No.4

It was a beautiful winter sunshine day! Now it's a saturday night, so a little of The Cure seems just right. It's not 10.15 yet but listening to this puts me in a teen party mood. Sweaty dance halls, mirror balls, smoke, disco lights, snatched glimpses, big hair, butterflies in your tummy at the sheer novelty of life with hormones....and Robert Smith. "Goth juice...made from the tears of Robert Smith", if you haven't seen The Mighty Boosh yet, enrich your life.

I went to the funeral of a very loved person yesterday. There's nothing like death to give you a good reality slap. Waste no time in living and loving as richly as possible. And I'm not talking about money. Find what is truly meaningful to you and surround yourself with it. I have said this before, happiness is a choice and choosing it will change your life.

No recipe tonight, but toasting marshmallows on sticks around a fire in the garden with your loved ones as the day goes to sleep is..... well, just do it and you'll know what I mean.
