Took me long time to solve 9 Ac, GLASS, I kept thinking "agg.." for a couple of girls. Good one!
ReplyDeleteTheme aptly captured by RKE. ENjoyed it thoroughly as this dishwashing has become common in the absence of maids during this lockdown.
What an English breakfast and what a work of fiction without any resemblance to any real person!
ReplyDeleteNice cutlery (though difficult to dishwash) but the dish ran away with the spoon! (leaving the fork benind?)
+1
DeleteThe disclaimer always gives room for guessing. I liked one in some TV soap long time back:
"This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to any real person or event is purely intentional."
We add "and voluntarily accepted by such real person/s".
DeleteDr.has spurred CV also. God fare today on the table.
ReplyDeleteTook a while to get for from for and the left side as well.
ReplyDeleteWager= Better,Goat=Butter. Nice going.
Thanks all. With the lockdown the "tale" piece is not FICTION but "FACTION"!
ReplyDeleteDr RKE,
ReplyDeletePlease avoid families being named in your tales. Please use anonymous names in future
Sorry, took some licence for All Fool's Day. In facr this story is really autobiographical, names changed!
DeleteOk. Comment well taken
ReplyDeleteClue for Glass is Class
ReplyDeleteKarl was hungry and had an URGE to eat anything that might be available.
ReplyDeleteThe KNIFE was there. But no bread and BUTTER.
He was in soup as
the BOWL with the SPOON was empty!
He was lost but HOPING for the best.
Just then his neighbour Kate DROPPED IN and shouted: Karl! Get the PLATES and the FORKS. I have brought some FISH and chips and a GLASS of wine. Let us party!!
Yes. Let us party but maintain social distancing. 😊
