I've got myself into a bit of routine of having horrifically bland bowl of
porridge in the morning. It does actually make me feel a bit better I
think. The bad diets we have don't help us, though i can appreciate how
hard it can be to care sometimes.

Do you make your porridge deliberately bland? I enjoy my porridge, but it's not made the authentic Scottish way, I'm afraid. It's porridge oats with milk (skimmed, the healthy bit) in the microwave, then add several teaspoons of raisins, and a bit more heating.

I find breakfast is the easiest meal of the day: I can do it whilst still more asleep than awake, cereal and milk, big mug of water, and cup of cocoa while it's still chilly. I wish other meals were as easy.

And Sir Benjamin, you actually manage to go to work, so congratulations :-)
