Try oats with cold, extremely rich, full-cream milk. The Danish Air
Force served that every morning when I was at DAFB Skrydstrup for a few
weeks in the late 1960s.

Hee! I heat up my weetbix or muesli for one minute in the microwave
every morning. I've gotten so partial to it, I can't eat them cold any
more! DS has just used up the rice left over from last night's tea by
heating it up with milk and shovelling some brown sugar on top of it.
Mind you, it's blessed winter coming over here, so getting pretty nippy
in the mornings. I've been crocheting with smoke coming out of my hook!
You know how you get a bit of a yen to do something a bit different?
I've been fiddling with Irish crochet lately and then managed to come by
some utterly beeootiful polished 4ply crochet cotton on ebay. I'm making
a lacy little jacket for DD out of it. Each morning, as the sun streams
through my window, I park in my comfy chair and let the warmth melt my
frozen muscles. It's good for about three hours and so I hurry to get my
bog-work done and then reward myself with a pleasant time crocheting and
listening to music in the sun. Ah, the small pleasures in life are often
the best, I find!
For anyone who enjoys crocheting and fine needlework, Irish crochet is
*great* fun! It's a lot more complicated and sort of free-form, but is
done with exactly the same stitches, only performed in rather more
creative ways. I really like the three-dimensional aspect of it and the
lovely way you can use cordonnet to build up strong, flowing lines in
your work. I'm only a beginner at the moment, but I've already made a
rose-encrusted baby bonnet (which a dear friend has suggested is

reminiscent of a tea-cosy! ;-> ) If you google 'Irish crochet', you'll
see some amazing pictures of the ravishing laces produced by women of
yesteryear.
