Wake at 3:00 am feeling hungry so get up and eat some muesli and then sleep until 8:45am. Make honey on rye toast and Italian coffee for breakfast then wash, dress and drive to Cherry for ten. Take the dogs on the Westwood, the weather is cloudy but mild, Dolly goes Rabbit Crazy, but eventually comes back and leaves me with just half an hour to drive back to Tickton before making my way to the Dentists for my check up. Everything is OK and after my check up I meet Sarah for a celebratory lunch at the Thai restaurant down Lairgate. Now that she has passed her degree, she looks ten years younger, the food, as ever is excellent. Sarah orders chicken satay to start and then a Massaman, coconut curry, whilst I order Pak Tod, Thai tempura vegetables and then Pad Kra Pow, prawns with Thai basil and chile with boiled rice. After lunch I buy a wooden rotary spice jar holder in a charity shop and then drive back to , where I transfer my spice jars to the new holder. The post lady has been and delivered my anti snoring/apnea mouth piece. I follow the instructions and after softening it in boiling water, shape it to my mouth, before fixing the shape with ice cold water. I try it out whilst meditating and find it not entirely comfortable, however once I lie on my side it feels fine. Truth will tell tonight when it is used in anger for the first time. Later I mix up and bake a batch of oaties and then make some hummus with chick peas that I have soaked overnight and a jar of tahine. I have followed the instructions from a Turkijh cookbook I own, and find I have made about a pound of hummus, and have to store 3/4 in a Tupperware jars. I drive into Beverley and buy some pitta bread and Sicilian wine as well as butter, coffee and oats. When I get home I toast the pitta and eat these with my hummus, washed down with red wine.
Later listen to radio 4 before turning in around eleven.
