am not very tall. I was sort of reaching over Mutley Mr P, who was sitting at the table.

The edge of my shirt caught the rim of his (full) wine glass, which promptly toppled over, spilling it's contents all over the kitchen table, which at the time was home to my Kindle, a half finished Daily Telegraph general knowledge crossword, and Digby blush who I know shouldn't have been on the table.

So, what did Mr P do?

He stood up.

That's it, he didn't reach for a tea towel or some kitchen roll, he didn't grab the Kindle, he didn't even attempt to catch the glass! He just bloody stood up!

Even Digbys reaction was a bit more noteworthy, ok he didn't dash across the kitchen to get a tea towel, but he did at least dash across the kitchen.

So, I set to with a cloth, mopped up, then went to hand a sponge to himself to wipe down the table to make sure it wasn't left all sticky, only to find that his main concern was replenishing his glass. shock

To add insult to injury, he didn't top mine up!
