I'm sitting here with a huge freshly made steaming hot cup of tea and so I thought I would call today's episode the Sunday cuppa.
In fact I might call all Sunday episodes the Sunday cuppa but during today's cup of tea that I'm going to be drinking
while talking to you I promise I won't slurp.
To slurp is to make that awful noise where you suck liquid up through your lips like that.
It's not very nice.
I won't slurp today apart from that little demonstration but during today's cuppa I'm going to share with you eight useful idioms that are related to Easter
because Easter is coming up very very soon.
So the first thing that comes to mind is to spring into action.
To spring into action of course I thought of this because we are now firmly in the springtime.
The flowers are up, the buds are opening,
the sun more often than not is shining, I'm wearing just a vest which is nice.
Sometimes I've even left the house without my coat.
My goodness, such a change.
So to spring into action this means to move, to start something with energy and enthusiasm.
So it's like you are suddenly electrocuted and you're like ping I'm gonna go.
So you might say when Dexter heard the news that his wife had gone into labour
while he was down at the pub enjoying a pint with his mates he sprang into action.
Getting to the hospital in record time.
And actually this morning when I woke up and the sun was shining I sprang into action cleaning the house and getting things organised
because I felt so energised by the sun and the mild day that we were experiencing.
