Spinach. 3 kilos cooked down = 3 tablespoons.
Red cabbage. A mere quarter will feed 12 people for a fortnight.
Potatoes. 5 kilos roasted won’t be enough for 4.
Vegetable maths.

Both cats shot under the sofa as soon as their travel box was opened and I have yet to see them. Oh well. They're here for at least two weeks.

I'm not a fan of "best of" booklists at this time of year, but I loved this, writers sharing the books they love to give friends & family as gifts. Is a River Alive? & The Man Who Planted Trees are two of my faves. #booksky #reading

“A large national trial of about 46,000 women, 40 to 74 years old, found that the stratified approach to screening worked as well in detecting tumors as universal yearly screening, and in fact lowered the chance that cancers would not be found until they were at a more advanced stage”

“The study randomly assigned 14k women to be screened based on their ind risk, while 14k women continued w/routine annual mammograms. Other participants recruited for the study who didnt want to be rndmly assigned…were allowed to choose their screening approach; **89% chose risk-based screening**”🧪🛟
“We’re still screening the way we did in 1980s,’ [Dr. Laura Esserman, the study’s lead author] said.
‘Every time a celebrity has breast cancer, we hear the message that ‘screening every yr starting at 40 is what’s going to save you.’ But it doesn’t necessarily find those who are at highest risk’.”🧪🛟

Daughter spotted Ben Stokes walking past her in Noosa. She sent a video of what she claims is him walking away. I wouldn't know him from Adam and I would post for your opinion were it not for her comments on the sound.

This was on the returns shelf at the library, so I just thought I'd give it a quick blitz through. More questions than answers, I suspect.

Kind of an Adam Kay thing only for anaesthesiology with added harrowing covid, just to remind us of how brave, hardworking and burned out ICU staff were. A fast, humane read. #booksky

Beautifully written and I so wish I'd read this before the days at my mother's death bed. Most of us will have this to do at some point and I urge you to read it.

It's entertaining, well-written and absolutely on the money about life in cancerland. If you've bought that ticket then I think you will enjoy this book. #booksky

My lovely colleague Abdel announces the stops from Preston with a Marseille twist. Nearly 4 years later, this still makes me guffaw.
