Hunter-Gatherer

Still freezing. We rescued the cats from the cattery and went to the supermarket, where there is no milk or bread to be had and not a lot of fresh meat - anyone would think there was a war on. Many ill-tempered people stomping about demanding to know why the shelves are empty - presumably they lack the wit to look outside at the ice on the uncleared roads, or the imagination to realise that food does not miraculously grow overnight on the shelves. (Though the inability of the various Councils to clear the roads does raise both questions and hackles.)

To food. Not a bad day - slightly better balanced, insofar as I had toast for breakfast (after cat collection, so a failure on the timetabling front) and then soup and a sandwich for lunch so was not starving all afternoon. Dinner was a 'Box Indian' which had rather a lot of calories (1300 and change) but it was scrummy! And I let the Boy Wonder have the Naan bread, so that was a plus on two fronts - I didn't eat it, and he did. Naan is now among the 'delicious foods'...

So all in all, about 2300 calories today. Could have been worse. I notice that there is, however, complete failure on the exercise front so far - but I'm not going out until the snow melts.

  1. Maybe you should go an clear snow for elderly neighbours or something. That would count as exercise.

  2. Sadly all our neighbours are younger than us and have already cleared their paths. I suppose I could do ours - but that implies going outside...

  4. Go on, you can do it! You could clear your back path too...
