On toast with an egg on top.

Thanks for your comments yesterday. Most of all I'll miss Mary's weird and wonderful sense of humour and crazy ideas, and the way she acted as "saviour" to Fi and I on more than one occasion.

After breakfast I had to walk briskly for 30 minutes. In the rain. And it turned into 45 minutes. The purpose was to prove that, if you eat loads of carbs, you can flatten the blood sugar spike by exercising. So the next time you have too much curry and rice, or dessert, you know what to do!

For reasons unknown, I made the Christmas cake this afternoon, using buckwheat flour and lots of nuts... not traditional!

Grateful: for food knowledge, for mad memories of Mary, for learning not to clear my plate!
