Today has been BAD (no, not in the good sense, in the REALLY BAD sense). Thanks to Ian C, I’ve had an idea to treat this malaise. I’m going to obliterate it from my mind with fried eggies with loads of black pepper, chips with loads of salt, beans and bread and butter to make chip butties with….they do, of course require a copious quantity of red sauce. Comfort food to cure the worst of miseries. I know I know, I am usually a complete food fascist and pour scorn on the fast-fooders BUT at least this will be home-laid eggs and real chips…. Every once in a while, using or eating something deliciously bad can really make a big difference. Today it’s my turn for some of that wonderful self-indulgence. And I intend to savour every last mouthful.

Then, I’m going to watch the TV through the bottom of a glass – yep – a wine glass to be precise. It’ll be filled fairly frequently during the course of this evening with another kind of red stuff in copious quantities.

Hopefully by the time we go to bed and turn out the light on this day, I will feel less angry and more like me.

Oh look – it’s gone beer o’clock already, whatever am I doing sat here!

Last year's photos was one of my most inspired pics I've ever taken - in fact, I got more pleasure out of it than most people do out of chocolate! Two years ago, I was mithering about wheelie bins!
