five a day

Called in for the 5,000 mile service at the docs today - BP good, cholesterol 3.2, kidneys functioning, liver not fried - but why do my knees make a sound like ripping velcro when I go upstairs? Anyway, it reminded me that my five-a-day means vegetables and not pills. So, tea tonight is Thai fishcakes with cabbage, mange tout, courgettes and mushrooms. Do new spuds count? No. So that's only four then. Better chew on a turnip before bed.
