E is for Effervescence...............especially the fizzing, bubbling noise made by..........not champagne bottles but Alka Seltzer and Steradent!! Reminds me of a couple of people long gone.
As for the champagne, I won a bottle in a raffle, when I was about 18 and living at home. I kept it for Boxing Day but my parents didn't drink (apart from the odd sherry) and they had no suitable champagne glasses, so I poured mine into a tumbler!! I took my glass upstairs for some reason, but on the way up, my Christmas present, bright pink, fluffy slippers caught on the stair rod and I tripped. Put my arm out to stop my fall and fell, face first onto the tumbler of champagne!!
I spent the rest of Boxing Day at A&E having my lip stitched.
I remember lying on the table, looking at my bright pink slippers & the doctor leaning over me with mistletoe in his hat. I still have the scar!!
