A letter appeared in the Herald today replying to my article about the coffee machine. It’s good to know people are reading this stuff! It reads:
Silvia’s other side not so smooth, dark and spicy
Oh, John Sharpe! (”Silvia keeps me frothing”, October 12-13). How eloquently you describe the ”Silvia” in my marriage.
The love and attention my husband lavishes on her, the training he, too, undertook to allow Silvia’s qualities to shine through, and his desire to show her off to visitors. But she can sometimes play up and flex her ability to surprise and confuse. As in a lover’s tiff, she can on occasion hiss and spit in a wanton manner.
