Day 21 - The death of the hunter gatherer

Our clever clogs friend Colin Cadden came up with a solution for the lack of fingers which has made me redundant. Mary has moved to countdown mode this morning when she woke and presented me with 8 fingers to represent 8 days left.

Being the weekend we had a break from the porridge.

Bacon, beans & toast - 29p

After breakfast Mary made some more pancakes to do us for treats over the weekend.

I was working today while Mary took Bailey for a haircut. Lunch was the tomato, lentil and spaghetti soup (made with the cheaper chicken stock cubes from a few weeks back).

Tomato, lentil and spaghetti soup - 11p

... and a wee afternoon treat.

Pancakes + cuppa - 4p

Some domestic chores in the afternoon then a walk at Newhails with Bails. The walk did involve a discussion about what we felt we had taken from doing this so far and how we are going to rethink our eating and drinking habits. It certainly makes you realise how fortunate most of us are to eat when we like to but has left us wondering how much we really enjoy our food as it's no longer something that involves the effort it used to for our forefathers. Hunting and gathering is a thing of the past but for a lot of people these days the gathering bit has gone and its now online and then a person turns up and chucks it in the fridge for them.

Dinner was the last of the bolognese I made a few weeks ago. We have loads of pepper left so I went a wee bit mad on mine.

Penne bolognese - 51p

I had thought I might be hankering after a wee cheeky beer after a long week but to be honest the though of a cuppa with a pancake seems just as rewarding.

Pancake + cuppa - 4p

Total for the day 99p each.
