and the potatoes, cauliflower, peppers and onions have been simmered into submission. The kitchen is spotless, the sink empty, the fridge groaning. Plan C beckons winsomely, but my stomach growls in protest. I beg your pardon?? Wonderful.

Back vs. stomach. Hot shower vs. hot food. 23:42 - round 1 to Plan C. But Plan D will be back.... count on it.

P.S. - Is this font getting smaller? or am I just ageing faster??
