Health Kick (Tales from the SSC&B)

The red-headed writer (aka la Raconteuse) had decided that she would not go to the Six-Sentence-Café-and-Bistro today, no naughty-but-nice things to eat just at the moment; she was already primed to eat healthy things, and she had several juices on the go, plus for breakfast she had some muesli and half of a mango.

Then suddenly she could hear a ruckus down below, she opened her front door, it seemed that a couple of officers were waving a warrant around in one of the lower apartments; it was interesting, but best not to get involved, she thought, in any case petty rules were not for her, as she shut the door, and rather quickly.

She potted around in the living space, as she grinned: primal, she thought, it was a new plant called a Venus fly-trap; she peered closer, aha she beamed, another one caught – excellent!

She went to the tiny kitchen, and quickly washed the dishes, but she glared at that messy thing on the corner; perhaps she should forget about using that juicer, it was so messy and fiddly, and it took forever to clean it.

She went for a rummage in the bedroom – lots of things were under the bed – she pulled everything out and there it was, the useful box and inside was the receipt and the warranty, because by this time, she knew she would never use that juicing thing ever again.

But now she was hungry again, what would she eat… maybe another banana?

  5. My first smoothie machine was a bitch to clean, and I ended up throwing it away when I could see mould on the inside. The second one I bought was a much better design, everything came apart to clean, but putting it back together was a bit of a game. I haven’t used it for over 2 years as it holds almost 2 litres and I’m the only one who likes them. Something for the garage sale when/if we move.
    Thanks for joining in Chris.

  7. Love this song, and thanks to Beetlejuice, it returned the airwaves again! And a Venus Fry-trap? The most interesting plant on the planet! But what are those neighbours up to?

  10. again!

    the best of story-telling in the blogosphere, i.e. looking over the shoulder of a character who we know as well as many acquaintances in the ‘real’ world. As Phyllis would say, ‘Characters that we enjoy spending time with…’

    good Six yo

  12. When I was only working part time and home schooling the kids, I was raw vegan and juiced daily, as well as green smoothies, it was worth it. My health has gone so far down because of not having time to do it any more.

    Anyway, good health to you, and a good lunch!
