Excuse me for a minute now, it is time for my second enema. I am looking forward to it. More news to follow.

The Door Opens
Another shitty night. One of the worst. I went to sleep at eight o’clock after taking my medication and by one o’clock I was wide awake. Not only that, my head had become jammed down the side of the bed.
The day after that, if there is another day, I will try and say something about drugs. Who could resist?
Stay with me friends, don’t let me go.
In these shitty times, your loving cripple, Hanif.

I’m so thrilled to see my mum’s recipe here - learnt from her mother who learnt it from her father who ran a restaurant in Southampton for the well to do before the First World War. Delicious now as ever! Thanks Nigella for this continuing thread of great British dishes.
For those of you who know Nigella from her tv shows, may I introduce the real thing? This interview brought back many happy memories for me as an old school friend of hers: meals and recipes shared, those we have lost and above all her honesty and humour. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3cszj…
