Vocabulary Lesson

Today’s vocabulary words are as follows:
petrol: gasoline
spirit level: level
a bit crap: terrible
lurgy (LER-gee): general malaise, as we would say, a cold
dispensing chemist: pharmacy
waffles: can be made of potato – like a hash brown patty
plaster: band aid
pastilles: cough drops
trifle: yummy custard-y goodness

As in:
I woke up one morning ::coughcoughafternooncough:: and K asked if I wanted waffles and eggs for breakfast. I answered of course. She pulled them out of the freezer and stuck them into the oven and then made delicious scrambled eggs. We all sat down to eat and M put ketchup on her waffle. I scoffed and pointed out how gross that was, but was then surprised to realize that my waffle was savory and made of potato. My bad.
At some point, D cut his arm and asked for a plaster to bandage it. K then declared that she was feeling a bit crap so we watched some movies.

By the next morning, K had a full-on case of the lurgy and there was enough petrol in the car for D to drive her to work to ease her commute. I rode along for fun.

I thought perhaps I should tape a spirit level to K’s arm so she could right herself despite the lightheadedness or perhaps make a trip to a dispensing chemist for some pastilles but was distracted by the trifle in the kitchen and thus spent my day reveling in the wonder that is custard.

Class dismissed.
