I thought you might be as amused as I was to read the following email received from a very dear (and slim – and kind and gorgeous) male friend in Australia (name and number available upon request to the highest bidder – only ladies from the Southside of Brisbane please).

Dearest rabbit,

Lettuce leaves! Hmmm, maybe you would be better off not washing them first,
for you never know your luck there could be a nice fat caterpillar on the inside that could
boost your mineral intake for the day. My birds don’t seem to worry about a grub or two,
in fact they look quite slim on a diet of bread and their occasional caterpillar!

I read your blog on your now current diet, and it was a really good description
how you’re now trying to manage yourself in your new diet phase, phase 13 I believe!!
Ironically enough I’m on a diet too! No, not food, for I can eat bread, chips, crisps,
bacon, biscuits, potatoes, cake, sweets, pasta, chocolate, puddings, pastry, cream,
custard, fatty meat, cheese or anything else I might fancy. No my diet is a SEX diet!

You would not believe how successful  I’ve been! Not a hint of any sex passing
my lips whatsoever! I think its a question of just saying “no” to any temptation that
might be put in front of you! If you could apply that theory to your diet then I’m sure
by the time 3 months is out, you would, or could be the next Twiggy!

Your pal …….

Ummmm… All that talk of bread, chips, crisps, bacon…etc… has made me feel quite hungry. My mouth is watering. No, no, no!!! On the quiet, I’m glad I’m not one of my friend’s “birds” on a diet of bread and caterpillars!
