2 successful weeks now of getting out of bed earlier and going to bed earlier and going for a walk each week morning before I start work. Ok, I took one morning off because I had bad hayfever!

Saturdays see me out of bed at 5:30am, yes, before the sun even comes up. I make my porridge, put it in an insulated thermos flask, grab a couple of stainless steel water bottles, some snacks and off I go to play security guard for the triathlon training squad. And today, I made it through the entire day without a sleep. I’m impressed !!

I’m in the middle of launching a new fun website called I Can’t Believe It’s Not A Recipe, which is a tongue in cheek look at how friggin’ lazy and pathetic some cookbooks and cooking shows can get these days. I mean, a piece of pre-made pastry, a tin of Caramel Top & Fill (aka, condensed milk boiled in the can) and some whipped cream isn’t exactly an earth shattering recipe to be handed down through generations – it’s tight-wad cooking for people with no imagination or no time or no cooking skills, pure & simple.
