Fake Tan and Lemonade

Just found a good fake tan. Two disadvantages are that it puts glittery stuff on your skin as it colours it slightly when you put it on, and worse, it is sticky. However if you can stand it, the colour is fairly deep and even and looks quite real the next day, once you have showered the glitter stuff off. It's called l'Oreal Sublime Bronze tanning gel in a brown tube. Once it is a decent colour you just need to top it up maybe once or twice a week. Result!

Made an appointment to see a quack next week to obtain a medical certificate to say I am fit enough to go on holiday with the punters. Also I notice they have doubled my dose of diuretics for the past three or four prescriptions, which I think is a mistake since they have not mentioned this to me and when I was taking this amount before they told me that the half dose had the maximum effect on blood pressure rate , so reduced it. We shall see.

Cleaned silver, which may need another go, and made some more walnut bread. The gazpacho improves on keeping in the fridge overnight. Perhaps, as it is cold, it gives more time for things like garlic to blend in well.

To make some very mild pleasant lemon drink. Slice up a lemon and place in a 1pt container with sugar to taste, and if wished, a fresh bayleaf. Fill with boiling water. Leave and after an hour or so remove the fruit etc and press the rest of the juice through a strainer back into the liquid. Chill and serve with ice.
