There’s many a slip twixt
cup and lip.
As I understand the saying, it might be translated as ‘Be
diligent through all stages of any process. Maintain your concentration, for
stumbling blocks lie ever in wait for the unwary.’
I never heard it that way. Being unusually rational for a
teenager, I always put a more literal interpretation on it. (Ahem?) Had I been
more open to the value of metaphor, I might now be able to indulge my passion
for savoury munches with an endless supply of healthy (but expensive) unsalted
cashew nuts, instead of an over-indulgence in unhealthy (and cheap) ready
salted crisps. There is a connection.
JJ is going to wonder who wrote this in the morning.
