I am glad the mustard survived intact! Good illustrations of both idioms!
Two more brilliant idioms Dr John!! I have always thought the last straw was the last thing to hang on to, the last hope one has when things are bad? Hmm, interesting.
I love that last one, and it always makes me smile when I imagine how you and your wife put these little scenes together. It makes me wonder, who's the stylist, and who's the director? LOL!! Betty is the obvious photographer, that's for sure!
Excellent idioms my friend. Very clever and well done :)
