Can anyone explain why, despite doing the same things, in the same order, everytime, my first cup of tea is sometimes just so much nicer than at other times?

Lizzie72 Tue 09-Nov-21 09:17:22

My first cuppa is always good, because husband makes it and brings it to me in bed smile

Don’t know.
But can anyone explain why my right arm is itchy when my Covid jab was on my left arm?

How can a man hit a bullseye on a dart board and yet keep missing the toilet!

Calmlocket ?

Why is it always red wine that gets spilt, never white?

My first cuppa has a half spoonful of brown sugar in it, my dear mother always said 'you can't run an engine on an empty tank'. I thoroughly enjoy it but I don't have sugar in any other of my many cuppas during the day.

How can someone remember every hit and hole configuration on a golf course but need a list for two things if they go to the shops ?

My husband never hears me politely asking him to take his muddy boots off. But when I complain about the muddy floor I get called a nag so he heard me in the first place…?

Iv`e just asked dh Calmlocket and he just laughed,i think it may be a good idea to hang toilets on the wall at dartboard height.
Heypresto......

timetogo2016 Tue 09-Nov-21 10:25:30

Oh and yes my first cuppa is the best as i make it.

It’s come out in sympathy or it’s having a phantom jab?

First cuppa best as feel thirsty.

My dh can’t sneeze without at the same time yelling loudly enough to wake the dead.

And despite having a degree and a professional qualification, he apparently can’t read - when it comes to supermarket labels, anyway.

Hence a joint of pork when I’d clearly written ‘gammon’, and on a separate occasion, pork mince, when I’d clearly written ‘beef’.
Cue, ‘I thought it was gammon/beef!’ both times, with the hurt, injured face.

But I wouldn’t swap him, he’s not a bad old b*gger really. ?

How come there's always a teaspoon in the washing up bowl when you tip the water out?

lemongrove Tue 09-Nov-21 14:01:19

Why does the phone ring, or the doorbell, just when you are about to serve a meal?
Why do visitors always turn up (usually late) the moment you go to the loo?
Why do socks vanish in the laundry process twixt washing machine and putting away?

And why is there nearly always a vegetable peeler (lost) in the bin after OH has used it?

Why do men fall asleep in front of tv ( usually noisy sport) but wake instantly if the tv is surreptitiously turned off?
Then say indignantly...’I was watching that!’

Sago Tue 09-Nov-21 14:34:18

How do shoe laces work their way undone no matter how well you tie them?

kittylester Tue 09-Nov-21 14:59:31

It's a well known fact that lost socks reappear as tupperware lids that do not fit any container you possess.

Mine usually claims "I wasn't sleeping, I was just resting my eyes". Aye, so that would account for the snoring then...

Why do I always get stuck behind a tractor on a narrow road or someone who can't drive at more than 20 in a 50 zone?

grannyrebel7 Tue 09-Nov-21 15:09:08

I find a really good cup of tea only comes along every now and again. The others are lovely, but sometimes I just make one that's exceptionally delicious. I think it's to do with how long you leave it to stand, the amount of milk you put in and of course the cup.

Kim19 Tue 09-Nov-21 15:16:06

Yep, it's totally to do with the receptive state of your tastebuds rather than the same cup content. Often used to wonder this myself.
