Ration Challenge Day Two

It was a grey day today. The shortest of the year. Breakfast was left over rice and beans from last night. Warm and nutritious. David made some very flat bread. I had a bite; it was warm and crispy. I thought perhaps I was addicted to coffee or even toast, but I think I am addicted to choice. Although I believe some people are saying that the huge array of choice on supermarket shelves is doing our heads in.
Maybe the lack of choice this week gives me more time and head space. Just cook the rice and beans or lentils and decide which day we'll add some sardines. (And maybe it will help me experience  a little of how refugees feel.)
It will surely save money and maybe time as well. So that has to be a positive.
A routine visit to the doc affirmed the possibility that it may even be good for  my health. The lack of sugar must have some effect. Or is that the reason I feel dull should I just blame  the grey drippy weather?
I had wondered about no coffee. Would there be withdrawal symptoms? Evidently some get severe headaches. I would usually drink 3 or 4 cups a day but so far so good. I'll keep you posted.
I'll spare you the details about my innards.Suffice it to say I shouldn't have worried.


Sumptuous meal tonight - rice and chickpeas with a sardine. A  little homegrown pumpkin from our extra veg allowance. Yummo!

Five days to go.
