The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
The theme for this week's photo hunt is drink. For once I won't be stretching the theme so far as to snap it. Here is Shirley (The not-wife) enjoying a nice cup of tea...
I'm making a cup of tea right now to enjoy it with Shirley. Thank you for the inspiration. I don't do this often enough. I don't know why I always fix a mug of coffee instead of lovely tea in my nice English China.
Seems I'm the only one who can figure out what's really happening as you try to mend fences... The eyes are looking at a cat and a plan is forming, hence the flicker of a smile behind the mug...

Why thank you Liz!
A very nice photo of Shirley! A cup of tea sounds really good to me now.
Happy weekend!
nice to see a woman enjoying a cup of tea.
I'm inspired to brew a pot! Happy weekend and photo hunt!
I love this shot. You caught such a great look in her eyes. They look like they're smiling eyes.
Did you make the tea for her?
Thankyou. Nursie I did make the tea for her!
I hope she had a charming Chelsea bun to go with that tea...
Ah the bun went with an earlier cuppa Gleds!

This photo is so graceful...
she seems to be enjoying her cup of tea. i like tea too though i'm a coffee person :)
Mine is up too: http://upto6only.com/2011/08/19/photohunt-drink/
I find it interesting to see how she cradles the cup when drinking her cup of tea. :)
she looked away...a bit camera-shy, perhaps?:p
Lovely! even during the hot august nights I enjoy one too.
Happy weekend!
drink
you can never go wrong with tea. i love her expressive eyes.
Nice shot, a cup of tea always makes me happy!
I hope you made that for her! It's great she's willing to be your subject. :)
Oops, reading the comments, I see you DID Make it for her. Good not-husband!
Great picture for the "drink" theme! In fact, I am going to have a cup of tea myself... Pomegranate Green Tea mmmmmmmm
What a lovely photo - her eyes is telling me something! lol. I never really appreciated a cup of tea until I went to a cold country :D
Now that's true. Nothing like a cup of tea on a cold night... and a very large whisky!
She looks pretty serious about that tea! LOL! I'm a coffee drinker as you can see HERE, but my hubby is a tea drink! Happy weekend!
Tea is a nice, healthy drink. Much like Jack's.
Great literal take on the theme, and a lovely black-and-white photo of Shirley!
sometimes there is joyn in taking the easy route - not often, but sometimes. :-)
Have a brilliant weekend!
Nice cup, looks like she is enjoying it!
Nice one Jams.
perfect for the theme@
Drink is a topic I am always for. Not that cap of tea is my cup of tea, but the shot is very good.
oh, the tea! i should be having it!
