I went out with my friend on Friday night, to a small Irish bar near us. We've been before and always had a great time. This time was different. While my friend was away at the loo, the man next to me tried to take her drink. I stopped him with a smile and he apologised. My friend (who is 4 years younger than me) came back. The man said to me 'Is this your friend or your DAUGHTER?' I like to think he was drunk and got confused with the usual line of 'Is this your friend or your mom?' I am, quite rightly, in high umbridge. I am shocked at the rudeness, confused as to how the remark could have been made, given that I look younger than he suposed and I feel cheated th…

Pastry

Help all you brilliant cooks. I have been making pastry and mince pies for many many years with brill results. But the last year or two (and especially this year) the pastry has not 'worked'. It is very very soft and difficult to handle and when cooked is doughy instead of flaky and light. So many batches have ended up in the bin. Any suggestions? ps I have tried all different sorts of fat by with no success. This dod not used to be the case!!

Hi - In all my years of being a Leonard Cohen fan (since 1979) I've never met another, so I suppose the chances of anyone being interested in this program are slim... However, there was an excellent interview with the great man last night on Front Row (radio 4). You can find it here - click on the Monday Listen Again button for the program for the next seven days. And for those to whom I've revealed entirely too much about myself with this confession - apologies!

went to hospital for the unveiling of my boobs and results of what they took away last week..............and sadly, it wasn't as good news as i'd hoped for.The nasty little beast has moved into my lymph nodes, so i will now definately need chemotherapy, followed by radiotherapy and more surgery then to remove all the lymph nodes in my right armpit.Lovely surgeon was sad to give me the news, but it is what it is and not his fault!I shall need some warm hats for the spring chill as all my hair will definately go, so watch out for funky me! Surgeon says i have 70/80% chance of surviving for the next ten years,so that should see me right, as I reckon new treatments are coming…

In all the years I've been doing Preschool - since 1990, We've never had a child at Preschool with a broken limb. However, since EYFS became mandatory, we've had 3! All happened out of Preschool, but are we encouraging children to be more adventurous in their play - to the extent that we were at children? Should we be shouting 'hooray' that children are learning about taking risks? All tongue in cheek of course - but it does seem odd that we've had 3 since September!
