On The Whole, I Prefer Christmas As

I'm Not Someone Who's Endlessly Patient And Wonderful.

I Used To Refer To Myself As Typhoid Mary. It Wasn't That I Was Jinxed, I Just Seemed To Bring Ill Fortune To Anybody I Was Close To.

Also, In A Funny Way, If You Have Been Happily Married There Are No Unresolved Areas, Nothing To Prove To Yourself After The Other Dies.

I Think Maybe When You Live With Someone Who Is Really Very Ill For A Long Time, It Somehow Gives You More Of A Greedy Appetite For Life And Maybe, Yes, You Are Less Measured In Your Behaviour Than You Would Otherwise Be.

I Am Not A Chef. I Am Not Even A Trained Or Professional Cook. My Qualification Is As An Eater.
