Today we are Cherrymembering spring tasks. Spring is the perfect time to reduce the amount of catalogues that are sitting around, or in a box. All through the year not a thing happens, the stack just gets higher. So in Septnana, in theory, if not in practice, the aim is to make the stack lower again.

Putting away the blue dinner plates, tablecloths and teatowels and gradually introducing green or white ones reminds us that another season has arrived and we may anticipate some more pleasant weather to walk in, particularly if less walking happened during the winter.

Today and tomorrow we are Cherrymembering Septnana. Some Septnana meals have roast beef. Others may have pan fried lean beef steak on the plate. Even pan fried beef rissoles might make an appearance. Either oven fries potatoes or boiled potatoes may be chosen. The constant for this eating theme is that each one features mushrooms, steamed green beans and cauliflower. If fresh tarragon is available some real Bernaise sauce would be a special taste, for one meal. Bernaise sauce might be more accurately called butter sauce so it requires very careful management. Pancakes are served with bananas and custard.

Today we are Cherrymembering the role of Weight Warriors in losing and managing weight.

As well as recalling all the herbs and spices that decorate the plate each month, we remember the task for Augrapes. It is trivially easy. Each week visit a Florist shop and purchase an economical bunch of flowers to colour up the last winter month. Visitors see a mere vase of pretty flowers. We see so much more. A dining table, neat and tidy between meals, proudly displaying the General of all the Weight Warriors. A visual symbol of the progress already made and of the progress yet to be made on the weight loss journey.

Today and tomorrow we are Cherrymembering Augrapes. On tonight’s plate is homemade pizza featuring large amounts of ham and pineapple with a small amount of cheese. Tomorrow’s plate will have a trimmed pork cutlet with commercial brand Hollandaise finishing sauce, oven fries potatoes and steamed vegetables. Fresh grapes follow pancakes well, but on our pancake we prefer to repeat the steamed apples. Some fruit cake may appear at supper time.

Today we are Cherrymembering the Apply task which adds colour and warmth to winter. Instead of eating indulgent foods to counter the cold, bleak weather take extra and more lengthy showers. Use a different towel each time, enjoying the luxury instead of the utility. Allow plenty of time and try out some new products to add interest to the task.
