Here’s a little confession: I can actually crochet. It’s been many years since I could actually be bothered to do any, but it’s something I […]
Sometimes, if I see them, I’ll buy kiwi fruit. Actually, only about a dozen times in my entire life and once only since I’ve been in the UK, only because they were selling ‘em cheap on the market. I don’t obsess over them, I don’t have to buy them every time I go out and […]
Having come back to the UK, because I really had no option, I’ve intimated to friends that things are much worse than I envisaged - and I was expecting it to be really, really awful. Now I’ve had a few weeks to assess the situation, I can only conclude that my mother is no longer […]
Mine had this to say about me:
“You don’t need a lot of stuff to be happy. There isn’t a greedy bone in your body. You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you’re mostly a saver. You are a very adventurous person. You love to try new things, and you get […]
Way back when I was too young to pronounce the word “asparagus” properly, I can remember my grandad growing it on his allotment in East London.

And this, following Diamond Geezer’s plan, is […]
Events rather took over last month, but I’ve been meaning to get back to the series I started, based upon Diamond Geezer’s cholesterol reducing diet table.
Breakfast, we found seriously lacked viable alternatives, so let’s see if we can do any better at main meal times. NB: I’ve called these “main meals” instead of lunch or […]
Más Sano (more healthy / healthier) proclaims the packet of sin sal (salt free) nuts with a pretty picture of a red heart on it.
But, beware, there’s still danger lurking therein to catch the unsuspecting consumer unawares. For nestling, invisibly, amongst hazelnuts, almonds, peanuts, walnuts - shelled and ready to eat - were a few […]
Continuing the series, there’s a dim hope in the back of my mind that, if you follow my rambling logic, perhaps it’ll give you ideas, confirm ones you already had, or help you make healthy choices. If not, sit back and be entertained!
