I'm doing 34 things
This is a problem because i find veg boring-I suppose I need to expand my horizons and try new veg and new recipes. I saw a recipe in a mag the other day that I liked the look of. It was mackerel served with a salad that included beetroot, avocado and spring onions (scallions). Maybe I should just experiment a little!

I started to write a journal after reading The Diary Of Anne Frank, when I was 14. I kept it off and on for the next 30 years or so. It held my thoughts, experiences, dreams and regrets, but I felt that when I finally beat the addiction that had robbed me of my best years, that it was more a record of my sickness and self destruction than of my recovery, and it held me back from living a day at a time. I also realised that I didn’t want my children to read about the part of me that behaved in the ways I tell them not to (!), so I shredded them. I don’t regret that as I’ve had a reminder of the old me in the last few days. My ex-husband, the father of my children, died on 5th June, and I was given a pile of the letters I had written him when we were courting. I don’t even recognise myself from the letters, already prey to the addiction, but I know I wouldn’t want my kids to read them. I shredded them today.
If you are going to keep a journal, use it to encourage you to live your life to the full, in a positive way-it’s too easy to let it become a record of whining, self-pity and blame, and that’s ugly stuff to leave your children. Good luck.
I saw this with my daughter when it came to London. I think I expected to be somewhat revolted by it but it is amazing-very thought provoking.
I especially liked the memorial to the people who bequeathed their bodies to further this unique work.
