The afternoon slipped past as smoothly as the morning, though it was arguably less productive. All I did in the afternoon was to eat lunch and take a trip to Sheffield.
Lunch was slightly disappointing, so I’m not going to review it, except to say that if we ever need to stop for food in Chesterfield again I will ignore Frankie and Benny’s and go to Harvester instead. You get more flavour at Harvester, and free salad. I say “free”, though I concede this may not be totally accurate.
They have a big wheel in Chesterfield at the moment. I’m sure it will be quite interesting to go on it and see the twisted spire close up if you can ignore the fact you are being taken for a trip in the sky in a device where costs and weight have been kept to a minimum. I really should have taken my camera, as it made an interesting sight.
We then carried on to Sheffield and dropped Number Two son off, along with two bags of healthy foodstuffs and the contents of my wallet. He’s been home for the weekend discussing his dissertation with Julia. He discussed the Rugby and the Superbowl with me. It’s probably for the best, as, though my grasp of sport is poor, it’s far better than my grasp of matters academic.
Tonight, being back to sensible eating, we will dine on soup. Julia has already prepared and packed the lunch salads for tomorrow. I foresee a dreary, though virtuous, few days.
There is always room for more virtue. 🙂
I’m gently drawing myself back to sensible eating. 🙂
This suggests that you are quite an academic
In that case I fear I’ve misrepresented the situation. 🙂
🙂
Virtue is its own reward. Hmmm.
The salad was better than I feared, though if I’d stuck it between two slices of bread and butter with a dab of chilli jam it would have been greatly improved.
Always hard to go back to the straight and narrow. I wandered from that path during the holidays and have yet to find my way back. 😉
I’m just getting back to thinking about healthy eating. It does take time once you’ve wandered…
What a pity your lunch was a disappointment. I always look forward to seeing the crooked spire from the train when going to visit my daughter in Sheffield. Hope to be there sometime next week.
Yes, it must be quite a landmark on a trip of that length. 🙂

I guess you have to make your own un-drear. Soup and worthy foods can be good–
Yes, I’ll get used to it again, I’m sure. 🙂
