I use my plastic funnel to pour liquid from a jug into a bottle. No fuss no spills. A simple kitchen procedure can turn into a meditation of remberance.
I am smiling to myself. Why ? My granddaughter comes to mind. In her little protective days, when her dad and mum were her world.
"Gramma!" she says to me "my dad does not have strainers like that, i must tell him to get some"
Ah but they just keep growing up, with new challenges for both mum and dad
first by her mum
the teenager is scolded
also by her dad
