Peaches and (ice) cream

It has been a busy start to the week, and meal planning has not been on the agenda. It almost never is...

In a particularly bad example of lunch, some dry rice cakes and a tin of peaches that I produced drew disappointed looks from colleagues. My boss Jo took that moment to suggest an ice cream run at 2.30pm, which not only added extra nutrients to my day (delicious and creamy strawberries and cream), but was a totally legitimate way of escaping the office to enjoy the heat. And Jo shouted me mine. Win win win.

In the evening I completed a few hours of life admin and felt less stressed as a result. I also ironed enough shirts for the rest of the week and wondered when the hell I became a convert to the value of ironing.
