Another sleepless night, thanks to the racoons, nighthawks, and the resident felines who were desperate to get at all of the above.

Consequently, I'm feeling rather surly and far from loquacious (surely a relief after my last entry). Even a few memorial passes through "Ring of Fire" and "Folsom Prison Blues" were not enough to cheer me up.

The proposed dietetic foods on these weight watcher recipe cards from the mid-70's did cheer me up, however. Especially knowing that I don't actually have to eat any of this stuff. You too can enjoy your own snacks on a stick. Or perhaps you're more in the mood for a nice fluffy mackerel pudding? Yes, these appear to be genuine and there are many more to choose from.

Enjoy your dinner.
