On a wild food diet I thought I could avoid the outside world. Ha! You couldn't make this story up. Please ignore this if you a) don't want to read about shit or b) are happy with Brexit.
I love that. I read Caitlin Moran’s first book “How to be a Woman” in an airport and on a plane. I had to keep apologising as tears streamed down my face and I howled with laughter. Public laughter - we should all do it more!
Woowee, what a poopy adventure! Thanks for the treat! Hah. In all seriousness though, I love reading your blog. Thanks for the laugh and keep it up! (I also liked the joke where you put "Brexit" and "something good" in the same sentence).
I’ve just found out my shit is being returned for the second time. Apparently it has become separated from its invoices. Meanwhile the other one - last seen in Glasgow - is untraceable. I have to file a Missing Shit complaint on Monday. You really couldn’t make it up!
Hi Monica. Thanks for this intimate account of your shit's itinerary. There's a lesson to be learned here. Not quite sure what it is yet, though whatever is being concealed about Brexshit is still to hit the fan with the general public, it seems. Thanks for the laugh.
Your article is hilarious and Brexit has shown the fragility of the UK and its system. Please, keep us posted...I would like to read a happy ending story about your microbiome :)
Thanks for pointing that out. Highly irresponsible of it, I’ll be having words! In its defence though, it is at least biodegradable and fully recyclable.
I was in hysterics reading this! Hope you get your results eventually!! I’m loving the food photos and for however brown it all looks now, it will be very green soon. 😀
In spite of brexit, coronovirus and the rest, you are keeping going with your challenge which is inspirational. I do hope you publish your journal of the year and perhaps a recipe book. Put me on the wish list. Great article.
It really is terrible what is happening. I am in the export business and our working life due to Brexit has been hell since the beginning of the year .... and to put it into figures, here are the official ones from the German statistical office
What a wonderful insight into your, and your poops', journey! So interesting to know yourself so well. Many years ago (1986) I visited long lost family in Serbia - they had a subsistence farming society back then. I was quite ill with the food; meat killed by themselves and roasted for hours on pits; own grown animals, fruit and veg; everything smoked and pickled for winter; wood burning stove a la 19th century. Everything was too rich for me! A hard but wonderful life. They were so healthy. My aunt Dusanka had a sprawling Linden/Lime tree outside her wee cottage, what a smell!
I should have moved to europe a few years back. I knew this Brekshit would be a devastating fiasco and now feel trapped. Just seeing how it's not working behind the scenes is an eye opener. I work in the University and it's going to be a mess. Nothing was put in place; it's been nothing but strap lines 'get brexit done' 'we got brexit done' ''we're meeting our deadlines' absolute propaganda.
I hope your poop gets on its way and analysed soon! Sorry to the long post!
Thanks for your comment. Interesting to hear your memories of Serbia. Your microbiome must have been quite different to theirs but I guess it would have adjusted over time. I think we were all made to be healthy living close to nature but so many people nowadays have removed themselves to quite a distance. I lived outdoors for a few years while building this house and was never healthier!
Absolutely hilarious, I was stood in a queue to get into my local shop while reading it, I got some funny looks as I was giggling to myself!
Stupid Boris and his Brexit hope the shit gets to Germany!!

Great post and well done for posting. There is complete blank in MSM about this shit show. The ferrets are adorable.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. A bit off topic for me but I had to vent!

You’re so welcome. We’re living in strange times and need to keep laughing while we work out what the #}%$*¥ is going on.

Thank you. Several thousand species of bacteria agree with you :)
your poo has a mighty carbon footprint. Who knew?

Glad to make you laugh! Yes the green is on the way, and the flowers - they will be especially appreciated this year!

Thanks. Yes certainly intend to keep going. On day 91 now so too late to turn back!
It really is terrible what is happening. I am in the export business and our working life due to Brexit has been hell since the beginning of the year .... and to put it into figures, here are the official ones from the German statistical office
German 🇩🇪 exports to:
-8.0% total
-6.0% 🇪🇺
+3.1% 🇨🇳
-29.0% 🇬🇧
German 🇩🇪 imports from:
-9.8% total
-5.9% 🇪🇺
+1.1% 🇨🇳
-56.2% 🇬🇧
Those are pretty shocking statistics, Jutta. Thanks for sharing them.
