DIANE'S CORNER .. Celebrate Shades Day
Shades Day is the Family Holiday Association’s national fundraising and awareness day, when we encourage everyone to wear a pair of shades, whatever the weather!
It is the closest Friday to the UN’s International Day of the Family, and the day we recognize that thousands of struggling UK families never enjoy even the simplest break away from home.
Get your friends, family and colleagues together and encourage everyone to dig out a pair of shades and make a donation. And don’t forget to share your snaps with us on social media using the hashtag #ShadesDay.
It is a fun and simple day to get involved with.

4.Coronavirus Style by Sylvia, CAN DO CorrespondentI Love To Cook - Part 1
My first cookbook was Mary Alden's Cookbook For Children, and I loved it. I learned to scramble eggs, make pancakes, turn pot handles in over the stove, and was disappointed by Eskimo cookies. 
In grade 6, I won Stephen Knowles' annual essay contest and my prize was the Good Housekeeping Cookbook For Kids. My parents did not like the little meatloaves with tomato sauce. So I cooked for me and wooed teenage boys with tuna glop over minute rice. My mother was a professional artist for the military, so we lived on TV dinners and reconstituted boxed dinners, always accompanied by a wedge of iceburg lettuce, under ripe slices of tomato, and a display of Kraft salad dressings. Though on weekends there were WonderBread sandwiches overstuffed with bologna salad and a side of potato chips and gherkins. We always had dessert. But my mother had a few things she could cook very well: fried chicken, fried fish, apple pie, and caramelized meatloaf. Her charred pot roast, German potatoes with burnt-black onions and Velveeta was pretty tasty, as was her cabbage fried in bacon grease, and charred beef briquette Stroganoff; but we hid behind streetlamps as long as we could on charred pork liver night, until we knew we could no longer put off our impending doom.
