Yesterday we went to that cafe Fred used to use.Not the one where he had the sausage sandwiches but the other one where they gave him a cup of tea when he fell out of his wheelchair.

Anyway, even as I had not finished my dinner, I thought i would have a sweet. Most of their sweets are Brake Brothers but they do make some as well and the one that appealed to me was the fresh fruit pavlova. I am not that struck on meringue but I thought I could leave that and eat all the fruit I had in my mind's eye. I was imagining a flat creation with strawberries and raspberries and blueberries and all sorts of luscious fruit on it so I asked for a bit of Mr Whippy with it rather than cream which I also don't like much.

Oh, sad, when it came to the table it was about four inches high, and inch of which was meringue and the other three whipped cream. The fresh fruit component was a few raspberries and some sliced strawberries. Just to complete the disappointment, it had that red sauce stuff zig-zagged over it!

I think you should go often, each time trying a new treat until you can pick the best one...

Do you think I have nothing better to do than to eat puddings I don't like? I suppose you must do.

Maybe I don't know it's got to be better than ironing surely ?!

Worse things than eating puddings you don't like.......listening to music you don't being played on a loop...

As Caroline said, ironing.
Being 'mansplained' at.
Sitting on a bus filled with children eating 'Haribos' or 'monster munch' (instant 'gagging' on my part)
Cutting the hedge

Hearing my neighbours 'talk' to each other in the garden (98 decibals minimum)
Why do they take phone calls in the garden?

Doing the dishes
Doing any housework
Clearing up cat vomit.


I could go on........
