Did you know it is illegal to die in the houses in the Houses of Parliament in the UK? This is because if you do so you are entitled to a state funeral and the government does not want the expense. What I would like to know is...

5th House @Jackalyn I wonder what other weird laws there are out there. Let's not forget that one that says it's illegal to have a TV without a licence. I bet some countries think we're bonkers with that one.

I once wrote this article on Marmite and was horrified when the writing site I wrote it on got zillions of views but only recorded my cut as very little. However. it was fun to write the piece. I'm always surprised when people...

5th House @Jackalyn When I call it a 'sauce' I am probably stretching the terminology. You just cook your pasta as normal and drain it, reserving a little of the cooking water. Then melt a blob of butter and a heaped teaspooon of Marmite in the pan. Return the pasta...

Before I headed to bed last night, something told me that I should check the weather forecast. I knew it was going to get cold here in north Florida, but I was surprised to see that we had a freeze warning in effect for most of...

5th House @moffittjc I'm off to the Sussex coast this weekend. Dreading to think how cold it'll be down there!

I've not been on Mylot much over the past week. I've been hobbling around with bad heel pain, which I suspect is the dreaded plantar fasciitis, the scourge of runners everywhere. I've been doing a lot of stretching and...

Even while the Halloween items are on clearance, the stores are putting out Christmas displays, promotionals and food. Enter the sugar cookie pringles. For those who aren't familiar "Pringles" are a particular kind of potato...

5th House @FayeHazel I think it will probably just taste like regular smoky bacon but I'll definitely be getting some to try. I think Pringles do a roast turkey variety for the festive season also.

5th House I've felt a lot better today, thanks. Just have to be strict with myself now and not try to go back to running until my foot has healed.

As most of my friends seemed to enjoy the Field of Light post, I thought I'd share photos of another installation which was set up in 2009 just out the small town of Menzies. This bizarre installation was called 'Inside Australia'...

5th House I bought some Epsom salts and have been adding them to my bath. They are good for general aching. I've also wondered whether I should be taking nutritional supplements given that I'm of the age when my bones are perhaps not as strong as they used to be.

5th House @saulgoodman We moved up here 19 years ago. In some respects it was like coming home because I was born up here, but I'd lived in London a long time. I didn't really miss it at all. It was just nicer to live somewhere with nice countryside on our doorstep...

5th House @saulgoodman I think they are. I think we're all at the mercy of big business and financial institutions really. I'm not actually certain of the differences between working class and middle class anymore. It can't just be about money, because often working...

5th House Yes, I think I will have a proper rest now. I had one last run to do before I finished the Couch to 5K program, so was keen to get that out of the way. Now it's done I can relax for a bit.

5th House I was reading about these inserts earlier on. I think I'm going to give it a couple of weeks of rest and exercises and if nothing's improved, go and see the doc, try to find out what's going on.

I feel very organised today. This morning I decided it was time I put the slower cooker (crock pot) to use again. It's rainy outside, has definitely got a little cooler, so it seems like the season for it. I've made a beef and...

5th House @moffittjc The cynic in me says elected politicians don't run the world; big business does and the unelected people behind these mega businesses. So whoever we vote in, nothing much changes. But yes, there are many good, ordinary, hardworking people and...

5th House @moffittjc I didn't even stay up to watch the last General Election we had here. Just heard the damning exit poll and went off to bed in a state of depression. Woke up even more depressed because things were even worse than the poll had predicted.
