As tenterhooks are difficult to come by these days and the figurative meaning is difficult to photograph I decided to take the German equivalent of the idiom: auf glühenden Kohlen sitzen = to sit on glowing embers.

Linked to the Ragtag Daily Prompt: Tenterhooks.

PS: After wondering about the spelling, checking it out, patting myself on the back for having learned something new, I managed to get the spelling wrong in the title. 😳 And wordpress being wordpress allows me to change the header but not the link. Write out 10 times: ^{being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks, being on tenterhooks.}
