Elevensies

[poliphilo]

Everything stops at eleven. We sit at the kitchen table.

My mother likes one brand of instant coffee, Ailz likes another and I only drink tea. Sometimes I get confused.

My mother eats a nut and sometimes a sweet biscuit, Ailz eats nothing, and I eat oatcakes with jam or honey.

With my MiL it was the glass of sherry and a piece of shortbread every evening at six before dinner.

She never understood my unwillingness to drink sherry although I was happy enough to munch the shortbread. :o)

My mother takes gin and tonic at six- accompanied by a dish of little cheesy biscuits.
