Hi, Della,

A belated happy birthday to you. It's my birthday next week. Suffice it to say I have finally come of age (which one is open to question!).

Please put me out of my misery - what is avocado and iguana filling The latter part sounds disgusting

Happy birthday for next week, Websailor!
The line about avocado and iguana, comes from an Alexei Sayle sketch from the late '80s or early '90s, and I saw it last week, on a video my brother had - we'd seen it with him years and years ago... British shows are always shown here years after they'r emade if at all - so I think Garth taped it in 1995 or 6. (By contrast, American shows, most of which we get here, are shown immediately, or in one case, *before* they were broadcast in the USA _ The Simpsons and Third rock from the Sun).
I have a strange relationship with food at the moment - I get hungry only in med-to-late afternnon, and the rest of the day, the idea of food makes me especially in the mornings... Well, I am losing weight!

Hi, Della,

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm afraid the programmes you mention have not come into my orbit. We watch little TV and we both like different things, so I often end up missing stuff. Not that it worries me, I prefer this little screen! Much more interesting

I am glad you have lost some weight but it seems a dodgy way to do it. I weighed myself today, the first time for ages and have lost another 7lb. How long it will stay like that I have no idea

I try to eat well early in the day and have less later but it doesn't work very well. I cannot do without supper. Otherwise I would raid the fridge about 3am and eat all the wrong things. Mind, I don't buy the wrong things if I can help it. If it is not in the cupboard I can't have it, can I?

Good luck with the weight loss, but take care.

Hi, Websailor.. I didn't actually set out to lose weight, it's just happened - because at the beginning of the year, because of my brother's death, I was in a state of mind where I couldn't stand the idea of food. Buying only the good stuff is a good idea - I bought a bag of oranges this morning, for my son. He'll be delighted!
We're waiting for sunshine and warmth - it's half past spring! But because it's a long weekend this week, it's gonna rain. It always does!
