I had a short but passionate affair with smoothies
which ended abruptly one Friday lunchtime...
lessons learned:
1.
shake smoothie with lid ON
2.
if planning to cover oneself
in bright yellow mango smoothie
choose Friday because it is quietest day
3.
keep bumper pack of wet wipes
in office at all times
4.
do not wear cashmere
when drinking mango smoothies
5.
do not wear dry clean only skirt
when drinking mango smoothies
6.
be familiar with quickest exit to car park
7.
ignore people staring at you...
pretend you are installation art
8.
black suede reviver is excellent product
9.
you CAN wash and dry your hair
in less than 20 minutes
10.
air freshener will remove toxic smell...
eventually
11.
keyboards can be replaced
12.
there is no disaster so great
that the human spirit cannot recover...
eventually.
it is a metaphor for life, no?

off to Cornwall tomorrow

I've never liked smoothies.
ReplyDeleteprobably another reason not to have heated seats in the car...
ReplyDeleteInteressante lezione di vita
ReplyDeleteIn bocca la spremuta - non sopra la jupa !
ReplyDeleteOh my word Mrs M that is a good one, sorry to laugh, but mango is a bit glutinous and um yellow.
ReplyDeleteDid similar once when at work, we were all on diet's, decided Tuna salad was the way forward, big mistake. Tuna tin spat stinky oil all over my blouse, not my finest hour.
Eeek! Have a lovely mango-free time in Cornwall.

I can promise you that ketchup is not so easily washed out of hair. It has a scent that tends to linger ...
ReplyDeleteMrsM will always be my fruit of the forest
ReplyDeleteI'm not laughing... honestly... well not much...
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely sleep in Cornwall!

Oh boy. Hopefully things in Cornwall will be less sticky.
ReplyDeleteEager to read your post and see pics upon your return.
enjoy your time away.
ReplyDeletenot a big fan of the mango in any form.
Oh, sudden awful memory of a similar encounter with a strawberry smoothie in a similar office situation!
ReplyDeleteHave a good break.
I have to say, you handled that well!
ReplyDeleteI am going to strongly focus on no.1
ReplyDeleteYou might be on your way to Cornwall right now and probably won't even care about mangoes anymore.
Good.
Is (are?) the plural mangos or mangoes ?
ReplyDeletePff pff pff.... (muffled laughter)... I knew an unscrewed-on lid would feature somewhere!
ReplyDeletePretend you are installation art?
ReplyDeleteI do that with coffee too frequently (not the shaking part, the spilling everywhere - I'm not quite so silly as to try and shake a hot cup of brown)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Cornwall :)
I am now remembering a similar situation, early in my tenure here, with coffee -- which is probably not as bad as mango smoothie, but was definitely bad enough.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Mango smoothie and cashmere.....they are the best though aren't they!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI will survive ....
ReplyDeletecue falsetto tones of Gloria Gaynor etc
on quick boil pasta and baked beans. Might even make myself a coffee cake over the weekend if I pace myself
Mmm.....I have just soaked myself in 20, yes 20 unread posts. Its a good thing you are away this week..I couldn't have caught up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun.
