If it's apples again I'm leafing - 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.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg here and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

I went here once

S'okay Guad,we are TOUGH. And faintly grey
The shower is intermittently obliging.

Most inconvenient for nit-combing though,lots of kettles.

I know darn well you will eat all the basil bread.

Maybe I will make some for our picnic. I don't know how yet. I make quite a nice herb soda bread but I haven't tried it with ordnary flour.

oh there is iced peanut butter parfait on yours as well TooT! how funny. is it trendy or something?
i like peanut butter but i don't like the sound of that at all
guad please report back fully on food, footsie under the table, indigestion, key throwing, presents, the whole lot

That looks lovely, Toot. I like the sound of the salad and sri lankan curry.

I am glad you have a shower.

i want to go back there
can we just ditch all the children and spouses and sod greenwich and go back there guad? i didn't even taste all the little teeny cakes up on the top layer

LOL i was looking at yours still guad! no wonder there was iced peanut butter doodah again

Ooh, TooT, I've been there it is lovely, isn't it?

We m,ust go to the Garden Cafe that I linked you to soon. We can sit in the wind sun and relax.

Guad at night out.
have a lovely time and eat lots. I end up starving befor egoing out and eat a little bit, then am stuffed from not eating so get cross

TooT, you look v clean for not having hot water

Did you not? Why didn't you eat the top layer, I did!

Yes, lets go there again, or a different one. So many to try, so much food to eat. Mmm.

I don't think there is any danger of me not being able to eat a lot, LittleR. I am just thinking of damage limitation.

I am a bit tempted not to bring anyone to the picnic either, certainly not all of them though I expect I will have the littlest.

LR,I went with people who decided they didn't want pudding!!
Lovely lovely people,but oh goodness...

Yes,we should do that. I will have a child-free lunchtime after next Christmas...

TooT, that looks divine. If I am ever able to come and see you, I will take you there!

No pudding
sacriledge.

Actually, I have a lovely, lovely friend, and her dh, and we go out for food (nice food) and they never want pudding
So I look like a pig

Those of you in Suffolk area, have you been tot he Red Lion Veggie pub? It is on my list for when we go there.

broccoli
carrots
roast sweet potatoes
peas

well i did have SOME guad but i didn't have them ALL
the ones i didn't have haunt me sometimes
i want the little one in a tiny glass

lol Franny. Still haunted by dainty cakes you were denied.....

I would have eaten it. No Matter What.
I firmly believe in the 2nd pudding stomach. It is real and exists. Definitely.

oh avi

I can gazump Franny and offer, say, £30?

Oh, hope they like it enough Avi.

On the same subject, the ILs have sold their house so will be moving back in June

They have alluded tha they may stay with us for a while befire renting.....3 adults and 2 children, we have one spare room and a study and 2 bed s
How do I broach this?

I am hoping that they meay mean for a night....they aren't even looking to live anywhere eanr here.
And SIL has to get nephew into a school for Sep.

I'll gazump Molly at £33.80. Any good avi?

People thinking about having railway sleepers in the garden - we did and ours used to leak tar Lovely to sit on with your long cool G&T in the summer. Only you can't get up again and have black stains on your trousers

I did have a turn around the garden this morning. I watered my plants in my little greenhouse (disclaimer: shelving unit with plastic cover)

I like all my descriptions Perhaps we should add not-very-wordy cause I can't do descriptions of anyone else [thick]

We've just booked legoland and will probably be coming to London. Hoorah!

DH entered into a long discussion with some JWs once. I just felt sorry for the children and wanted to ask them in to watch TV or something!! I like your idea Molly about telling them all about your Gods

Hmm - the builder did talk about tar or creosote in the sleepers but I thought he was making a fuss because it's less work for him if we don't need footings and building.

It oozes out when it gets warm. Just in the odd spot. Worth having still cause they look lovely but just be aware and don't sit out there in white trousers

Avi!

Oreos are dairy free, hurrah!

I will go with Toot and have:

green olives with garlioc and parsley flat brread and sticky toffee pudding.

Off out for girly day with friend.

Oh...I am working and you are all chatty and stuff...but I am going to throw this in because it is making me smile

Have good days all and especially those who are going out.....

oreos are dairy free? Happy days.

Re the Lavender Restaurant - is it run by Timothy Spall?

The menu sounds utterly wonderful.

Dd2 and I had an appointment with The 'Erbalist today. We both looked rather serious and ashen.
