A Book and it's Cover

Is it wrong to judge a book by its cover? I think in the literally sense maybe when talking obviously about a book. However, even then I have seldom chosen a bad book based on its cover. When taking into consideration the cover of a book you have to remember to look at it in its entirety and that this would include the blurb on the back cover as well.

When looking at this principle where people are concerned I have never been wrong when judging them by their covers or how I find them from a first impression (remember to look them up and down now!!) I do of course try and give them the benefit of the doubt that I am taking them as I see them from a first impression, but I am always proved right with my gut instinct.

Maybe this could be put down to women’s intuition, but I can spot a person who is out for themselves from the off and I am rarely wrong. Lol talk about blowing my own trumpet. These people always show their true colours even if it takes some people longer to catch on than others. These people also tend not to have many life long friends either, as they have normally betrayed them.

I might be venting a bit from personal experience as well, but I am thinking should I go with my first instinct from the off or should I wait for people and give them the benefit of the doubt? I think given my nature I will always give people the benefit of the doubt and be glad when I am proved wrong. I might not have an army of friends but I know a lot of people and the ones I consider friends are all loyal and trustworthy. I know that when in a spot of bother they will be there for me no questions asked.

I think you are right to go with your instinct as in 99% of cases it will (probably! LOL) be correct. There is always the danger though that you will miss that 1% and that's often where the uncertainty and angst lie as it might take a while to prove that your initial instinct was right!

28 Years Later

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend. Who would have thought it? We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house. Goodness knows. Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other. I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons. I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all. Also she doesn’t judge. I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirk...

Pumpkin and Butternut Squash Pie

I love the autumn and the seasonal vegetables it brings. One of my favourites being pumpkin. Well in a nod to this here is my really simple pumpkin and butternut squash pie. 2 bags of pre cut pumpkin and butternut squash (why sweat over cutting them up when Tesco do them in a bag £1 each and 3 for 2) garlic goats cheese spinach filo pastry olive oil salt and pepper to season Steam cook the pumpkin and Butternut squash as directed on the packet. In a pie dish layer the bottom with spinach, add chunks of goats cheese (as much or little as you like), then add one layer of the pumpkin and butternut squash and some garlic, season. Repeat this for the second layer - spinach, goats cheese, pumpkin and butternut squash, garlic and season. With the filo pastry, for goodness sake buy this, even Mary Berry admitted to doing this!!! Take a sheet at a time brush each side with olive oil and scrunch up by pinching from the centre and add to the top of the pi...

Like to Graze?

Well, I have started to try and be healthier, mainly with making my portions smaller and doing some exercise. I now try and go for a run once a week (to start with) and my sister and I now attend Aquafit every Thursday. The other evening when I went to one of my fantastic friend’s house I noticed these delicious looking healthy snacks on her table, brimming with flavour and healthy goodness. I just had to ask her about them. They come from a company called Graze, which is online. You can order boxes from them (a snack box or a nutrition box) which will be delivered straight to you either weekly or every other week, for a small cost (cheaper than buying it all from a supermarket for sure). The box is small enough to fit through your letter box as well, so you don’t have to worry if you’re in or not. Also you can tell them when you’re going to be on holiday so they won’t send you a box during that time. These boxes are filled to the brim with goodness, and contain things like nuts,...
