Just deserts

A big thank you to Sally Baker, feedback editor at The Times – article here.

Well I never! It is "just deserts", not "just desserts", as I had always assumed, meaning "that which is deserved".

Now to slip that into a festive party conversation or two. Possibly when the desserts come out. Should ensure I have rather more free time on my hands come next December...

Why did I turn out such a pedant? Well you'd have to ask my TV-banning, lentil-baking, library-enforcing, doctor-eschewing, beanbag-sitting, grammar-correcting, homeopathic, 2nd dan black belt, all-round no-nonsense mother. 'Cos me, I got no idea.
