Grannymar, I am frightened of you in the wake of watching your programme – women often have that effect on me, men usually don’t.
Surprising to see someone in the flesh when only having known them in the abstract. And yes, the camera likes you, Grannymar, but what I’d really like to know: Who does your eyebrows? They are perfection.
Still, and I could tell it was your one anxious moment during the whole programme, though you did keep your calm: That cushion and red wine. Two points and you were too kind to point this out to the presenter: Firstly, what happens to the cushion pad inside when cover drenched in red wine, and who does have a) a bottle of white wine when it’s needed and/or b) presence of mind to throw good after bad? If I’d been you I’d just chucked it in the bin and told them to buy a new one: But, of course, that was hardly the point of the programme.

Ursula, I don’t think you are frightened of anyone or anything. Anyway, why would you be frightened of me? My eyebrows!(O.O) You are the first person to ever remark on them. I do all my own make-up and only go to a hairdresser to have my hair cut about every five weeks…. no colour, no perm just me. Anything else you would like to ask?
As for anxious moments on TV, that was in your imagination. Like all TV programmes the whole thing was rehearsed, I did my best to make it sound natural. Surely if you are serving wine to guests you cater for most preferences with White, Rosé & Red. Dumping a cushion because of an accident is where we differ, I take pride in solving problems.

Grannymar, rehearsals? Thus illusions are shattered. That’s why I tell those friends of mine who work in television and radio (mainly news) not to let me into intricate details of how those programmes are made.
As to the cushion, of course you were poised: I probably transferred my own house wifely anxiety over the ‘accident’ onto you. And, please don’t think I am wasteful; I am perfectly able to make a purse out of a sow’s ear! However, when trying to deal with a mishap on the spot (sic!) the commotion often embarrasses the culprit (guest) – so I generally just leave it and deal with it later by which time ‘the patient’ is often beyond satisfactory repair.
Tonight, in the privacy of my own laboratory, ie my kitchen, and for my own fun, I shall test the powers of white over fresh red.
Better tend to my eyebrows now.

PS Yes, there is plenty more I’d like to ask; mustn’t test Ramana’s patience though.

Patience? Not to worry. That is one virtue that I have enough and more to spare.

Thank you for the link. I would have missed it and I’m so glad I didn’t. Wasn’t she fabulous?
