Something is afoot in the world.
There are certain signs that something is taking place.
1. Our team won the inter-church quiz and the prize
was Thornton's chocolates.
2. I went into school to teach Latin. My pupils had just had domestic science and were each carrying a tub of warm cheese scones. Several were kind enough to offer them to me. (Clearly I must appear undernourished….or maybe I was just drooling slightly.)
3. In came nice Mr P . He was carrying a massive piece of iced carrot cake. His mother had made it to share with his colleagues, but it now needed eating up. My pupils and I are nothing if not obliging.
4. Then to Hilary’s for church house group. But house group was having a shared meal. In the face of the mouthwatering dishes that my friends had prepared, my resolution crumbled like shortcrust pastry.
5. The most recent happening is my discovery of a crushed box of Belgian chocolates in our bedroom. We bought them for Nigel’s parents but he failed to deliver them and appears to have trodden on them instead. We can’t give them away now!

Have you guessed?
Yes, I am trying to lose weight.
No wonder I am rubbish at dieting.
It is completely not my fault.
The whole world conspires against me.
Perhaps for Lent, I should give up trying to diet.
