Why did nobody ever tell me that when I hit 40 my body would start giving up?

And what would you have done about it..?

Somewhere on one of the computers i think i've got the Jamie Oliver book that was "leaked" before it went on sale. I'll have to try and find it for you.

KC - if you're going out anyway, take your camera and join our challenge! Fingers crossed to the shop assistant germs not having spread.

Good point.

Gilli, I am at the low end of the scale thankfully but I do tend to have bouts of it and it took them 5 years to diagnose. They thought for a long time that I had ME (I think that is the right one - yuppy flu as it used to be called)

Macgirl, forewarned is forearmed (or something like that):rotfl::rotfl:

Here you go! I'm really pleased that thats the sense you usually get from this thread, macgirl :kisses3: even tho I'm 55 and not in the best of health, I have every intention of living a long, disgraceful and noteworthy life

In fact, I hunted out a Roger McGough poem just for you - I met him when I was about 13, in the street as you do :

Let me die a youngman's death
not a clean & inbetween
the sheets holywater death
not a famous-last-words
peaceful out of breath death.

When I'm 73
& in constant good tumour
may I be mown down at dawn
by a bright red sports car
on my way home
from an allnight party

Or when I'm 91
with silver hair
& sitting in a barber's chair
may rival gangsters
with hamfisted tommyguns burst in
& give me a short back & insides

Or when I'm 104
& banned from the Cavern
may my mistress catching me in bed with her daughter
& fearing her son
cut me up into little pieces
& throw away every piece but one

:D:D

Ooh, thats a good idea! At the moment, I'm just using it to take blow by blow pix of my shelving projects, which makes for *very* boring photos!

It is! Healthy bones are stronger, and lose less calcium... it goes on and on like that.

Thanks Ellidee! I've bookmarked the article, that looks excellent - I'm going to buy a signal booster, which is only just over a tenner, so I have a signal for Christmas for my mum, but I don't think I'll renew, actually, and mine runs out in February.

Fantastic poem - not seen that one before!

Hope you get some sunshine (or at least daylight) today - it definitely makes a difference

Talking of walnuts reminded me of a recipe I was going to try.

We were staying in a 'Logis de France' and had a super starter. It looked as though it was simple to make, it was goats cheese, topped with chopped walnuts, cooked in a filo parcel (one of those where you make a circle and just pull the edges together at the top and twist). Was really yummy, and looked simple to make. I think it would work nice as a light lunch with salad too.

I do like trying to make up/copy dishes I've tried in restaurants, I also sometimes use ingredients lists of packets to make up recipes too, if somethings been really nice - this works especially well for items like Tesco Finest on the reduced counter, where the ingredients can be really cheap to reproduce. e.g. One of OH's favorite recipes is lamb steaks, sprinkled with chopped garlic and rosemary, drizzled with olive oil, and oven baked, that was a Finest recipe, and really cheap when lamb steaks are on promo, or in the reduced counter.
