It’s a very short blog because I’m off to work today. It can be a challenge because I mostly tend to work over mealtimes. Today is no exception. I’ve followed the book and had a large breakfast, and I think that will do for lunch as well.

I work in a cinema and I get free movies. Might take myself to see Nim’s Island after work today and then do my grocery shopping for the week. I’ll take a snack into that. Probably get a hot chocolate from the candy bar, since I have to get something from the candy bar for my “free” movie and hot chocolate is probably the least worst thing. Wish they sold “real” food at the cinema. Was very proud of myself last week. Beloved and I went to see Gone Baby Gone and we got a bucket of popcorn to share and a drink each. He got Sprite and I had a bottle of water. At the end of the movie there was still half of that bucket of popcorn left. Yeah. I didn’t shovel it all down. In fact, I think Beloved ate more of it than I had.

I read this blog about emotional eating yesterday. Pretty sure someone’s been reading my mind. Trying not to eat emotionally though. I have a drink of water or a cup of tea. Tea is good for me, I have it very weak and black with no sugar, or else I make a chai latte.

I got some fish for my ponds yesterday. I put 3 rainbow fish in the big pond and 5 little whiteclouds in the little pond. They seem to have vanished. I hope this is just due to their superpowers of camoflage. I spent part of yesterday sitting by the pond and reading the latest Challis and Destry adventure. I’m not a huge fan of the crime novel, but I like Gary Disher’s stuff because it’s set not far from here and I can really relate to it and to the characters in it (I’m sure I serve some of them at work).

I’ll leave you now with some fish pictures. Here is a rainbow fish like the ones in my pond:

and this is a white cloud like the ones in my pond:

Oh, and pretty sure it’s Morgan Freeman in the seal suit on Nim’s Island. That guy is everywhere! He’s versatile and a great actor.
