. A Turnip For The Books...

... is what Nif thought I said when I actually said "A turn up for the books" which is an olde English idiom used to describe an unusual event, generally regarding a change for the better, and which probably originated in the area of horse-racing where the "bookmakers" would have to re-write their "books" taking into account the surprising result of a horse race. Anyway, what a funny miscommunication. Turnip for the books. How we laughed. Later, Nif said "A radish for the books" which was less funny, although Nif claimed it was even more funny.
