And Now For Something Completely Different


 Lance and Pat are an English couple who walk each day at Bayfront Park.  Pat keeps up with English customs.  This is her Christmas Cake  (made from her mother's recipe).  Oh so good.  Rich fruit cake  (with shredded carrot to keep it moist), surmounted with Marzipan and Hard Icing.    I should be so lucky!




Dragon fruit  (from a Cactus), recommended by the produce Manager at Detwiler's Farm Market. He sang the praises of its flavour.


It's easily cut into quarters, revealing the inner fruit.  'Tis easy to peel?  But as for flavour?  " Wot flavour?" I ask. "Nowt" as they might say in Yorkshire,


So   I cut it up with an apple for my lunch today - "waste not want not!"

I am told that it can be grilled as a Kebab  (but I don't have a grill).

All is not lost  -  it is rich with iron.  But at nearly $3 per fruit  I'll find a less expensive way to enrich my blood.

I have some leftover.  I'll baptise it with honey and have it for breakfast.

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
