I forgot something from Thursday night and thought you'd like to hear it:
Thursday night is my first night home since Monday morning. It's usually spent s*****d out in front of the TV recovering from a week of eating peanuts, with occasional interruptions for work. It's also a great night for TV with House, Boston Legal, Stacked and Suburban Shootout.
Between programmes FW was making tea and hot chocolate. I nterrupted her to see something on the TV. She went back and made my Hot Chocolate. Then she went back out to get her tea. We settled down for Boston Legal.
A few minutes later I reached forward and picked up my cup of chocolate. Hand sends message to brain - there is something wrong here mate. Brain replies what, being distracted by William Shatner's performance as the mad lawyer. Its freezing. Brain tells hand to insert finger. Yep its definitely ice cold comes the reply.
Me: "Love, my drink's freezing cold!"
FW: "It can't be. Hang on I'll check my tea.... My tea's hot. Your chocolate must be, I made it at the same time."
Me: "No, its definitely cold. Here!"
FW: "I don't understand this. I made them together."
FW disappears back to the kitchen to remake it.
Later FW realises what happened.
When I, foolishly, distracted her she had just filled the filter jug and had it in her hand. Then she watched the funny thing on TV. On turning her brain says, need to pour Tired's chocolate and proceeds to. From the filter jug. Then on returning to kitchen pours hot water from kettle into her cup.
The lesson is: Never distract FW from the task in hand.
