This week's motley collection of words from Sunday's Whirligig are:-
parking, wrathful, prance, shady, bathe, loll, posts, deep, dialing, shattering and drifting.
I've had a bad day. I got into an argument over a parking place, my ice cream got knocked from my hand by a prancing puppy, I trapped one of my fingers in my car door and dropped my phone whilst dialing the wrong number.
The 'dead certainty' horse I backed still hasn't reached the finishing post (thanks a bunch Alf) and I dropped my beer in the pub shattering glass all over the floor. Then I accused my friend Rosey of shady dealings during the pub quiz (she was Googling for answers!) which resulted in a wrathful reaction and a punch on the nose!
Only one thing for it. I’ll run comforting bath, light some candles, loll in the deep foaming water and sip malt whisky from a crystal glass. I’ll listen to some soothing Beethoven and watch my real best friend drifting between the bubbles.
At least I know my little rubber duck will always be there to soothe my weary soul.
Oh, Rosey, I'm disappointed in you. ~grin~ The "real best friend" cracked me up. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou know where you are with a rubber duck!
DeleteI beg your pardon? I only slightly googled one answer and it was just a playful tap on the nose - you know it bleeds easily. Your rubber duck can buy you drinks in the pub in future!

Ok! Thing is, I had some difficult words to use and I used them on you. Sorry!
DeleteNow I am thinking of that Bert and Ernie song - 'Rubber Duckie, you're the one, You make bath time lots of fun, Rubber Duckie, I'm awfully fond of you'..perfectly innocent i'm sure..a-hem..

Rubber Duckie, joy of joys,
DeleteWhen I squeeze you, you make noise!
Rubber Duckie, you're my very best friend, it's true!
Rosey is capable of punching people's noses? Oh, my!
ReplyDeleteOn another note: Even though this is a "motley collection of words," you seem to have had great fun with them.

Perhaps I did slightly exaggerate Roseys outburst! But a punch sounds more interesting than a tap!
DeleteNever! Never! Bath without the duckie!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't dream of it!
DeleteBad day but good story.
ReplyDeleteI am glad Rosey stood up for herself. Just be careful of that crystal glass in the bath.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of that quote by Sylvia Plath: "“There must be quite a few things that a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them.”
ReplyDeleteNothing like a soak to help right a day ... lovely story! Bastet
