and what a Maritime grandmother might eat for breakfast
Beautifully written Lindsay. Poor Rex hope he’s okay? Loved the bit about your Gran answering with ‘surprise and joy’ everyday. How special. Xx
Thank you Nicola! Rex just went on a band trip and is playing his saxophone with one hand in a cast 😂 I think he's on the mend! xo
My grandmother introduced me to marmalade and cheese on toast. I still have it regularly for breakfast.
It's the afternoon here in NS and I think I might have some cheese on toast with marmalade right now! :)
Love local language-isms.
My sister introduced me to cheese on jam and toast after she was introduced to the wonderful combo while living in Germany in the early 1960s.
It's such a good combo. And perhaps the protein in the cheese fortifies us? Who knows but I love it!
I love the colloqialisms. Perfect.
We don't come anywhere close to Australian colloquialisms! They're the best!
They are funny. There's a marvellous book called Strine, A Beginner's Guide to Australian English. https://perdamanglobalservices.com.au/2014/10/strine-beginners-guide-australian-english/
TBH, Even as an Aussie, I can barely understand the idiomatic slang!
