“How capricious of you,” my friend said, as I bent down to give a homeless man a cup of hot chocolate, sausage roll, and a pack of doughnuts. “Thank you,” he said. I stroked his pooch. I almost wished I brought a few treats, and retrieved a pack of cooked chicken from my shopping bag.

Diets are something I have tried over the years since I was old enough to worry about my weight. Not that I had to when I was younger. My metabolism was really good and I could eat anything.

Word of The Day
“You don’t understand Mum, it’s the party of the century, and I’ll be a laughing stock at school if I don’t go!” “I’ve made up my mind, you have exams in a few months, and there will be other parties.” Kylie glared, and slammed the kitchen draw shut, nearly trapping it in her fingers. “I’mContinue reading “Word of The Day”
