	When he does deign to eat at home, Fred rolls into the kitchen when the meal is being dished up to remind us that he would like a small meal. He has probably read somewhere that the elderly have small appetites. Yesterday he had a special breakfast at the café. This was so small as to be hardly visible (I don't think!) One egg, one sausage, two hash browns, one large rasher, a slice of toast and three grilled tomatoes( yes three tomatoes, six halves, now that with the toast would constitute a breakfast to me!) a cup of baked beans, a big pile of mushrooms and a mug of tea. He devoured the lot! Poor old chap, barely eats enough to stay alive!

	He didn't leave the sausage. Perish the thought.

	You tuck in Fred - it's terrible that you need to go to the cafe to satisfy your appetite :-D :-D :-D

I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

	Is it because we give him small meals?

	On a serious note, one thing I am sure of Sharron is that - there is no way he is not well fed at home <3

	He would be better fed if he didn't demand small portions!

	And matching head! If I served him up a meal the size of that breakfast he would do the smacked bottom face whilst hovering his fork over it until I removed some. Maybe he has tried that one in the café and they have ignored him.

	The size of their meals I don't think I could carry the plates.

	I'm feeding him myself all day today. Better get stuck in to the preparations. Plenty to do!
