A Big Fat Robin

(Yes, that IS us in the picture on the front of the card!)

Where has the time gone? What a year!

After leaving the bank for ethical reasons earlier in the year, Tony has been headhunted several times ? but he prefers to remain freelance. If there are any odd jobs you need done, do get in touch.

Dan is doing brilliantly at school and, of course, has Oxbridge in his sights. The Meeja belong to a tribe of nomads, so Dan tells me, and he has become quite a specialist in their study. In fact, Meeja Studies occupies most of his timetable.

Sue has turned out so pretty, popular and clever. The jobs she had in those few days were just not fulfilling and she is now doing arts, I think, with a nice bunch of people in a squad, or something. She must be very successful because she always has lots of money whenever I see her.

Little Jemmy is outstandingly bright (that?s a scan of her drawing enclosed for your fridge ? it?s Santa). We have discovered that she has dyslexia - but I?m afraid the teachers are useless. They didn?t seem know what we were talking about at the exclusion meeting last week.

And me? I?m keeping the whole ship together as well as doing my bit for the environment. I organise nighttime vigils in a quiet spot at the end of our lovely garden. It?s open to everyone, but it?s usually just me and a bottle or two of something to keep warm.

What have you been up to?

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
