Tell Me Something............Anything!

Haven't you heard of second breakfast?

First breakfast for me is around 07:00 and consists of a cup of coffee (done in a Mokka pot), followed by a bowl of museli with milk and a few raspberries or a sliced banana.

Second breakfast is around 10:00 and is usually two slices of toast and butter with either marmalade or Marmite. Sometimes it might be peanut butter and Marmite.
Occasionally I might make some scrambled egg on toast.

At weekends we will have an 'English breakfast': two rashers of back bacon, a fried egg, and occasionally 'bubble and squeak'.

But then again I may simply have museli with yogurt.

Now that I don't understand - I wouldn't even put the bin out without breakfast first. Nothing big, just orange juice and some cereal or muesli.

I also do the 'second breakfast' thing when I'm not working - two slices of toast with jam or marmalade and a brew, also about 10am.

Elevenses - bag of plain crisps

Lunch - burger with cheese and fried onions. I don't always have a burger, yesterday it was pizza and Wed thru to Friday it'll be oatcakes with bacon and cheese.

Usually I'd have some chocolate biscuits mid- afternoon and some more - with cups of tea ofc - about five oclock when the office empties out. No time today plus the biccies had run out.

Get home, pint of full-fat milk

Not had me tea yet. I usually eat about nine, nothing heavy. Cheese and crackers, salami, maybe a yogurt and a chocolate mousse for afters. Usually have a bit of chocolate before bed too.

I'd get a routine health check if I were you!

Damn, I've left my handbag at my desk, I need to go back in for it".

"Leave it, you don't want to be anywhere near when he sees all the biscuits are gone. Unless you go to the Spar and get him another Snickers. Seemed to work last time".

"I wouldn't know, I just left it near the kettle and legged it. Sod it, I'll leave my handbag there. I probably won't need my asthma inhaler anyway".

Emergency supplies are being airlifted in this morning so no need to panic.

What gets me is the company supplies free fruit but not free biscuits. Sign of the times I suppose. I sometimes have a satsuma but in general my body rejects healthy food.

I tend not to like what most may regard as 'unhealthy' food.

A friend of mine has a pretty stressful and busy occupation. He doesn't seem to have time to eat proper meals and lives on chocolate bars during the day.

He may manage a burger of some description, but has very little vegetables in his diet. I'm sure he is overweight - but he is aware of his poor eating habits and intends to improve the situation. We shall see.

Mine does too. A little occasionally.
Tbh it's not keen on a lot of stuff now. Fortunately whisky isn't one of them. Potatoes are good too. Chicken is my go to meat.

What is commonly called 'being regular' :)
