Went to see ma yesterday Sunday, I was hungry, go suck ma tit. Ma's telling me I should be eating only vegetable like her. She said she never ate meat, not since she was young and used to wrap her meat in paper and hide it where ants would eat it, I should manage the small chicken she has. Took a while to remind ma she used to go stock up on cow leg and fuku and saki and edo and chicken legs and salmon heads at Dalston Market, that's what she calls it though it's actually Ridley Road Market. Ma would buy so much meat her freezer would be full she'd have nowhere to put it have to give us children.

I'm sending this to ma. It rightly crossed all we said! Let her know I too will eat only vegetables when I'm 80 like her.
