Drips/drops

Normally I come home with Fiona on a Thursday and work the rest of the day from home but I was needed for something this afternoon and didn't get back at the usual time. We tried to squeeze too much in before Fiona went out and things became a bit scrambulous. The boys had strong-smelling meatballs (non-IKEA) and Fiona lit an oil burner. A few drips of the fluid dropped onto the hearth... a few drops of the fluid dripped onto the hearth.
