Dedicated Swallower of Passion (Fruit) - 10 / 10 thread

[FrannyandZooey]

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.

Good morning. I have eaten five (small) slices of toast with Skippy and four Nice biscuits and half a pear and some blueberries. That is quite a lot isn't it. I was celebrating having only put on 4 punds after all this morning.

We are going to go to the beach in the sun. Maybe Southwold, or Walberswick. I am going to cook most of a roast before we go so I can just warm it through when we get back. How slack is that?

I ran 8 8 8 yesterday and am very pleased. I am supposed to do the 20 next week.

I don't think of myself as a lentil weaver whatever that is? A lot of my life is actually very un 10/10 but I leave that bit out. Mostly.

sorry MrsC you are quite lentilly

1. you eat healthy food
2. you make felt balls
3. you are NAMED after a vegetable
4. you do breastfeeding
5. erm

anyway those I feel are conclusive in themselves

Lol at doing bf

and I used to make felt balls, for a very brief period.

yes yes you do do it
and once a felter, always a felter

Franny, I learned the violin by the Suzuki method and it is fab and if you have Suzuki people locally then please go for it. Ds could have an 1/8 or 1/16 size violin and in Japan, they start learning at 3 and they do it all by ear and it is wonderful and if I could afford it I would let mine do it. I am teaching dd1 myself atm.

What sort of scissors?

Oh, and WHY did you have kangaroo on your toast?

oh NO @ suzuki
don't the parents have to learn too? and you have to be terribly terribly earnest about practise and stuff?

ooooops

PRACTICE

ahh my pretty

skippy

scissors

though really I meant virtual

Ooh, a new word! I was imagining a complicated and crafty scissor

Franny, I just remember enjoying it, and the playtogethers. Nice atmosphere.
Would you hate to learn? Can't actually remember if you have to. Look, come and live near here and I'll take him

I am haunted by the fact that I never got beyond Vivaldi A minor. Or finished it. I gave up for the stupidest reason.

oh no I don't think I could learn
it doesn't call to me

it does however call to ds. That, and the trumpet

what was the reason?

Golly, me and JJ and ds2 had a lovely walk. The grass was all wet and misty and the sun was warming up. My goodness too, A LOT of people talk to you when you go out with a puppy. Many more than when you're carrying a baby in a papoose thing - or perhaps it's just because I look more approachable and less bleary eyed?

Yes, what made you give up TooT?

DD is loving the violin, she has one of those tiny ones. She loves the case - it has furry yellow lining on the inside - and the smell of it and just everything about it.

Hope you have a good day at the beach MrsC. I liked Walberswick when we went, I liked the chi chi shops and the beach and the houses.

it was because my teacher wouldn't teach me vibrato. She said Not Yet. And I got into a sort of state inside myself and decided that I couldn't live with the shame of being a violinist who couldn't do vibrato, and that it would be better not to be a violinist at all.
Of course, I didn't tell my mother or teacher why - I daresay if I had, something could have been done. But it didn't occur to me.

I have sort of gone back to it in an irregular sort of way. Now I want to learn to fiddle folkstyle.

When I first got my violin I took it to bed with me.

100x, can you prepare dd with a cutting and witty comeback to the endless machine gun jokes? They are very tiresome.

Look at you lot with your filthy minds - i read the title as Deciated follower of passion (which round these parts is the slogan for a dance club)

My mind is as clean as Franny's kitchen floor.

And Franny's mind is as clean as my kitchen floor

DD in her current form would be MADE UP by the suggestion that she was carrying a Ruger through the school car park, believe me, she would.
