09:26 - two chocolate-fig kisses while waiting for the laundry to finish in the washer.

08:47 - yes, it's my little green tumbler of coffee again, and a multigrain ham and egg sarnie.

10:15 - coffee with milk, and a sausage roll.




13:24 - another sausage roll before dance prac (more than halfway eaten before I remembered to snap a shot).




15:57 - two chocolate-fig kisses and a vanilla soft nougat (with nuts).






Around 18:00 to 19:00 - dinner at Thai House. We had fish cakes, prawn cutlets, and fried tofu for appetizers; and steamed whole tarakihi and green chicken curry, and rice. (Servings were very small, and the fish was disastrously overcooked. This is the second time we dined there, and there won't be a third for me.)


20:12 - some plain Pringles and a lemon-scented tea.






22:29 - a navel orange. Ugh. This is turning out to be a dry (albeit un-sour batch).




Our caterpillar is now a chrysalis!

10:27 - coffee with milk, and two chocolate-fig kisses.

08:23 - a banana.

Oh yeah - my dad sent me photos of Doggie after her most recent grooming session:

10:18 - a banana with honey. I woke up with an okay tummy, but I googled about what foods to avoid to reduce the chances of another episode of gastritis ... just in case.

Around 08:30-ish - a black coffee, and multigrain toast with leftover luncheon meat. This was after I threw the clothes into the washer.

11:09 - we tried making waffles today (with store-bought pancake mix) but ... weren't very successful. After the second disastrous waffle, I made pancakes instead; C fried up the bacon: yum! Also had a black coffee.

10:25 - a banana with honey, and a black coffee. (We were out of eggs, milk, and bread.)

09:20 - a black coffee and leftover fried rice. Also: leftover matcha cookies and some sour cream and chives crisps.

10:59 - a black coffee, the last sausage roll, and a Mrs. Higgins chocolate fudge brownie.

11:07 - a sausage roll (from Cozy Cake Shop - I bought three), and a black coffee.
