The Needles

I looked down at my last piece of cheese cake and thought, coastal erosion.

Cheese Cake



So I had green spinach soup, followed by green spinach dip, then Stiggles turns up with a lime cheese cake. Which by the way was lush. That along with the release of Ray's new book, it's almost like mother nature is trying to tell us something.


That cheese cake there was so tasty, I bet if you licked the screen it would taste of lime.

Ray Mears / Beauty Myth



This is how smart Ray Mears is. He's made a insightful and compelling critique of Naomi Wolf's Beauty Myth on page 110 of his new book, just in passing! Ray Mears can also make a canoe from birch bark.

Ray Mears



Next time someone says what religion are you. I'm gonna say 'I don't believe in God, but I do believe in Ray Mears'. Lots of people say mockingly 'when are you going to utilise these survival techniques you've learned then?'. Two words: plane crash, jungle.

Pet Stroking Glove



That Robert Dyas is a fucking amazing shop. You can buy a special glove for stroking your cat or dog, a scrubbing brush disguised as a potato and a sieve that has been specially adapted for midgets. What can't you get at Robert Dyas?!

Green Lunch

Jeanean also made spinach soup, and fish cakes which I forgot I don't eat. This meant that I had a green lunch - crazy eh?

Intestines



Jeanean hollowed out a loaf of bread and stuffed it with a mixture of spinach, ranch dressing and water chestnuts, a bit like Ray Mears but with less intestines and in an office.

Two Smooth


That's how bad my hangover was. I had to have two Innocent smoothies. Actually one was a Boots own brand freshly squeezed orange juice. It had a label on it which said 'super-food' - so naturally I had to have it.

Gwyneth's Office


I wander if Gwyneth's office is a nice as mine. Sometimes it's like working in a beautiful sun dappled glade.

Vege Fry-up



It would be a vege fry-up in her case, and like me she'd also want a copy of the Guardian with a picture of birds on it.

Gwyneth Paltrow


If Gwyneth Paltrow, asked me what the best way to recover from horrendous hangover is, I'd say: fry-up and bottle of Coke.
