Rice Pudding Abuse

29th October 2011 Saturday


In the bath tonight my husband says sorry for having a glass of red wine too many.....


Sometimes I just want to go unconscious, he says.


Me too, I say.


But my version is rice pudding abuse. Two gloopy bowlfuls for supper - unctuous with cream and plopped with strawberry jam, fragrant as summer.


We can’t work out which way the clocks go tomorrow - forward or back - fuddled by alcohol and sugar.


Fortunately I don’t need to know everything. Not tonight anyway.
