Morning everyone..It's a new week...11/08/2014

First topic message reminder :

Hi Vicky,I don't know if it's right to say your lucky to have lost a hand bag but you don't see Kylie with a handbag very often when she is out and about,so she must have taken a real shine to it 
She must a PR officer to carry her bits 
Good photo shoots on Christmas morning

Hi Vicky I've added a bit under you 
The tree will go a bit further back into the corner

Hi Margaret......no you can't smoke over here now,  restaurant's, pub's,  work, etc, you see people going outside to smoke.....though you can smoke these E Cigarettes .....it's like having a steam train parked by you.

Asbestos

Hi I haven't seen any of those ,I do remember something I had in cold weather on the buildings, it was a stainless steel container filled with cotton wool that you put a squirt
Of lighter fuil in ,at the top was a  little asbestos bit with a thin wire around it ,as much as I can remember you put a match to this until it glowed red ,it kept glowing feeding off the fumes,you closed the lid and put it in its little material pouch,in your pocket and it kept warm
I think I sent away for it off the back of the paper or magazine I used to have the Tit Bits before we had a TV
Hi Marg I'll have to catch up on your post ,I can see my dad who used to have a terrible coughing time in the morning and a spit into the fireplace, one morning I he had eight left in a packet of ten woodbines and they went into the fire ,
Hi Vicky yes it does go a little further into the corner and the door opens

Peter always told of the way his mother cured him
of his need to smoke. 
During the war and afterwards it was easier and less
expensive to roll your own. 
One day, I think he was six he kept pestering her to let
him try one. She finally gave in and gave him one which
he ran down to the garden shed to smoke.
He got a nasty surprise as she had rolled him all filters!
Boy, did it cure him of ever smoking again. Its
not like he did not try but never saw the point.
I on the other hand started at about 16 with the odd one
and thought I looked grown up.

As was the case in those day both Peters and my parents smoked.
I finally gave it all up in 1993 without telling a soul.
I just lowered my amount each day until I was down to two.
and just quit altogether. I have asthma so still paying the price.

    It took Peter 4 weeks to notice! 
I do not miss it in any way, and I can sit beside a person 
smoking and not want one. It is nice to sit in a restaurant 
and not see the clouds of smoke anymore
Nearly all places here in California are non-smoking now,
even the prisons! 
Peter's father quit cold turkey in his seventies! 
It is an addiction of course. 
None of us chain smoked, I used filtered cigarettes.
Seeing the price, they are now makes me very glad
I stopped when I did. 
Mr.  is visiting again this morning but its 53f   
I think the clouds are rolling in gradually as some
more rain is in the forecast later this week.
I have the usual list of chores here. 
I had better get started so TTFN XXXX

Lovely photo of your Saba Carole,  you want to cuddle him, with permission  from Saba

You need a pair of those gloves that you put into the microwave and heat them up Bond I've got a pair.   I wore mine at the footy match.

Oh yes, the guy turned up took one look at the boiler etc and said  "Oh I can't do that. I'll have to phone my boss and get him to send someone  who can"    wrote his report and left.

Just sent away for some more books.....  don't ask me how many books I've got but hey like bags you can't have too many.

Erm Bond nice tree but is that where you've got it? Can you still open your front door?

Good afternoon,nice to see you in early Vicky,I won't be worried about you so long today
So you're having your pipes sorted that's good 
It's very cold and grey here ,by the time I had a shampoo and shave this morning that little
Bit of sun had gone ,
Lovely photo of Saba Carole I bet you could make a nice calendar
Shirley my Sister in-law came from a big family 11 so there was always fags about ,she
Used to say she started smoking at 8, and she may of done as all her brothers and sisters but for one was older , she said she was always begging fags
Avatar is the little in the hallway
My fingers are blue on the tips so I'm making a coff to warm my hands on

This photo is Steve receiving his HND.

Morning........it's grey here.

Guy coming this afternoon to sort our gas pipes out, or what ever he's doing.

Oh that's bad news Bond about your SIL, is she alert or in a Coma?

Also I thought things were picking up Carole, at this time of the year too.....and your special birthday coming up too.

Morning Bond
not good news then of your SIL always bad when they have been
so many years

Well I have my own issues right now again so will not press you guys
with them ,only to say I feel like I am drowning and cannot get
help no matter which way I turn ,so all I can so is
that something comes up to help us sooner than later

We have coming in later today

Hope the ladies had good nights

Good morning all from Atherstone it's a dry but cold morning the sun has just come through 
Sorry to sound a bit of a Witter but you and Now David
Having moments,I don't want to be a 
We had a phone call last night from my nephew saying his mum my sister in law had beer taken into hospital with cardiac arrest, now on a machine after three goes to get her heart going we think she is 84 /5 smoked all her life from a child, you would call her small and wirery, she has lived out a  son and husband
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk coffee tea and a large lemon and lime for

With hands on hips "Get back here Bond"

BTW guys.....the guy who now owns the Stadium, One Mike Ashley, is giving the Sky Blues eviction notice. Bond Bond empty Mrsb's piggy bank....we need someone to buy him out.

Time for bed folks ,I'll just move these teddy's over a bit 
I hope Vicky is ok she has been signed in all night but no show
I'll make a hot chocolate and put a biscuit by the side 
See you for breakfast
Here she is I will have to catch up tomorrow

Evening........and we've had a couple of  but managed to  avoid them.    David 's car had to go in for service,  passed with flying colours.     did some shopping, bits & pieces     doesn't that sound like a song.....anyway then we went for a meal in M&S.....haven't been there for meal since the start of Covid.        though on our way home       "Are you ok?" she said in a breathless way "Yeah" I said...."But I've been phoning and phoning"    so I told her we'd had to go out later so of course later coming home...."But I've been so worried" she said  I asked her why on earth should she be worried  "But I've been phoning you all afternoon"    we're on our way home now I told her ...."But why are you so late?" she said  I replied "Because we are"   she said  "But why?"   I replied  "Linda because we are"    .ohhhh she drives me potty.

It's a Diploma which is the highest Margaret.

Now those are lovely flowers Bond......wonder if she'll get the same Christmas present this year,  they know she loves flowers......or from a loving husband Bond

No no the drains haven't been moved Bond.

Lovely photo of you and Gil Carole.

Oh I forgot to say......Susan helped her Dad to get the tree out of the loft while she was here,  so it went up on the Friday and the lights and baubles went on Saturday.   Never had it up as early.

Oh bumped into our new neighbour the other day as we were getting out of the car and he,  you know we know his name starts with D and it's either Donald, or Duncan or   something like that, but what, will have to ask again,
she's Diane.....anyway her husband was asking David how he was getting on, and the guy said "Now if you need us for anything, anything at all.  lifting anything, anything at all, just knock on the door we're here"   I thought that was ever so nice.......nice neighbours.  

Cars here Margaret unless they're the small make, are much larger, cars can't get into the garage unless they're a newer house and the builders have installed a bigger/longer garage.....Rob's is, but usually you'll find houses have turned their garage into another room, I can just back my small Seat car into the garage.....not that I take it out but David does. Next door {Old, been there years, neighbours} made their garage into a study come library....I went back to David "guess what guess what ....it's lovely, wall to wall books" David said "NO"

Margaret I've got a wind up pig I think it is a pig, not seen it for years, dressed in a kung fu kit which sings Kung Fu Fighting "Everyone was disco dancing" and swivels it's hips. I bought it years ago, Matthew and Laura used to love it, they used to giggle away, i also used to do this goalie leaning against the post suddenly the play is coming down the pitch and the goalie is all alert but no the play is taken back up the pitch, then he's thinking we're going to score, he's excited, but no the ball goes wide,.....it goes on and on like this until the goalie taking no notice....and the opposition score....the goalie "Where did that come from" Laura used to say "Do the goalie" and she'd giggle away. Susan's friend Jessica used to ask me to do goalie too.....yes I've been doing it that long.

Did you see when Paddington went to Tea with the Queen Margaret? Oh that was so good......and now we know that the Queen used to carry her marmalade sandwiches in her handbag. She had some a good sense of humour. She wouldn't feel out of place in here.....what a shame we never invited her to join us. Mmmm Charles is pretty silly at times.....I wonder

Ok back later.

Such a nice lay in and I feel much better this morning.
It's on the cool side here but Mr.  is smiling on us
this morning and its 57f at the moment.

I could not begin to tell you where our load -bearing walls
are here!   The door from inside the house into the garage
has saved me much raising and lowering of the two car
width wide garage door! 
(You know cars here were much bigger in the 50s!) 
We have seen what some people have done to their
houses with the same footprint and do not understand 
what their thinking was! 
The ones who used an architect look much better. 
At least it has a main bathroom and a half bathroom here,
where many houses this small usually have just one main bathroom.
No suite or master bedroom as such. 
I have no idea how Russ and Shannon found room for FOUR kids
when we found that two kids needed more space after sharing bunk beds
for a while. 
I never had a room of my own growing up and shared a double bed 
with my sister who was 8 years younger than me!
Everything was second hand including the flock mattress! 
(In good condition but used) 
Once a week we would shake it out to get rid of the lumps!  

I only put up what I feel like putting up.
There will be a Pretty wreath on the door (around the Mr,
Scrooge Lion head knocker)
Cling film snowflakes on the two windows and the windowsills
filled with Nutcrackers (All 12 of them)
I also have groups like the 3 wise men that go on the shelves. 
I have collected them over the years from the most unlikely
of places like the local big box DIY places.
I don't see many of them anymore. at least not full size
(About 12 ").   Not all are traditional soldiers.
It's time for me to take my seasonal look see. 
I think the den facing the view will be the Teddybear room!
Lots of shelves in there. 
There are Xmas bears that only come out at Xmas time.
(Including a singing bear who is dressed in a leather suit and swivels
his hips while singing "Wont you let me be your Teddybear".)
Daft, I am completely Daft! 
The Xmas train will be in there also. and a red wagon full of Teddies!
I have teddy size sleigh and gear trailer. 
There must be over 100 teddies of every size including a Mr. Bean 
knitted bear! Rupert bear, Pooh bear and Sooty. Must not forget
Paddington bears (I have at least 8 of them)
One actually from Paddington Station!  
I am besotted by bears!  
Mine are cuddly creatures but I do have a few that are not to be played
with as they are in costumes. 
It started as a joke with Peter about the number and size of Spitfire pictures
he had all over the place, plus his David Winter stuff. 
I never had a Teddybear as a child, Peter had bought me one when I
was 16, I still have him!   I started slowly and before you know it, he was
gifting me very expensive Steiff bears!  
That was not what I expected. 

Every time we were in London, I would drag him into the famous toy shop
in Regents Street. Just to look at the bears!
It got so I would drop him off at a pub while I went in there! 
I think it's called Hamleys , oldest operating toy store in London.
3 floors of every toy ever made!
It's always sardines in there but so much fun. 
I have never come out without a bear yet!  

Its noon here and only one cup of coffee yet.
I need food!  TTFN XXXX

Good afternoon,nice photo Carole,
Well the decorations are up and lights on a bit early but we have a busy
End of the week and we wanted them up for Emmett
Yes I was lucky to be able to do all the work myself as nothing really structural so most of the materials found themselves into my boot at the end of the day on the building site
I made all the kitchen units by buying a flat pack wall and base cupboards and using
The pieces as templates for Al the others,
As a answer to a question s dozen posts ago ,mrsbs blood pressure is on the way down
She saw the nurse last week and was happy with the progress but still a bit to go 
She is taking her blood pressure herself now I have showed her how so she does it when I'm not around,
2:00 here so afternoon tea coffee and lemon and lime
Some scone with home made damson jam

Gil { 75}and I {72} down at Seaside Park
four years before he passed he was
still quite mobile then

Lovely flowers Bond I love Stocks

04:57:03
Morning Bond your referring to the TV show

Everybody Loves Raymond (TV Series …
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115167

Quite funny at times
The father is a trip and his mother is always popping over to Rays
house with food as she thinks his wife dosen't know HOW to cook
as Ray is her "baby" she also has an older son who is a police officer who
is always upset at the attention Ray gets

Well I am up .Buddy is NOT still cuddled into my Duvet
Only feels like 25f THAT is why ,will warm up to around 50f with some
today ,but rain tomorrow HO HUM and I have to run Blaine to work
looks like at least for a while


I am sure the work being done Vicky is expensive good job you have the insurance
then right
Bond guess your house work was done with your "free labor"

Marge your was a very talented and smart man knowing what
to do to take care of his wife and family in his later years √
not ALL are able to do that no matter what they do & cannot get to that
stage ,God knows Gil tried

Ah well and life goes on right

I shall be back some time later today ,have a load of
to do AGAIN ,always seems to increase in cold weather
At least I did not cough as much so I am WINNING the battle

Have a good morning

Avatar is the last of the twelve months of flowers it has been a lovely present each month 
A lot of sweet smelling Stocks in this one lovely to get up to in the mornings

Good morning all from Atherstone it's a bit damp out with a little rain in the air,
We have only had a little internal work that I did , mainly to make the kitchen bigger so we could eat in there , bricking a door up taking a pantry door and wall out , moving a door back 
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk coffee tea and a large lemon and lime for later
When I put the TV on this morning it was still on our Channel 4 and a program that I've never watched, something about Raymond? The bit I saw they had a invasion of ants and talk of the exterminator but Raymond said the exterminator left the work surfaces taste funny,what were you doing tasting the work surface? He said I thought I saw saw some jelly on it ,an 
Thing ,
Back later

I always get those two muddled up, 
was it diploma or certificate first.
I know he got both Of course they
are in the Weddiing album which I cannot find!
He hade just finished his trainee training at AWA
and then went to Lanchester, he finished there in 1959
I think and left for Cranfield in 1961.Right after we
got married.  

Along with his diploma from Cranfield, a DC ae.
Diploma of the collage of aeronautics, later replaced by 
a Masters' first class. 
He thought about going to Bristol to do a PhD but in
 talking to some of those students who came from Bristol Engine
company who said it would narrow his field of interest down to one 
subject so he did not go.
(a lot more PHDs out of work then) If it's one thing Peter had 
going for him was that he was skilled in many areas so could adapt
easily. which got him his research fellowship and his job over here. 
Thats what training on the job is all about.

So, it's going to be a long -term job Vicky. I went through one addition
here and it only took about six weeks. I was done after that!
Mr Vick who was the owner did us a favor and cut us a space for a dishwasher
in the kitchen and a doorway from in the house into the garage.
Saving me having to go around the front of the house to raise the garage door
to get tools. There was nowhere to keep them in the house!
Our main lighting is enclosed center ceiling fixtures so needed a screwdriver to get
the screws out of the globes to take them off to change bulbs.
Peter was never here when I needed him so did it myself.(still do)
Other people added doors from outside. but it was safer this way.

Going to have some Yorkshire Gold tea and English biscuits.
Vanilla creams, Bourbons and shortbread.
TTFN XXXX

Good evening,so so good news then  ,things ticking along thenhsve the drains moved then ?
Last drinks 
I haven't done any reading today still letting my breakfast setting down 
I haven't had anything else to eat for the rest of the day

Steve when he Graduated Nov 15th.   he got his HND.  that's when he was at the Coventry Uni {Lanchester when Peter was there Margaret  also David was at the Lanchester Margaret  David Graduated in 66 was there from 63 to 66.} Steve went from there, which he loved, to Bristol which he hated .

Evening all.

Think it rained in the night.

Well written all the cards....this side have gone into the post box the overseas will go tomorrow.   And the ones just stuck through the letter box will wait a few more days.  Will also post Janice's presents to her tomorrow.    I know as soon as she gets it she'll  open  it,   she's like a little kid  

No Bond they were just sorting out the drains,  they have finished, around spring time  we'll have the cracks outside done and then the cracks inside, then plastered, and wallpapered.    A long long way to go yet.  and very expensive Carole.

David is doing well now,  nothing wrong with his heart, they did find something in his blood when he was in the hospital .....he can't remember the name the Heart Dr mentioned, though she did say they couldn't have been worried about it or they would never have let him out of the hospital......so we'll see what, if anything,  they've found in the second blood test.....David might phone tomorrow.

Jessica  bought us a champagne breakfast one Christmas  but we exchanged it for a lunch.    One Hotel in Portugal we went to had  Strawberries and champagne breakfast....we never did.

Radio Caroline was a ship broadcasting music  we used to listen at work,  sad day when the rug was finally pulled from under them.  The DJ's hung on until  that was it.  

When we used to go to see Susan we always went to the Mall to look round the shops and have brunch and David always had eggs Benedict.

We were supposed to have our Christmas get together,  which we cancelled with David being ill,  he did say "Just go I'll be fine" but I said we couldn't sit there having our Christmas meal and you not there.  so we cancelled and we got out money back even though it was short notice, which they didn't need to.

We got my engagement ring  at H Samuels too. mine was £19

I'd been watching the game  while    this......I had to stop because        "Can you talk it's Linda"   "No I can't I'm watching England"

Oh I watched a great film last night......"House of Gucci"   true story.

Right off to read      really good.

I wasn't going to say the result so not to spoil it for those who might have recorded it.....or what ever and didn't know the result.

:mug:first 35 minutes was a bit of a🥶but when they needed to be
Very good 

3-0 on to France

2 :0 to  :ukflag:at half time

Good evening all,we are watching Earth Shot from Boston   
The Princess of Wales looks fantastic but looks like she needs a good dinner
When the pirates radio ships started up before the days of Radio 1
A radio/record shop on the front of Skegness,the big plate glass window pointed out to see 
And it had a sign on it that said put your ear to the glass and hear the pirates ship transmission from out at sea ,they did it as if the glass was picking up the transmission 🧐
But my brother said ther was a radios speaker against the glass in the corner,too clever for his own boots ,he did build a radio transmitter and receiver that transmitted along a light beam , before the days of a Lazer , he tested it out with a radio ham a street away that their houses backed onto and to prove it worked you put a card over the light and it stopped,
The games on still having a kick about yet
You can see the Ariel on the one on the right

Marge another thing the same
Samuels was where Gil got MY engagement ring from
in 1958 and if I remember right that was around what
he paid for it
Only difference is on Dec 4th 1959 ,we had been
MARRIED a week
Sorry your still feeling some reactions to the shots
as I had none ,but wonder could it be having BOTH at
the same time even though in different arms
as I had my flu shot two weeks before the covid one

Ok guess I'll go back to my recorded programs
Btw doesn't your tv service have a scrolling menu
on one of the channels to tell you what and whose
playing etc

I also remember them being a pirate radio station.
Best music around. 
It feels a little more flu-like today. but not too bad.
 
Going to have to find Fox Sports1 to watch England play.
there are about 200 cable channels on my service and no
instant guide to find the one I want. 
The all-mighty NFL takes over on Sundays in the USA.

I like eggs Benedict and Champagne at Sunday brunches,
The Mariott does a nice one. 
The Champagne is usually low alcohol anyway so would take 
a few to get you under the influence. Those flute glasses do 
not hold much anyway. 
I sip mine gently. Or if it comes Bucks Fizz style with 
orange juice I might drink it a little faster. 
(We call them Mimosas here) 
I do not have to drive very far, and I can avoid the main drag,
I come home via back streets through my neighborhood. 
It's all 25 mph that way!
Its 57f and partly cloudy here but its early yet. 

December 4th 1959 was the date that Peter put the
engagement ring on my finger. It was supposed to be 
at Christmas but he said he could not wait that long! 
How can you say no to that. 
It was from H, Samuels and he paid it off over time,
all 18 pounds!  It was three hearts on a twist.
It has the tiniest diamonds in it. 
I still have it and the box it came in and the announcement
in the Telegraph that is in there also. 
(I think he did not feel safe leaving it in his room at the YMCA,
 it was safer on my hand)  
It was kind of like Animal House there, Lots of teenage boys 
playing tricks on each other.
The new assistant to the director got his WV bug dismantled and 
put up on the roof and reassembled.  (He was a bit of a prig)
no one ever found out how they got the pieces up there! 
 (I never found out how they got it down.)
My time has flown again and still have not had breakfast yet.
TTFN XXXX

10:57:38
Saw the story on Facebook Bond 
Guess your resting on your champagne breakfast 
and from what you say Mrs B had she must be as well 
Btw how's her blood pressure numbers these days ?

Watching Blue Bloods ,Tom Selleck is still one sexy man 

Sunny still looks nice  but only 41f

I remember those Carole was it on here or a pop quiz  ,one was a pirate radio station in the 60/70s ,they do look like something from war of the world's with their legs

Good afternoon all as it's almost one over here,well that was lovely,rich coffee,mixed fresh fruit salad,a chocolate covered sponge finger , a bowl of yogurt and  peach sauce with Danish pastries, with a glass of champagne,a full English with what ever style of egg ,mrsb had smoked salmon with pouched egg,avocado on a thick crisp slice
Of toast ,with more coffee and fruit juice.
And the place was packed every table taken ,there is some money in the country
I'm stuffed now and I've had enough coffee so it's

06:13:36
Morning I am REALLY late today looks like Bond is ALREADY sipping
,really do not see the idea with that as when I took Ruth
away to Harrahs Casino with me on a three day two nights trip I won
back in 1989 that was one of the "perks" a champagne breakfast
We ate a hardy breakfast but never touched the
Rather opting for a good cup of tea or coffee

I did nothing but cough during the middle part of the night
what ever is down there seems to come up until I guess my
body feels like I might choke ,and makes me COUGH it away
but my nose is clear so I guess Im getting there

Weather today almost around where we SHOULD be in the low 40's
and will at least be dry as yesterday it ALL DAY

Watching the TV with the weatherman as I who is saying
looks like rain Tuesday that wants to linger into Wednesday and
NEXT Monday and Tuesday more of the same that MIGHT change
to snow showers

Bond Atherstone looks dry today but cloudy also in the 40's
that is when it FEELS colder when the goes on vacation

Anyway hope Vicky and Marge had good nights ,my daughter
called me Friday saying she had to get an electrician as part
of her house had no lights and also her internet and WIFI was out
Well seems there were two wires behind a wall she had sheet rocked
that were not connected right she thinks it could have
been the guy who did the work for her but any way that is fixed now
as I told her that could have caused a fire
Then she called who her internet is with and they fixed that so she is
up and running again

Ok talking of that I must away trying to clear some of the
JUNK that accumulates around my

Good morning all from Atherstone it's still dark here so I don't know about the weather
Up a little earlier as we are going for a champagne breakfast later at Market Bosworth as a pre Christmas treat with mrsbs brother and his wife it's become a annual thing the same as 
The outdoor theatre in the summer at Kilworth house 
So just a slice of toast and marmalade
Tea coffee and a large lemon and lime for later
Back later
The kitchen floors cold this morning you will need your fluffy boots slippers
On today

Hi ,how is David now ,have you had the news on the ECG was it 
Then have the workmen done ,do they pump concrete down into the footings
I don't know how it works ,
Time for drinks before bed 
So hot chocolate and biscuits for us over this side

I must be physic I have just had a strong cheese and sliced pickle onion batch ,crisps and a bottle of beer 
Home pickled onions in balsamic vinegar 
Has something gone wrong with football as it should been on the box but two old quiz were on ,

Hi Margaret .....yes onions they say is good for you, they say that's why garlic is in so many dishes. I love onions but as you know not garlic.....they just have to show the dish garlic and I know.

Bond I don't think she's going to wear it more to ask her PR lady to hunt that one out for a present for her teenage niece.

Well, The US are out of the World Cup!
beaten 3-1 by the Netherlands.
It was like the men playing the boys.
I was prepared for it so not a big surprise. 

Feeling a few more effects this morning but
mild compared with the wooly brain I had after
the second vaccination. 

The first rain front has left but might be more 
soon. It was only about half an inch locally,
but big log jams up near the two freeways that merge
5 and 14 up near the so -called grape vine.
There is a separate lorry lane that passes from one to
the other but being as the road surface was so slick 
there was an accident between a big rig and a car then
a big rig skidding going over the top and falling down 
on top of the accident blocking the lower level.
No one seriously hurt thank goodness.

Dont know what happened then but I must have
touched something I shouldn't have!


I guess it's all up to England now (Thank goodness it
solved itself) 
The ground has absorbed all the rain we had, but up north
is nearly six foot of snow in the Sierra mountains which
promise aquafers will be filling come the melt. 

If it stays dry, I will go out and buy a new toaster as the
old cheap one has broken. It did good service 
over the years but it's time for a new one as I have Pikelets 
frozen in the freezer. :-D   
From the British Connection of course. 
Don't have an open fire to toast them on. I don't think any
of these older houses even came with a fireplace!
It's all forced air heating. 
A little lactose free butter and black current jam Yum!
Its breakfast time here (A little late because of watching 
the game) 
I might even cook the English bangers I also have. 
and make a batch with them.
I think mushrooms would be good but could also
do caramel onions instead. 
In fact, it has been proved that onions are good for you!
Nothing like good old Pickled onions for clearing a cold. 

Peter would not let me eat them unless he was too.
It's so we had matching breath!  
Of course, he never thought that I might not like kissing him
after he had curry for lunch! :-D 
He had a cast iron stomach, so he ate the hottest dish they
had. It made my lips tingle. 
He would chase me pouting like a fish!   
(Until I made him brush his teeth and gargle with mouth wash).
