Don't be silly. You don't bang the items. You have a hammer or something. I used a ladle.

This lunchtime I mostly spent washing up after the feeding of the 100 refugees from the local centre. Now watching the latest episode of "Unforgotten".

Acted as auctioneer at a charity auction yesterday evening. Hard work, but good fun.

This weekend I will be staying in, avoiding going to the pub or drinking alcohol.

It's one week in, I've been working out, on the running machine, been on a diet and I've had one beer and one glass of wine. My lowest intake of alcohol since I was 5.

I've put 3lbs on.

Bollocks. Had a bottle of wine and it's only 7pm.

Though he is sending me a free (fresh) replacement next week. It just means I have to slow cook some pork belly on Sunday instead of the planned roast chuck.
