Lunch: Heinz sandwich spread ( for the penultimate time) on Morrisons wholemeal, sunflower seed & spelt bread, bramble jelly sandwich on same, yogurt, two squeezed oranges, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

I bet you'll be pleased to see the back of the sandwich spread and won't be making that mistake again

Indeed.

I also had a beetroot sandwich to a) get rid of another slice of bread and b) take the taste of sandwich spread away.

I'm rather surprised at how the wholemeal loaf is lasting so well.

Other brown breads would be blue by now, judging by experience.

I’m going to take my life in my hands and sally forth

Going to see if the Indian supermarket up the road has lentils, as I’d like to make more zingy chicken, tomato and lentil soup with the Big Chicken. If anywhere still has them, that’ll be the place

May stock up on rice too if available, but there’s always the chance they only have it in large sacks, which is a bit more than I need and would be awkward to store

Just heard back from yesterday's interview. The end clientco want me on board and so here begins the paperwork for a formal offer. Even better - permie job want rid of me and so will shorten notice period to get me out of the door.

Given I thought the interview was a train wreck that's quite satisfying.

Back again. Quite quiet out there

Not post-apocalypse style though, so still a bit of weaving required to avoid getting too close to other people

The Indian supermarket was out of red lentils so I got green ones. I would assume it doesn’t make much difference after they’ve been pressure cooked for a prolonged period - maybe a slight variation in colour? I gather they also don’t disintegrate so much, but I daresay I can cope with slightly lumpier soup

No rice, not even in sacks; he said everyone’s been after it.

And then over the road to the place that used to be Londis and is now One Stop, I think, where I was able to get a couple of tins of Heinz Beans and a packet of Rich Tea

Green seem to take double the cooking time of red...
