Burning calabrese I think I'm burning calabrese I really think so - 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.

Ooo, I may be able to swish samphire this summer. Maybe!

actually, I'm a little hurt at not being considered an earth mother.

you give me grief, guad, all the time gathering samphire from the marshes?!

I don't know what samphire is. Don';t tell me - I'll look it up.

You are a 1.5. ANo0ther category might be needed.

Molly, you were classed a hippy. That is above and beyond an Earth Mother, I think.

yes, above and beyond

Samphire gathering does not a hippy maketh. Everyone does it in north norfolk, from the locals to the london-on-sea meedja types to the swishers.

really?

norfolk sounds more and more like another country

but only the hardcore cook it in a pot with stookey blues by their bus.

I have never been to norfolk. Am now suspicious of norfolk

You should be.

I don't understand that.

I have a cold and this norfolk talk is making my head swim even more

You are the one talking the norfolk talk with your 'giving me grief'. Or was that unintentional?

though it sounds more like 'starp givven meeh greef, boy'.

Molly, no photos on this one, thank god.

The lasat one I did was by a social worker who had photos and stories and all.
Thsi one was much less personal; but drew details from Soham and Baby P and Victoria Climbie which is obviously topical.

Pointy, safeguarding children course.

Um guess I am 2 ish. Am not sensible enough to be with 100
Ask TooT! Actually, don't!!!

I am asking my mate in Suffolk if she gathhers samphire.

Mmmm, stookey blyes.

lol - I had no idea giving me grief was norfolk. My knowledge of norfolk is nil. I have no idea what people say there. It is still a mystery part of the UK to me.

I think I menioned it once last year as a possible holiday destination to dh. He looked at me blankly, mumbled something about a barge holiday to the norfolk broads when he was a boy and said it would take an age to drive there. Must admit, I was as blank as him.

LR, what do you do?

ah ok, we call it child protection up here.

1. hippies: toot, moll
2. mother earth and other leanings: fran, avi, boco, moveit, bunny, guada, rach
3. fussy and swishy: (no one yet. I'll give you samphire)
4. straight up and down, no twists: 100, guada, pink

Add yourself to 3 pointy??

1. clipboard, pince nez: pointy

1. hippies: toot, moll

I made mistakes in the last one.

100 has so got twists
guad is arty and not straight
pink is...pink
aaaargh pointy you are boxing us all in, man

ha! I didn't even notice 3 was down twice! [number blind]

lolol at 'I'll give you samphire'. You should try it, it's slippery and salty, not unlike asparagus.
