So...,, I found myself eating a pickled onion in the shower today. Is it the weather? Never happened before. Am considering a glass of prossecco tomorrow. Is that strange? Hoping it is!

You'd think I'd been eating pickled onions in the shower! Yesterday I draped kitchen roll soaked in vinegar around the shower head. It smells awful but it's supposed to be a good cleaner.

How can you drink prosecco in the shower ? Surely the question is how can you drink prosecco ? bleurgh, cheap imitation of champagne shock

It also reminds me of the 'Darling Buds of May' episode where Ma and Pa Larkin were eating bacon and eggs in the bath grin. A pickled onion is nothing in comparison!

Glass of prosecco in the shower would take quite a while to empty

Surely better to eat and drink in the bath... the shower would dilute your prosecco!

At least it wasn't a sandwich...

Put Prosecco in a sports bottle - then suck it and see! My preference would be red wine - can't stand the fizzy stuff even if expensive!

I nice glass of red wine in the bath... Now you're talking.
Prosecco... Yuk

Though I rarely drink alcohol, I can remember once treating myself to a glass of brandy whilst soaking in a hot bath.
It definitely knocked the edges off what had been an unusually difficult day at work.
My former husband, whom I divorced following his multiple adulteries, cited this incident in Court as evidence of my ‘loose moral character’ !
I wonder what he would have said if I had been sitting there with a plate of pickles and a bottle of prosecco? grin

That you were living up to your name?

If I had pickles, then I'd want a cheese sandwich to go with them.
Maybe a bag of crisps, too.

grin I'd have Ray Winston sitting up the tap end.

Could you be pregnant

MissAdventure Tue 14-Aug-18 18:14:05

Not yet. Give Ray a chance to move away from the plughole first! grin

Jalima1108 Tue 14-Aug-18 18:21:53

Careful, you could have an Archimedes moment if Ray gets in the bath with you.

Jalima1108 Tue 14-Aug-18 18:23:36

and the thought of Ray running up the street, naked and shouting 'Eureka' is shock unthinkable
well, words fail me grin

Jalima1108 Tue 14-Aug-18 18:43:55

Yes, it doesn't bear thinking about though

grin
