Morning All!
It's Wednesday
Yesterday: Morning made it out to town and ASDA :-) Afternoon and evening not so great.
2am before I slept, woken at 6:30am by noise outside.
Today: L off for a few days break before next week's madness. We're all going out to Breakfast. 2 books due. Payday including annual PHI Increase and the ammount of PHI Increase missing last month which means letter to the DWP.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT, tummy and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight, getting off to sleep promptly. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Eat a whole packet of hobnobs in one go, try that instead. Actually, the in one go approach works well with Cadbury fingers. Oh gosh yes. Yeah Hobnobs are clearly superior to Rich Tea, but I think any kind of biscuity treat is good en masse when one is feeling pig-like. |

It does make me wonder now I think about it, if there's a connection between the biscuit name and the term 'hobnobbing'. Is a Hobnob what you eat when you're hobnobbing?

Well quite. This has made me Google Rich Tea. Why rich? Rich Teas were originally called simply Tea Biscuits and were developed to act as a palate-cleansing snack between courses of an evening meal. The precise date of origin is unknown, but in 1891 the size of the original Rich Tea Biscuit was reduced in diameter by McVitie’s in order to accommodate the smaller, more delicate tastes of Londoners. The biscuit has remained largely unchanged ever since. Whilst we’ve yet to come across a poor tea biscuit, the “Rich” in the title is said to refer to the sugar content of the biscuit, as this would have made it a luxury item back in the nineteenth century.Says nibblemybiscuit.com/biscuits/rich-tea-biscuits/I think we've been here before have we not? I remember a similar conversation about Kit-Kats |

Morning All!
It's Thursday
Yesterday: Made it out for breakfast but dipped significantly both physically, legs and tummy, and mentally after that.
Today: Not sure. Couple of time critical jobs need doing. Taskmaster tonight.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT, tummy and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight, getting off to sleep promptly. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Yesterday, Mrs P gave me a Digestive with three chocolate buttons on it, trying to claim it was a Chocolate Digestive. This is the world I live in.

Back from a London work trip. In pub with colleagues until after midnight. Home now and shattered.
The best way to enjoy biscuits is to put them back in the cupboard and eat Jaffa Cakes instead.

Drunken pub ramblings from Wales!
Jaffa Cakes are very nice, but occasionally you just want something with a crunch. Man cannot live on Jaffa Cakes alone. Now and again you need to slip in a Penguin.
