Nick R Thomas @LadyDuck Me neither. At least that 5-a-day offers a choice but I find it hard to achieve. More like 2 or 3.

Nick R Thomas I know you wrote about how carbs were previously such a major part of your diet. Mine too, so I feel for you. It must take a lot of deliberation to decide what to put on that stingy 2-slice ration.

Nick R Thomas @GardenGerty Unfortunately I'm not a minimalist! I had many possessions stored elsewhere but added to what I had in the hotel over the years. The room became rather cluttered and changing rooms or moving out eventually took hours.
