TJ hasĀ a wonderful ornate tap for his Household Haiku ChallengeĀ this week. Mine are bog standard and pretty boring!
Here is my take on the challenge anyway.
Cold water on tap
Just right for hot, sunny days
Let’s add some ice too!

I love the prompt words this week for Ronovan’sĀ Haiku ChallengeĀ of ‘tears’ and ‘wine’. Ronovan himself wrote a fantastic Haiku to go with it which you really should Ā check out. In fact it is such fun participating in this challenge with all of the others, it is really worth having a go at.
Here is my attempt this week (bearing in mind I am now teetotal)!!!
Miss Hap has discovered a new drink which she loves, Oreo Smoothie! Now forgive me if I am wrong, but aren’t smoothies supposed to be healthy? You know, made with fruit and veg and skimmed milk….that kind of thing, not ice cream and Oreos (I can’t bear them myself)!
Anyway, she has been nagging me for ages to buy the ingredients in order to make this delightful drink. I have so far not obliged her, Ā as her once a week indulgence is plenty enough for such a sugar-fest. I did however, promise to make her a ‘normal’ smoothie.
I have actually got a smoothie maker that I have had for ages, but now never really gets used.Ā I dragged in out of the corner it was hiding in, gave it a bit of a clean up and gathered some ingredients together.
Now I have to mention that I was not really in a very good mood. We were going to have our usual Sunday roast, but whilst Mr Grump was cooking the meat, it gave off rather an unpleasant smell. Once cooked. although it looked gorgeous, none of us fancied it anymore due to the weird smell,Ā so that put paid to that! Hence the reason why I was crabby. (I had a healthy dinner instead)!
Anyway, I poured the milk into the smoothie maker, and asked Miss Hap to get the ice out of the freezer whilst I got the bananas. She had decided that she didn’t want anything else with it as she ‘doesn’t really likeĀ that muchĀ fruit’ (a fact I know all too well)!
When I turned back to the smoothie maker I saw that all of the milk had ended up on the worktop. There must have been a bit missing from the machine which I hadn’t noticed, despite the fact that it was an essential component!
I got more milk and we used the food processor to mix everything up in, I poured out some of the drink and gave it to my daughter. She took the smallest of sips and her face said it all. I went to give some to Mr Grump and when I came back all of Miss Hap’s drink had suspiciously gone. She said that she had enjoyed it and sloped off upstairs.
I, meanwhile, was left with one hell of a mess to clean up. As I went to start the washing up, I noticed that the washing up bowl was filled with what looked uncannily like banana smoothie! Great! She had thrown it away as I thought. I chucked out the bloody useless smoothie maker as well. Oh well, at least my kitchen is slightly less cluttered now!
