Bradford and Bridlington

Today I was expecting to be working in Bradford but ended up in Bridlington instead which was wonderful.

And I ate:

muesli

carvery lunch: turkey, green beans, peas, carrots, sweetcorn, cauliflower, roast potatoes

a scone with butter and jam

a packet of Hula Hoops

an apple

a banana

three raisin and lemon pancakes

another apple

Verdict: Could do better - - though pretty good on the fruit and veg again!

At the University

Today I helped with a video assessment for medical students.

And I ate:

muesli

four slices of cinnamon and raisin bread with butter

an apple

a banana

chicken masala (from a jar!) with wholegrain rice and peas, and mango chutney

rhubarb, stewed, no sugar, with evaporated milk

three digestive biscuits

an orange

Verdict: not TOO bad but a bit too much sugar and fat

Another Sunny Day

Sunny today -- I drove to York and back and worked, apart from when my friend came round for a while, which was good:

And I ate:

muesli (sugar-free)

roast chicken with leafy salad and tomatoes and two carrots and some pickled cucumber

three slices of cinnamon and raisin bread with butter

a digestive biscuit

a banana

an orange

pasta with tomato and basil sauce and peas

stewed rhubarb and custard

Verdict: Plenty of fruit and veg, shame about the custard.

Sutton Bank in the Sunshine

Today I went for quite a long walk along the Cleveland Way near Sutton Bank - - about six miles I think.

And I ate:

porridge with frozen raspberries

an apple

a banana

a few brazil nuts

a tuna, mayonnaise and salad sandwich

three (yes three!) small Mr Kipling almond slices (I'd just walked a long way!)

a scone

chicken salad with green leaves, Florida salad, tomatoes, avocado (half)

a slice of bread and butter

strawberries with evaporated milk

an orange

Verdict: Well, pretty good on the fruit and veg, not so good on the sugar - - but then I did walk a long way!

Mixed Bag

I've been working in the office, then at Leeds University, and then spent a pleasant evening eating Chinese takeaway and watching films.

And I ate:

porridge with frozen raspberries

two slices of toast and a banana

a save-the-planet cereal bar

a pear

Chinese takeaway - - chicken fried rice with peas and prawn crackers

Verdict: Started well, ended badly - - yummy though.

Loooong Day in Sheffield

Today I was working in Sheffield and had to get up at half past five - - I didn't get back until about seven.

There was lots of food provided - - and I ate:

porridge with frozen raspberries

a croissant

an apple

a banana

a nectarine

half a bread roll with egg on it, half a bread roll with tuna

a small samosa and another small fried thing

two ginger biscuits

half a scone

another apple

a bowl of Cheerios

four Matzos biscuits with butter and jam

AND I'M STILL HUNGRY! - - but I'm going to bed now. And it has been a VERY long day.

Office Day and Claim Forms

A rather tedious day, work-wise, working in our office and filling in claim forms - - - doing the work can be less hassle than claiming the money sometimes!

And I ate:

porridge with frozen raspberries

some brazil nuts

two slices of toast and butter with a banana

a large chunk of raw white cabbage

two (albeit small) Eccles cakes

two slices of cheese on toast

half a tin of fruit cocktail in fruit juice with evaporated milk

an orange

Verdict: Well, it could have been worse - - at least I think today I've eaten a bit less than recently.
