The stress is far from over. Since I was told off for being in the hospital (long story) outside of a single visiting hour, I took charge of meals for the three of us (my mum, my brother and myself) as that’s something I am (sort of) qualified to help with and good nutrition is especially important, and easy to fall by the wayside, in times of extreme stress....

It’s a delicious combination, full of complimenting flavours and textures and it makes for a satisfying meal.

It was a lot of fun, even if the weather was a tad disappointing – we were walking around Bristol in strong wind and rain on Saturday, which is a shame as our guests have not been here before and a blue sky would have definitely left a better impression....

Hope your week has been peachy, guys? I’m very happy to say that I have just put the first week of braces behind me and I am beginning to feel better about my decision to get them done! It was such a pain, but not in the ways I was expecting, which is why I felt so low about the whole thing, I think. I was expecting pain, physical pain and while there was a bit of that, I’ve only had to take pain killers on two occasions so it wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected....
