It’s water my dear, I agree,
Like lakes and sweet raindrops, you see.
But lest you first boil it,
‘tis certain to spoil it.
So please do not use it for tea.
Old saying: ‘Take the pot to the kettle, not the kettle to the pot’.
Thanks Tess for what you do.
Book launch Thursday 27th 5.30 and the Vulcan Café Moruya.

ReplyDeleteI like your take from the saying.
I can see a title for the next book " Snowstorms and Tealeaves - impure readings for the discerning collapsnik "
ReplyDeleteAh, but what do you do when you take the pot fo the kettle and the kettle rejects it..?
ReplyDeleteIs kettle calling pot black? Or is pot calling kettle black? (I'll have my tea with milk, please.) XX
ReplyDeletehmm..interesting thought to ponder..would one want to use it for tea???
ReplyDeleteThere is an old saying in the ski fields too... 'never eat brown snow'.
Deletehaha..I've heard of not eating yellow snow..
DeleteWell, now, have you ever tried it? Boiling it, I mean.
ReplyDeleteNo, but then it never snows here. But hey, I can recommend hailstones in your Scotch!
DeleteJust returned from 3 weeks in Mexico- and there's some water there I would definitely need to boil! Cheers!
ReplyDeletehope the launch went well - I got a job so very busy at the moment - still to read your book, but it is sitting in the waiting list area of my side table ;)
ReplyDeleteBoil me some water for some hot cocoa, please!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
