Mangober’s task is to look for three different items of interest for the warm weather wardrobe. They may be brand new, or be bought economically from an opportunity shop. An element of daring is actively encouraged to influence the choice, so that the tops are more tighter fitting than would be the usually favoured flowing styles. Do not stop to hesitate, gleefully flow those three oldest, largest ones into the rag bag, just as soon as ever it is possible to do so.

If you haven’t already, now is the time to invest in some green serviettes, large serviceable ones that are well able to mop up all the mango juice that is also going to flow. Some will flow down the tunnel as hoped, much will flow elsewhere. Down the nose, over the lips, down the chin and hence onto the serviette. If fresh ones are not available, try some frozen mango on the pancake.

The evening meals feature variety. Each evening we have a different lean meat with different vegetables.

This is the month when we like to have some accounting mathematics. A sufficient amount of walks done over the previous year equals four Mangober Saturday nights chasing Indian cuisine, in particular some Tandoori chicken with salad followed by mango icecream.

It is very pleasing to report that the weight for the end of Septnana is 73.5 kg. That is a fluctuation of 0.5 kilograms for the entire month which is well inside the shape maintaining range.

The guessing of how much custard was required to balance the amount of walks was about right and the portion of meat has been successfully reduced. Each day a collendar page was made which kept my mind concentrating on the Septnana eating theme of beef steak, commercial brand Hollandaise sauce, oven fries potatoes, mushrooms, green beans and cauliflower. A magnificent amount of bananas were munched at all sorts of times of the day and night. For breakfast on cereal, for lunch, for evening meal with pancakes and custard, for supper with other fruits, and if wanted, for snacks as well.

The height of the catalogue stack has also been reduced, although I must admit only by a smallish amount. I do so love that word, “smallish”, don’t you? Its so good to complete the tasks set, even if it is only in a smallish way.

Celebrating the grand final of the sports season? A few less, or even one less alcoholic drink than last year would be tolerable. Hardly even noticeable.
