Work Place cooked Breakfast! The drama of hash browns....

My new workplace offers breakfast. I was told it wasn't very good but I decided to try it since I doing a a semi-non wheat detox. How's that working? Well, it's the 20/80 rule my way. Let's just say, I've cut out a few treats unless they are irresistible. What is irresistible you ask? Reduced pastries thought I managed to avoid buying any yesterday. Or passing through an artisan bakery on empty stomach, actually just passing by a bakery does it.

So I had mushrooms and beans, I love fried mushrooms and baked beans. Then one hash brown. One hash brown you ask? Well a portion is 80 pence (so in total that is £2.40) and I have asked how can one hash brown, just a single hash brown cost 80 pence - this is over one dollar. why not two hash browns?

So is pretty much my breakfast until I get something sorted out in the morning. Also the weather has been wet, grey and cold, so I wanted to eat something warm, comforting and sweet.

Are there cheaper options? Yes, there is porridge - oatmeal - but I don't like the look of the consistency or texture. I'm fussy about some consistencies and food textures unless I make them myself. It's just an appearance thing. I'm sure it's really delicious but I tend to only eat porridge I make.

Maybe I could try it...it probably tastes really nice. My grandfather used to make porridge with butter and full fat milk ....I know. I like mine with brown sugar.

Daily Writing Journal: Mo Money Challenge - week 8 which means £8 in the tin!

£8 in coins So I'm on my second week on saving and still not sure. I'm not feeling the pinch per se, but it's hard thinking how am I going to maintain this. So I managed to get a few coins out and gather some change, but at some point I'll really need to organise this. I've put in four fifty pence pieces with come up to two pounds sterling and the rest in pound coins. Remember the money tin from last week. Well it all went inside that.... How am I feeling? Slightly bored but I still have a long way to go..... Saving money is boring, spending is more interesting.

My London Hood - The Tate Modern

Modern Gallery make you think of the world as it is today. I just wandered around the exhibitions in the Tate modern and seemed focused on oppression of humanity - focusing on the poverty, wars, sexuality, violence, conflict, the underdog and gritty. This was a picture that captured my imagination because it looked so modern. This is a painting by German artist Christian Schad called Agosta, the Pigeon-Chested Man, and Rasha, the Black Dove 1929 is a large portrait-orientated oil painting of two funfair performers. https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/schad-agosta-the-pigeon-chested-man-and-rasha-the-black-dove-l02264 So in typically America-speak when I saw my people, I had to stop and take a picture, therefore homegirl, Rasha, the black dove is headlining my blog. In those days, I guess the only work she could get was as side-freak show but she is very beautiful, modernly so. It also made me think of what happened to all the black people or people of colour during Nazi Germ

Review of January 2018 - lost weight, socialised with others, completed my beta-read, doing my courses.

Hello everyone, Just checking in about my goals and life in general. It's all good. What went well. I took in packed lunches for at least four days a week. This was just hummus, sprouts, grated carrot sandwich. So very vegan. I also cooked dinner a few times a night rather than eating junk food or takeaway. So a lot healthier. I finally have a social life of sorts. In my last job - it was work, home and see family on weekends. I was so drained and tired so this new job has made such a difference, that I can go out and meet people. So I go out with some drinking mates once a week. It's a nice evening out of the house and away from social media or the internet. It's mostly small talk but its nice. I'm doing my photoshop course. That is coming along nicely, that picture is from one of my practice sessions. I'm doing a couple of writing courses which are intense. What hasn't gone well. I need to focus on having more routines, and breaking tasks
