Quite a yummy dat! I had three small Thai chicken cakes with a small but ample mound of Asian slaw dressed with sweet chilli and sesame, an interesting beef and polenta bake that tasted better than it smelled, passionfruit yoghurt, a muesli cookie, and very exciting apple and custard (marred only by the unfortunate piercing of the bag in storage, causing the loss of a portion of the custard).
I went out for breakfast in my weekly maternal catch up ritual, and ordered my new standard of poached eggs on unbuttered muffins with steamed spinach. The latter's a little oversalted, and I'm thinking I may skip it next week, but it was pleasant. I popped in to the supermarket after breakfast, buying the Aldi equivalent of Weetbix and low-fat yoghurt, then wholemeal muffins (on sale!), sensitive toothpaste for my newly sad teeth, and some low-fat muesli from Coles - this is noteworthy only because I didn't even feel tempted by the donuts in the bakery section or the chocolates at the ends of the aisles.
Unfortunately I stayed in the car chatting instead of going home to bed, with the sad resulting bedtime of 1PM, undermining my resolution to get at least seven hours of sleep a day. I'm also not managing to sleep through the afternoon as well as usual, having woken almost every day this week to pee, usually quite large amounts. I suspect (and hope) this will settled down as I become more consistent with water intake and as my body realises it doesn't have to hold on to the fluid for as long.
Because I'd already had breakfast I had dinner when I awoke, choosing the roast lamb with vegetables - it wasn't bad, but I'd have preferred a thicker but less abundant gravy. I've noticed that many of the dishes are sweeter than I'd make myself which, given I've got quit the sweet tooth, is a bit of a call. All in all, though, a good day. - Alex
