I began this blog on October 1st 2013 when I was 6 months away from my 50th Birthday and wanted to daily record my year with the blog ending on September 30th 2014. Five years later as I approached 55 I repeated this. Now ten years after this all began as I prepare to reach my 60th birthday in 2024 once more a daily update beginning on October 1st 2023 and ending on 30th September 2024. It is a personal journey, which others may find mind-numbing!

April 25th 2014
Masterchef finalists have nothing on the culinary excellence seen here before you! A day at home doing domestic chores and a bit of lounging about watching Dirk Bogarde being a hero in a WW2 film, after all I am on a R&R holiday. By 4pm however I realised I'd only had two minute slices of toast and marmalade at breakfast. I was wasting away. Searching through the empty cupboards that I have at home, I really do need to learn how to keep cupboards stocked, I came across the following. 3 fresh tomatoes, some pasta, some cheese, a tin of sweetcorn and a carton of chopped tomatoes in mixed herbs. That'll do I thought and in it all went without any preparation, thought or planning and into the oven. Half an hour later I gave it a bit of an oscillation and applied the fresh toms and grated cheese. Half an hour after that it emerged from the oven looking quite delicious. It was, although for reasons which fail me the pasta was just the wrong side on undercooked. Supper from an empty kitchen in the heart of Somerset. Now that's a kind of magic.
