28th March, 2018.
Yes, it’s true: drinking through a straw, at the moment, seems to be a good thing.
I means I don’t dribble.
Well …
Any more than I would do, normally.
Which seemed to work out well enough.
Until this morning … when I had too much of a mouthful of tea …
That started dribbling out of my nose.
That’s …
Well, frankly, it’s simultaneously amazingly dignified … and rather disconcerting.
Yeah …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Have a good day.
* Morning, Mr S!
† Yeah, I think I might have to Olga: nasal dribbling’s not necessarily fun! And take your time, I know how tricky these things are! (It’s like impotence and importance, it’s AMAZING how these things catch you unawares …)
‡ Yeah, Britain’s hopefully changed, since then Debbi: but I’ve always had the impression there’s going to be a ‘but … ’ involved, somewhere … !
