Over the years I saw quite a few scientific studies on the benefits of caloric restriction. At first the studies in nematodes (microscopic worms) showed they lived much longer if given limited food. Then there were studies in...

— ** -*- * @Fleura “We”? I think it’s only us on this journey. I started after the bank holiday so it’s obviously not a problem for me. I’m impressed you fast all day until dinner time. As I’ve said, I’m eating small amounts 3 times a...

I have ‘won’ an item of furniture on Ebay and I need to go and collect it. I asked, earlier in the week, if I could go today and the seller said yes. This morning I got some work done then emailed to ask if it was OK to come...

My wife’s friend Doreen's bathroom is as well organised as the rest of her meticulous life though you don't realise until you're sat down on the potty. There, right in front of you, just 18 inches in front of your face, are seven...

Fiacre Banks @Fleura On the back of the bathroom door which you must squeeze past and close before attempting to sit. Pillar box red is one of the selection and I’m sure she must have sourced them from a novelty shop even though she’s not a novelty shop kind of person.

Fiacre Banks @fleura Mine used to lay her egg every morning on top of my wardrobe, another chose the hearth, and with all that clucking I was always up in time to let Audrey lay hers on my pillow. My mother tried for a while to discourage this but hens is hens.

My understanding is that inverted commas indicate one of two things. Either they are used as speech marks, to report the exact words spoken by someone else as in, for example, “Would you like a drink?” Robin asked. The second is...

Judy Evans @Fleura We knew an Ann Berger once (hamburger). I'd forgotten about her. When we were in the brass band, we had a piece called 'For An Occasion'. Say that quickly and see what you get.
