But I have learned to adapt to bothTwo autumns ago, on the wide avenue where I live in New York City, I abandoned a bicycle, a bulky blue gift from an ex that had never been quite right.

  18-11-2018 12:00
  After years of being fed dismal dinners – frozen lasagne, microwave risotto – the Observer columnist is now really looking forward to ChristmasA personal Christmas best (or worst, if you like) was the frozen vegetarian lasagne, still glacial in the middle, dumped on the plate alongside an edited selection of festive trimmings – sprouts, red cabbage, but no roast potatoes (cooked with the turkey) or gravy (made with the turkey juices).Would this be OK?
