    @Cherryfudge my very limited Arabic isn’t repeatable in polite company. Dad was with the Royal Navy in Egypt…….
    I suspect my Dad knew things he wouldn't repeat in front of his daughters. :) 

    As to Taliesin... I'm still learning. :)

    I did French and German at school but only used it when we went on battlefield tours around Europe. I can't have a conversation but somehow manage to understand/ be understood!
    DD has just told me about the 1000 outdoor hours challenge. It's mainly aimed at primary children, but I'm sure it would benefit most people. I'm going to try to increase my outdoor hours next year but may not manage1000 hours!
    During the war years, children would have spent a lot more time outside, and were probably a lot healthier for it. Apparently, American children spend 1200 hours a year on screen time, so the possibility is there, and I'm sure British children are more or less the same.

    @Laura_Elsewhere, I absolutely 100% agree with you on the vitamin d front. DD has MS, and her previous specialist nurse was very evangelical, as you say, about all people, but younger women in particular, taking vit d in these northern latitudes, as it's been proven to help reduce the chances of developing MS.

    I’m refusing to make grandiose resolutions this year. I’m just going to work on being kinder to myself, including moving and feeding myself more things that are nutritious. 
    2023 Fashion on the Ration: Start with 66. Nightdress - 6 = 60 remaining.

    @Laura_Elsewhere and @MrsCD, may I echo this?  Vitamin D is involved in so many processes in the body, including regulating your metabolism and enhancing your immune system.  (I think it has something to do with hormone creation.) From personal experience, once I started taking a Vitamin D supplement, it helped to regulate my periods.
