Broccoli and kohlrabi, when they are both full grown.....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.

Not, bitter, SB. A little indignant maybe.

A spammy email. Freaky or what?

Aw, Guad!

That is very peculiar. I did send you an e-mail earlier though. Did you get it? It didn't say Guadalupe though as far as I know!

Yes I did, thank you. That's why I was thanking you for caring. I can't say much on email.

And it was just after I'd thanked you that the spammy thing came through.

Oh I see. I thought you were thanking me because I said the glass must have taken ages to pick up.

I am very tired now, I think I must go to bed. Ds2 is already warming it up for me though I will attempt to shift him into his own. He always climbs back though.

The spam thing is tres odd.

Night night xx

Night, Toot.

Night Guad

Night Toot

It's like the Waltons in here!

hey - took an age to find you - never mind read the thread - need to get on threads I'm on

Hello Mangolassi

Hey, you've been a busy bunny!

Any plans for another date?

Yes! Hooray.

How are you, mango?

Ooooh, that is exciting!

I MADE SOUP TOO

Well done, Mango. Yours sounds fancier than mine. Mine was rotting veg soup from things I found lurking in the fridge. Was quite tasty tho.

Mmm, it was spicier than I intended - did you know that dried chili is spicier than fresh? I know now... My biggest problem with this whole cooking thing is ingredients - I don't know what half the stuff in the market even is.

I'm rubbsih at cooking. I can bake but thats not as good for you.

I found one of these in my green grocer's last week: A Budda's Hand

you just made me snort at work - wtf is that? Did you buy it?

No! I refused because it was so freaky. It;s a lemon, bred (thats not the right word, is it?) for its zest. But very strange

I was always the kid at school that was last to be picked for teams/partners etc and recently did a big post about the long term effects of bullying. So checking my e-mails yesterday and finding 5 invites to be facebook friends really really overwhelmed me........ thank-you, it has touched me deeply and brought a tear to my eye.

Smiles, I've been looking at your website, your work is beautiful. I'm coveting all the animal ones, especially the lizards. Any chance of you doing prints, or something I might be able to afford? Postcards? Anything?

, thank-you mangolassi...I am planning postcards in the spring and will keep you in mind.
There are two exhibitions I would really like to do again locally so I have to get my act together....I am sooo excited.
I hope your life has resumed a somewhat calmer aspect.
I love the meditation thread...it is inspirational.
