Good to receive this, an unexpected treat, hadn’t realised how much I was missing the daily update! The interpretational heavy lifting was sadly absent, unraveling the details of the Commander’s journey over my first tea break of the day was always highly satisfying!

‘none of you were greeted at the dinner table yesterday evening by the helpful advice from your partner that the morphine’s just next to the champagne bucket’

It’s when the champagne is just next to the morphine bucket that you really need to worry!!

I have refrained from saying this throughout the blog, but I finally feel I have to observe: porridge is about the most awful tasting food I can imagine! I hope you are one of those odd people you actually enjoy it.

I have to say that shows a remarkable paucity of imagination. I was not a fan of porridge before this shit show, but it has the interesting attribute of being more immune to taste bud changes than other foods and also not requiring chewing. So I am still not a fan, but if I had to live exclusively on one particular food for the next year then porridge in it's current meaning is probably the leading candidate, provided I'm allowed jam. It's hard to express how unpleasant/inedible I currently find fennel pretzels, asparagus, rocket, stilton, chablis, tomato focaccia and more or less any item I would have previously chosen for a gourmet picnic. So porridge definitely has it's place.
