Sleep deprived but well-fed as always
Was up most of the night thanks to jetlag and then proceeded to oversleep which nearly resulted in a gigantic disaster re the first day. I made it just in time though and managed to look reasonably spazzy in one of my new shirts.
Am adjusting very well to the climate; while my brain registers that it is indeed quite cold and I can see my skin getting really dry unless moisturised multiple times a day, my overall system seems to love it. I wear several layers to bed but wear normal clothes in office. I do wear a jacket when walking between destinations although that is merely insurance. I love how the cold makes it that much more fun to walk faster without breaking a sweat.
Today's dinner was a special ensemble put together by the chef extraordinaire yours truly. Hit the supermarket again for several tins of goodies (the ones you don't need a can opener for) - namely, pink salmon, champignons and coconut cream. Also bought a squeeze tube of garlic and roasted onion tomato paste and a box of fresh strawberries.
First I layered the leftovers from yesterday's bag of pre-cut salad, threw on some champignons and salmon and squirted the tomato paste on top. The tomato paste in particular is stunning and can be eaten by itself. I probably will end up doing that because it won't keep more than a week.
For dessert, a glass of strawberries smothered in coconut cream followed by a mug of hot tea and leftover mixed nuts while I listened to the last chapter of Nietzsche's Good and Evil on my ipod.
Bliss.
Edit: Apologies for the poor quality of photographs but I took them from the phone because I couldn't be arsed to mess with the camera.
