Just prior to the onslaught of man flu, I met up with genuinej. He is visiting Pattaya on one of his regular “golfing holidays” and he may even have remembered to bring his clubs this time.
Being the fine gentleman that he is, he came bearing gifts. Chocolate eggs, Flakes, Crunchies and, after noting my desire in a previous post, Twiglets!
I took the bag of goodies home, determined to photograph the pile before eating it. But then man flu struck and thoughts of photography soon faded. Instead, as I languished in my pit of pain and self-pity, what emerged was the need for a little snack to cheer myself up. God knows, I deserved it.
This morning I am happy to declare myself fit again, or at least as fit as a pensioner can be who spends most of his time slumped in a chair eating chocolate. Time to photograph the genuinej food hoard; or what’s left of it:
You’ll just have to imagine the Crunchies and the chocolate eggs, and the Flakes and Twiglets are just a representation of the original number. Being ill is so draining on the food supplies.

Flakes and Crunchies they bring back happy memories indeed. Twiglets had never heard of before until now. I thought he was Pooh Bear’s friend. Hope you are on the mend mate.
2011-12-06| Barry saysGlad you got hold of some ’tigwits’, as my wife calls them. But I, being a life-long (well, since about 10 years old) nosher of same, I have noticed they are more ‘solid’ than they used to be, harder to crunch. And no, it isn’t down to my teeth. Recipe must have changed. By the way, they are quite nice if you heat them in a wok, using no fat. Cool before devouring. Also good to do if you let them get stale, which you clearly won’t. I do miss Crunchies, and so will you now that you have none left.

2011-12-06| Spike saysOK, how about “drinking holiday”? Keep doing the stretches and exercises, they will sort you out eventually.
