We all enjoyed seeing Eddie the Eagle jump again last week, actually Michael Edwards was a much better athlete than we all realized, as well as being a very determined person. Here's a Guardian article about his career:

And he's still around. On British TV there's a Programme where celebrities learn to dive - Eddie was a contestant last year and won. Take a look at his dive with Tom Daley, British Olympic medal winner, here:

Talking of TV, lots of us are talking about cookery books and favourite recipes this week, inspired by the magical Mary Berry of Bake off fame.
Watch the Mary Berry Story (lots of episodes):

And, as we're into cooking, let me share somethingwith you. When we moved to Bremen in 1977, things were a bit lonely. This changed when I met Diane in 1978. With her, I experienced my first real American Food and it was so delicious, I culdn not believe it. Diane gve me my first American cookbook, The Joy of Cooking, and it is still a wonderful source for everything yummy.
My own copy, (With "Yum, I eat it! Keep on cookin' y'all" inscribed by Diane inside) is falling apart now, but fortunately there is a 'Joy' Website. I'm directing you straight to the 'history' page:
