About a month ago, I assumed that I suffered from food poisoning. I failed to understand its rather late timing. About week later, I ate my favourite cashew nuts - again. The next day, my bowel and stomach symptoms reappeared. Last weekend, I enjoyed an Indian lamb curry. The menu claimed it contained cashew nuts but I didn’t notice them (eg, crushed nuts).

Ageing
25 Mar, 2025
Ageing was never an issue for me. I’m still wondering why that is changing. My mother turned 90 last year. My father died in 1994 at 61. Last week, I turned 65.

In (legal) contracts and/or Service Level Agreements (SLA’s), an opt-out condition might well be its most overlooked feature.
