The Butterfly Who Flapped Too Hard

  • Cancer; causes, cures, and cakes.

    First off, as a random aside, LID is well and truly out of the window today as lunch consisted of a bed of a sandwich. It was a mattress made of Hovis seeded bread, with a mattress cover of butter, made up with a sheet of tart mayonnaise. Then prawns and perfectly ripe avocado were tucked into bed, with a duvet of smoked salmon. I was planning a yoghurt as pudding, but after one slice, I felt ill so had to give up on…
