Brain Tiredness

Wendy asked what the cure for Brain Tiredness might be from the Miracle Workers book a couple of posts ago.

Take a heaped tablespoon of MOTHERWORT, onto which is poured a cupful of boiling water; allow to cool, and take in two doses at half hour intervals.

Not at all surprised to find it's mother-wort you need - good old mothers!
And in 1935 Frank W Parton says in the section 'General Hints'

Self Raising Flour -stuff, the sale of which will, in an enlightened age, be prohibited.

This is the thought I will leave you with for now dear reader.

Thanks for this Katie I'm off to make a mix right now. Late to bed last night, friends were over for a BBQ,. I did wonder why people were raving about my blackberry and apple pie.............it's because it was made using prohibited goods.

I read the first half of above comment thinking 'what moron commenter is this- mum must have a weirdo fan like some on yarnstorm (jane- thats ultra-cool, by coincidence i had some cake too today and my favourite colour is also blue- we're like, twins!!!!! etc etc you get the drift) but then i see that its author is my dear absent brother- who i will see in less than a week (to say i am just exited would be like equating huw edwards with chris peacock on points west- this does make sense) and all is good.
lots of love to my bros whichever hood they be in... and to those parent people as well xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
