…”these are my salad days”, (that is what they sing in “Gold” isn’t it or have I been wrong all these years?). Anyway, I digress, as usual!
Last week we had a heatwave in the UK. Apparently five consecutive days where we reach 30 degrees celsius, eighty-six farenheit, is officially a heatwave. I loved it! Blue skies, sunshine, warmth and a rare chance to wear Summer clothes. Let’s face it, we don’t get brilliant Summers so any chance to enjoy the good weather and we’re out there.
This beautiful weather kick started me back to healthy eating. After my gall bladder removal operation I ate very little, eventually progressing to fresh soup, fruit and bran flakes. I lost a stone in weight and felt great, my clothes were not straining to fit anymore. Of course as I healed I fell back to bad habits, biscuits, chocolate and yes even cake. I admit I enjoyed it better when I was eating healthy and not having to worry about what I was eating, because it was all healthy. I just need to keep the momentum up now that the weather is back to rain between the showers and colder than average for the time of year. Here comes Summer 🏖☀️😎
You know it’s Summer when the Strawberries are sweet.
I think I’m addicted to falafel 🥙
Making good use of my Ninja again!
Yes, falafel again.
I’m also addicted to avocado 🥑 but limit my fix…not the cheapest – wait for the bargains.

My daughter wants me to get a Ninja, but I can’t get my head around its upside down design!

It’s noisy too but it totally pulverises the fruit into a great smoothie. I tried making veggie drinks but they were gross, can’t get the hang of adding lemon or lime or something else to get the taste right but using fruit is a winner.
