My Sugru Christmas present!

12/12/2012 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

I have just had ever such a nice little pressie delivered – a Sugru Tshirt and, even more useful, another pack of Sugru!!  What is Sugru? Well, I think I have raved on about it before – but I shall bore you all by doing so again as, once you have tried it, you too will be hooked….

Imagine Blutack – but even easier to squish and mould – which sticks, permanently, to absolutely anything and when left for 24 hours, became totally hard, yet remains flexible – is totally heat and cold resistant – and dishwasher proof!! Well, that is Sugru.

I have only used it so far to mend a Grammy (metal needing to stick to metal), attach a heavy knife rack to the side of a fridge (Velcro fell off at once) and mend the holes in a pair of dearly beloved but very ancient and holey shoes. But others have used it to drop-proof their camera, to mend their leather biker trousers, make heat-proof handles for saucepans, fix the cracked edge of a Macbook, repair broken power cables, mount a webcam to a tripod, make a 14 pin two row connector, seal a leak in a car engine joint, mend their snowboarding gear, or personalise their fencing  epée – for use in Olympics…. And that is only a tiny fraction of the bizarre uses Sugru enthusiasts have found for the stuff!

Drop proof your camera

But not only is it great stuff – but they have great style. Start browsing their website and you will be there for hours just checking through their gallery of ‘amazing fixes’ – not mention watching their video gallery of how and why to use Sugru….. (Yours truly features for about ten seconds somewhere in one of them!!) The story of how Jane came to discover  and make/market Sugru is pretty interesting too.

So short of a Christmas present? A nice little pack of Sugru. Only just over a tenner for  eight multi-coloured mini packs or £6.50 for three mini packs. No matter who you give it to, they’ll bless you for it!!

The trouble about gluten-free oats

Oats are delicious – oats are nutritious – they contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and are an excellent source of fibre – they do not contain the protein gliadin, the gluten fraction that coeliacs need to avoid – they add texture to gluten free baking and are easy to cook with. Few …

Happy, if distanced, Christmas!

After this very strange and, for many people, horribly difficult year I wanted to wish you all a very peaceful, safe, healthy and hopefully happy Christmas. And offer you a little allergic chortle. Those of you who used to receive the FoodsMatter magazine will remember all of Christopher’s wonderful allergy related cartoons – the caption …

Good news for those with peanut allergy

The news may be grim on the virus front but there have been two bits of good news this month for those with peanut allergy. Earlier in the month The Journal of Allergy and Immunology: In Practice reported on on a trial which demonstrated that peanut oral immunotherapy is still effective after one year of …

Is it time to subject Vitamin C to serious scientific scrutiny?

Ever since 1970 when the Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling claimed that gram dose vitamin C supplementation could prevent and alleviate the common cold, the argument has rumbled on – how effective can vitamin C supplementation be for respiratory infections both mild (such as the common cold) or more acute (pneumonia and, maybe, COVID19). The evidence …

Share a meal

Yes, indeed – what a lovely thing to be able to do – and one that we have been deprived of for all too long. But, we don’t have to be. Over lockdown my good friend Sarah Stacey, who lives in a tiny village in Dorset, started cooking meals for a poorly neighbour. Talking to …

The importance of nutrition in children’s food

A few weeks ago I posted about our revamped Child and Teen Friendly Food category in this year’s FreeFrom Food Awards in which we are trying to tease out what children really think about the nutritional content of their food. So I was especially interested in an alert from FAB (Food and Behaviour Research) about …
