it's about 10:29 p.m. here in Nigeria, I'm back from visiting my stepdad at the hospital. Got home a few hours ago, then went straight into a few online gigs. There's a little bit of good news. He managed to eat about four...

Nawsheen It is encouraging to hear there has been a little progress, and hopefully that continues day by day. I can understand why the nurse’s behaviour stayed on your mind. Even small things can leave a strong impression when you are already worried about someone in...

We've been watching movies for the most part all day. I stumbbled on titanic and when it was almost over, is when George became more alert. He seems normal enough now too.

Nawsheen Titanic is one of those films that can still pull you in even when you come across it halfway through. Is there an older film you can watch again and again without getting tired of it?

Nawsheen Homemade preserves have such a different taste from shop-bought ones. You could try plum, raspberry, gooseberry, or even apple next. Do you prefer jams that are more sweet, or ones with a slightly sharp taste?

I still have enough watermelon to make one more batch. But not doing it tonight. I put some in fancy jars and might see how well it sells at the auction. If it would sell good I can buy more jars and watermelon. Hubby wanted to...

Nawsheen Umbrellas can be surprisingly difficult to choose these days, with so many options available, compact, automatic, windproof. If you were buying one, would you prefer a small folding umbrella or a full-sized one?

I become a monster! When I'm frustrated, I get so mad. And then I'd end up crying. I hate the feeling of getting frustrated. Who doesn't? They said writing a journal helps. But I don't want to record any negative feelings...

Nawsheen I can understand not wanting to keep those moments around to reread later. Maybe the journal can simply be a place to unload everything and then close the book on it. Some people even tear out the page afterward.

Nawsheen That sounds like a meaningful way to mark the occasion. Seeing so many red and white flags around the city must make the day feel very special. Do people usually stay in the park after the ceremony, or does everyone head back to work?

Are you guys pretty adventurous with your spices? Do you just use one here and there, or do you buy mixes, where individual specialty batches have been made and sold? Do you have a favorite? I love experimenting with different...

Nawsheen I like spices that can be used in lots of different dishes, so there’s less chance of wasting them. Small packets or ready-made mixes are also a good way to try something new without spending too much. What spice do you think makes the biggest difference to a...

I haven’t had a landline phone in about ten years. I hung on to it for a long time because it was just $2, but eventually even that seemed silly. I mean, my parents even got rid of their landline before I did. Do you still have...

Nawsheen I think the strangest change is that I used to know so many phone numbers by heart. Now, if my mobile disappeared, I’m not sure I could call half the people I know without looking their number up first

Salt can be addictive because consuming it activates the brain's reward system, much like addictive substances do. When we eat salty foods, the brain releases dopamine, creating a sense of pleasure and satisfaction that triggers a...

Nawsheen The good thing is that our taste buds can adapt over time. Gradually reducing salt and experimenting with herbs, spices, garlic or citrus can make healthier food just as enjoyable without feeling like something is missing.

Nawsheen That must have been an unsettling moment, especially when your phone number wouldn’t come to you either. Keeping a record of these moments sounds useful, as small details can easily be forgotten later. I hope you were able to settle down and enjoy your supper...

There are restaurants that sell chili year round, I know. But the friends I have that make their own chili, think it's just for cold weather. Yesterday, my son said ''why has it been so long since we had chili? You always had some...

Nawsheen I don’t think chili has to be only for cold weather. If you enjoy it, there is no reason not to make it at any time of the year. Having homemade soup in the freezer is also very convenient for days when you don’t feel like cooking.

Nawsheen The part about the butterfly eggs smelling like the ants’ eggs is amazing. Nature really has some clever ways of making everything work together. The butterfly house in Ireland must have been lovely too.
