Dear Dairy 15 reasons why dairy is the most superior food group by far. 1. Yogurt. Enough said. 2. Milk itself. Without it babies would not grow. Also our bones would get crumbly. It is very fulfilling, and fills you up very well when running has made you feel empty. 3. Creamy things eg. pavlova with fruit on top. And fruit fools. 4. Ice cream . Mostly vanilla, or all the different continental fruity flavours. But not too often. On a hot day. Or with apple crumble and custard. Also chilli ice cream is a very excellent and peculiar food stuff. 5. Plain yogurt. mmmmmmmmmm. 6. Tea with milk. Such a friendly drink. For any occasion. 7. Hot chocolate. As above. Especially on cold days. And in a cafe with squirty cream and marshmallows on special days. 8. Dark chocolate. The only sort of chocolate worth eating. Especially green and blacks. 9. Extra mature cheddar. And other crumbly sorts of cheese like cheshire and white stilton with apricots. 10. Yogurt again. With an h this time - yoghurt. 11.Cows. Well this is basically an ode to cows. But they are quite fabulous creatures. They have several stomachs which is very clever of them. 12. Custard. What would the world be like without custard??? Answer: it would be like France. Which is really quite a tolerable country but you can understand why they are all always on strike. 13. Evaporated milk. In Ghana they use this instead of milk because there aren't any cows. It tastes very good in tea (surprisingly) , custard, and on baked apples. Mmmm. 14. Lots of calcium for your teeth and nails. Very important. And protein which makes you grow and repair things. 15. Generally all of its products taste ridiculously good; which when you consider what it actually is is really quite odd.

if you will insist on all talking at the same time... Another experiment. The first line from the first line of one blog, the second from the second of another, etc etc. All from people I know... The thing about Sundays that is sad is that when adverts at the top of the page are currently for the pinata butterflies in the dark with hammers. Here's Cat wearing the sombrero wherein we put all the 'candy' Scott had israel, nation and tribes... there were big divides between the tribes in the there are 10 of us a key lock was not such a great idea so we ordered one with a key pad and it was duly quite honestly, pretty boring. Just dropped my laptop on the way down the stairs and it's not looking a slower death. When I read her books I experience an identification adequate, unfortunately it has to be, particularly with thursday nights block booked for the forseeable future I'm left with it can also make you fly. As I continued my journey home snow began to fall despite the photographic evidence. It’s a bit blurry but you can still make out the salubrious stripeyness. Another interesting toilet thing in Rome can be found on the Corseo - learn from those who live life in the slow lane, aside from not dying of cardiac arrest aged 49 it just allow themselves up on stage in front of a gigantic yellow backdrop with assorted child-drawn be another way of putting it.

ten reasons why life is like chicken stock 1. it's meaty 2. cloudy is ok 3. it makes good soup 4. there's more life in the fluid than the bones 5. easily confused with apple juice 6. it can be a funny brown colour 7. eggs were involved at some stage 8. you can get it from the supermarket in foil packed cubes but it's nowhere near as good 9. it has chickens in it 10. it has an 'i' in it

chapter 6 - control When is it alright to let go? A 1am head dialogue. Fred: Time is valuable, right? So isn't making the most of every moment the best way to live a fruitful, fulfilling and worshipful life? Edith: But rest is also valuable - so I am told. Not wasting time as such. So it follows that making best use of time incorporates rhythms of action and rest, involvement and retreat. This also releases you to be creative, fully yourself, which gives glory to God. Besides which your adjectives have lost their life - freedom isn't just about productivity you know. Fred: I know that. But then making decisions about when to do which involves a whole head process, and a responsibility which brings you back to the same problem as the 'overefficiency' quandary, surely? Edith: Then again, why should you feel 'responsible' when you live under grace and not law? Do you still believe that you are what you do? What about love? Fred: No, but time IS valuable. And we are in a sense responsible for what we are given - we are called stewards. Besides, if you open yourself up to love, you start to see things you want to see restored, changed, broken. You start to care. And then you want to use your time as best you can... Edith: But sometimes it's alright to let go. To trust God. That doesn't mean you cease to care - it's more about the right to control it. He wants both you and the people around you to become all they could be, to be fully free. Fred: True - but when I let go I often block out the pain of others. The need to respond. I feel like doing nothing except being selfish. Edith: Are you sure you're not just afraid that that's what would happen? Fred: Yes, I've known it happen. Right now I feel apathetic. I want to bury my head in the sand, or hibernate. Not to care. Edith: What are you scared will happen if you do that? Fred: I'm not scared - or, perhaps a part of me is, that I'll cease to exist. The other part is more concerned that like every one else, there is a selfish part in me that does just want the best for myself. Edith: What about that everything will all go wrong and the people around you will fall apart? Fred: Maybe. But also, it just seems like a waste of time to do that. There's so much else you could be doing. No, you're right on a deep level it is maybe more about the control and responsibility. Even when there's good stuff mixed in. Edith: Maybe you should just let go. Whoosh. Fred: Easy for you to say... but what does that even mean? Do nothing? Do stupid things? Cease to think? Edith: I don't know. I'm going to bed
