Day 1... I'm stuffed!

I woke up this morning with the decision to be thankful.  If I choose to walk a mile in someone else's shoes then I reckon I should have a bash at doing it cheerfully. 

So... porridge made with water for breakfast (no sugar), vegetable and split pea soup and a home made chapati for lunch and a feast fit for a king for dinner - chick pea burgers, grated carrot and pasta.  The burgers looked great but were pretty dry and horrid but hey, I'm full! 

As you can see Mick was well up for trying a tasty morsel of my daily rations... he also enjoyed eating the one of the bananas I had to put back in the fruit bowl on Saturday as I was over budget.  Such a supportive man.

After a false start to the term with Sidmouth Gospel Choir  we had a good rehearsal this evening ready for our concert in Ivybridge on Friday 20th.  Our soloists were on top form - it's going to be a great concert!

Today's other lovely news is that Joe is home after seven months working in The Alps.  Celebrating with a glass of tap water in The Swan wasn't our usual kind of welcome but a hug with Joe puts everything into perspective... and Ju even let me have a couple of ice cubes (no lemon of course!).
