I have sinned!

Diet gone slightly awry today. No excuse except I had this mad urge to cook. Made 2ft high bread and a lemon cake with sugar and extra icing sugar/lemon juice on top.

Ate a large slice of each plus some chocolate with nuts this evening. 

Chocolate indulgence was a psychological attempt to reduce the pain of watching/listening to Harrison Birtwhistle's new opera 'The Minotaur' on BBC 2. 

The blood, guts and screeching on screen was enough to drive anyone to drink - but I settled for chocolate. Oh, and 2 large glasses of Banrock Station sparkly rosé (too sweet.)

Have slight indigestion so will bid you adieu and pop downstairs for a couple of Rennie's before hopping into bed with Jeremy Paxman and his 'Political Animal.'  Ooh . . . . . .
