40 days and 40 nights Adventure: Day 8

Dear George,

   Weather is nice this evening,  a mild 10*C outside.  Train was 2 mins late this afternoon.  Stamps are 46p.

   I'm not feeling too great right now.  A cold, or something is coming on.  I really don't want to blame a meat free diet for this feeling of unwell but i think there is some weight for that argument.  I think it's just that i'm not eating enough, not enough calories.  I'm still running a lot ( 4 mile jog every other day) and what with cramming in my university work i',m just not finding time to eat plenty...also i could be felling a wee bit down because i've cut sugar and sweets from my diet... moan moan moan... i think i need a holiday... or to do a hopping race.  In fact i think i'll do both!

Take care buddy
Yours
Little Dave

40 days and 40 nights Adventure: Day 7

Dear George,

The weather has been very mild of late, spring is defiantly on its way. The temperature right now is 10*C.  My train this morning ran right on time and a first class stamp is 46p.

Right then... Lent is going well for me so far.  It has been 7 days without meat. do i miss it? yes! like i've said before, i'm finding myself feeling hungry all the time.  I will say though that what i'm eating is so very yummy. I had a lovely quiche the other day and it has been keeping me going since the weekend.  Also i tried Quorn for the first time on Sunday, with spaghetti bolognese and i really enjoyed it. i thought i'd hate it but i was rather tasty.  So the question is, should i carry it on? i only planned to do it for a week. Maybe i'll carry on until the weekend...do 10 days.  After all i will be sticking to the rest of my lent promises.

Recorded 2 podcasts today with Zoe.  A random topic episode and an episode where we pull questions about high school from the notorious chinaman's hat... i'm still having problems completing the Art episode so please bare with me.

Off to bed now mate, i hope life is treating you well. i know i alway say i miss you but sometimes it really makes me sad that you're not at the end of the phone....

take care buddy,
yours,
Little Dave

40 days and 40 nights Adventure: Day 5

Dear George,

Day 5 without meat.  Today is a Sunday, a day when i'd normally have bacon sandwiches for breakfast and spend a long afternoon creating a wonderful roast dinner..but not this time. It was muesli for breakfast and right now i'm looking across the Internet to find a veggie dish that can compete with my usual Sunday lunch.

It's strange i've really noticed how much i miss eating animals... i guess it's because i'm thinking about it all the time.  i'm so used to popping out for a sandwich i've never had to give eating 2 thoughts.  the one thing i'm having issue with is what do i have with  my veg. It has always been a part of the meal not the whole thing...you know what i mean? the other day i roasted up some veg, mushed some potatoes and still my plate looked wrong, 'where's the main bit' i asked myself.  i know this isn't great blogging but this man needs meat... urgh... i think i'm going to make a quiche.

Take care buddy,
Yours,
Little Dave
