You may have read in my last post that I said a very silly thing to my Beloved.
See I put my foot down.
However, a few minutes later I felt even worse.
My hearing isn't what it used to be, and it turned out that what my beloved actually said was:
"I really need some sticks now"
She was putting some plants in a pot, and needed some bamboo sticks as supports.

| Nope |
This was not what I heard.
My Beloved is also going a wee bit deaf, but in this particular case, my error was grossly exaggerated by the context.
From her point of view, she asked me to help with a trivial piece of gardening and I responded by saying I didn't love her any more.
Roma locuta est. Causa finita est
She has spoken. I am doomed.
Soooory TSB - not been able to get onto your blog (and indeed many others) for AGES. Glad to see you are just as you were when I left. Although it looks like divorce may be imminent... :-0

Sorry TSB, but it's a fair cop.
ReplyDeleteI can only repeat AG's prophetic words:
"A brave (and very, very stupid) man."
The NZ accent strikes again.
ReplyDeleteAliX: Not divorce...it's much worse than that.
ReplyDeleteRichard[of RBB]:*sigh* probably
Patience_crabstick: Not so much the NZ accent, more old age and deteriorating hearing. And preoccupation with the Rugby on the TV. I really must pay more attention to what my Beloved is actually saying.......when she actually starts talking to me again.

Linda in Chile: Did. Not working as yet. Will try advanced grovelling (with whimpering) tomorrow.
ReplyDeletePatience_Crabstick: Wow,I'm sorry, I didn't know it was that big. Magnitude 5.8 is no joke. We tend to get a bit blasé about quakes down here, but I wouldn't like to be anything over 5.5. I've always been under the impression that Virginia was tectonically stable.
