Releasing the Inner Dragon

'Peaches, what's this you've been ordering from Amazon?' An imperious brow hovers above Leo's half moon specs.

Kon Marie's sage advice: 'Remember for every new book, an existing book must go,' returns to haunt me.  Oh how I rue the day that I shared this little gem with Leo, librarian extraordinaire!

Today's delivery, 'How to Release your Inner Dragon,' has arrived just in the nick of time.  Following last night's impressive back flip manoeuvre with the casserole dish, jettisoning the moussaka into the bin at high speed, I'm all too aware that my Inner Dragon is fiery!

Just as I was serving supper, an unsolicited call to Foxy's mobile erased all trace of her,  usually voracious, appetite.  My lightening response to the words, 'I'm not hungry,' was a pure reflex.  Regardless of the fact that I'm currently Superjuicing with the Juice Master, I had devoted my whole afternoon to preparing a moorish moussaka for Leo and Foxy, the current residents at 'Peaches B&B.'

Mon Dieu, the out fall may well require intervention from the United Nations!  Failing that, vigorous study of 'How to Release your Inner Dragon.'

  I'll save the debate on the perils of mobile phones and family life for another rant.
