Saving Time

Strawberry hazelnut tart. So unbelievably full of bad things that all your entire day's calories are contained in one plate. Surely that's a good thing, as it frees up the rest of the day to do more important tasks.

I made this for the birthday girl's lunch today and its heaviness meant a stroll around the village after it before settling down to snooze in front of the football. For a change the commentators were so disparaging of England's performance, nothing else needed to be said and I could switch off and go and enjoy the sunshine.

Heading back early evening for one of the many committee meetings which I seem to have been roped into sitting on. I am the secretary of this particular committee and I struggle every time to concentrate long enough to note down what's being said. One of the committee members has a habit of saying, 'You know' constantly; once I tallied 82 in an hour an a half's meeting. Mind you, I missed the rest of what was discussed.

Maybe like Fabio, my days are numbered.
