They gave me some of those, having heard that English people eat toast for breakfast.

@kdfrawg That would be best.

Congratulations!

@kdfrawg “They” don’t seem to have been awfully accurate so far.

Of course! When I went on a trip with my Italian evening class group to Puglia, my host explained that she always gave the children biscuits in the morning, because a good breakfast is important for them.

Everybody uses the label “Mediterranean Diet” to mean whatever they want it to mean these days. It’s a kind of protective talisman. I can recommend whatever I want, and as long as I call it Mediterranean, you can’t argue with it.

Argh.

@kdfrawg It’s not worn out, and it is waterproof, but it’s woollen, so it takes longer to dry than the gap between walks. I just got fed up of putting a cold damp, heavy coat on for the afternoon walk.

Wow. Still!
