    Morning all.

    Gym

    Shopping

    And it’s funny. When you’ve got someone coming over, how you realise you’ve been living poorly and need to scramble to clean the house.

    “why yes, I am in fact a civilised human. Why do you ask?”

    And starting the weight cut this week. Hello chicken and tuna my old friends :/

    I have managed to get an excessive number of bananas this week, and they are all ripe now. This goes way beyond ‘make a cake’ quantities, I think I’ll need to freeze some for later.

      Frozen bananas work in smoothies. Sliced cake freezes well too. Hummingbird cake is a nice alternative to plain banana bread. If desperate take excess cake to work and leave in kitchen for some friendship points.

        I am already thinking of doing some cake for work. You can use banana for the icing as well - just beat the banana with icing sugar and some lemon, and it gives a banana-flavoured soft icing.

        The other thing I use banana in is porridge, it mixes through and adds flavour and sweetness. I’m not a fan of smoothies though, so limited use there. I might put bananas and custard on the menu for dessert tonight too.

        10 kilos, I suddenly feel like I have barely any bananas at all!

        I got a fruit & veg box from Funky Foods which had a higher than normal amount of bananas in it, plus I ordered some extra bananas because I ate them all really quickly last month. So I have nearly 20 bananas all to myself, which is too many for one person but nowhere near rum quantities, apparently.

        I tried on some pants I had from years ago, they fit again. 👍 But I still have to lose at least another 10 kilos, at least.

        and I think with not being able to eat dairy and some other foods I won’t so easily put the weight back on.

    I am now listening to Ithaca audio book by Claire North. Nice to hear a story at last from the women’s point of view , women’s stories have been neglected, or so the story teller tells us.

    This book reminds me of Elektra and also The Trojan Women by Euripides.

    The Trojan Women is such an amazing play. It was so political, so powerful when it was first staged it nearly caused riots.

    ( seriously, I’m only one hour in, i find it a bit cringy )

    Any ideas where I could get an Elmer board book in the city (like an independent book store). I’ve had a Google but I suspect the places I’m looking for don’t necessarily have a fulsome catalogue listed online.

    I have had an efficient afternoon. Got around to hemming a couple of pairs of pants I’ve been meaning to do for months, and repaired a couple of pairs that had rips in the legs. Plus repaired a tear in one of my sheets.
