For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Oh NO NO NO. Sorry. I was being silly.

[passes vast pink rhubarb pie to MrsC]

and I'd like to give one to TooT too because I should, but she'll have to wait until summer and have an unscreamy one, because that will be best.

Franny. You can have one too. There might be an engagement ring in it you know.

[ardent]

I also agree with NY friend. I cannot fathom how it actually works and that is annoying as it doesn't make any sense, yet it works.

we could spin the pies on the table in a sort of wizardy trick and see who gets the ring.

[doubtful, looks about]

Who's around?

but that wouldn't work because Toot's pie will be brown and mine and Franny's would be pink. Hmmm.

Because if they got the ring, then we'd have to row.

There's a topping on the pie. It's pastry. It's nice.

i worry now. I worry about all the people leaping up from the table and saying 'Oh I'm not hungry' and 'Oh rhubarb will rot my teeth' and then it'll just be me looking forlorn at the table.

too much virtual rhubarb, I am going to cook actual food now.

I will eat all the pies.

That's very loyal of you.

Okay. Summer wedding it is.

oh yep I think they are connected..exctly how I am not absolutely sure

In the usual course of events there is usually one reason why these two things come together, but I'm imagining not in this case Zip?

Avi eat the pie, be careful not to crunch on the diamond.

Oh lully, hope you are feeling much beter very soon.

All this talk of rhubarb is making me homesick. I used to live the the 'Rhubarb Triangle'

Franny said minge.

Lentils count that much I know

don't know what the dickens else is going on here, but am turning pleasantly rhubarby pink in the direction of the ardent 100

and sorry I said minge

what is the Rhubarb Triangle, is it like the Bermuda Triangle but for rhubarb? Iit sounds like that would be 100's house then, did you used to live with 100 OR?

I live in The Golden Triangle

I ate a Dairylea Triangle

[lie]

Yes, 100x and I used to live together in a dark shed where we grew rhubarb. We would discuss American politics at length and wear nothing but cardigans...

It is between Leeds, Wakefield & Bradford & is where something like 90% of the world's rhubarb used to be grown. And, yes, they grow the forced stuff too. I want rhubarb crumble
