I have realised that I do quite like cooking after years of disliking the activity. What I do REALLY dislike is clearing up. OK, so most of the stuff goes in the dishwsher, but there are always certain things that have to be washed in the sink. And as for the cooker............it is often said that ironing is the most disliked chore but I beg to differ. Without doubt cleaning the oven is orders of magnitude worse.
I would like these celebrity chefs, who have probably forgotten the last time they went near a kitchen sink, and have an army of minions clearing up behind them, to construct a meal ( a proper meal, not sandwiches or a salad) that has minimal mess and no mucky pans or ovens.
Wouldn't that be good?

olympic boycott
I am going to boycott the Olympics.
I know this will cause great consternation among the organisers as I am such a fan of all things sporty but it is turning into a marketing event with a bit of sport on the side.
The sales and distribution of tickets is a joke. I only know one person who has managed to buy tickets but there seem to be lots available to buyers of chocolate bars. One usually equates sport and health so perhaps tickets should be given away with the purchase of fruit and veg.
And now we have the proposed opening ceremony at a cost of £27million being the most expensive village green ever!! Artificial rain for goodness sake!!
And the country is supposed to be how many billions in debt?

Monday 11th June
Now I know what it feels like to live at the bottom of a pond.
It has rained all day. I put a 50litre container underneath a leaky gutter and it filled up in two hours!!
Much to my frustration I have a large water butt just waiting to be connected to the downpipe.

women hold up half the sky
...a quote by Mao Tse Tung apparently.
Did there used to be a women's movement called 'feminism'? I seem to remember something of the kind in the 1960's and '70's where women campaigned for equal pay and conditions and to be considered as equal in intellect and abilities as men - or did I dream it?
The BBC sports personality of the year is a men only event. I am not keen on sports but even I am aware that there are some world class sportswomen in this country at the moment.
In all sorts of ways we seem to have plunged back to the 1950's. I can't be the only person who is not happy about this.
