Dedicated to all readers who have signed up for some sort of eating or drinking purgatory this month.
New Year brought a new diet. 2018's fad – Dorothy's Dynamite Diet – required her to eat only whatever brassica took her fancy.

Washed down with a litre of cabbage water.

By January 19th she'd lost over two stones; by the 26th she was in Accident & Emergency. But she emerged in time to look at herself in the mirror five days later and say, "job done".
Eleanor's Eating Examination awaited in 2019.
