Settles down in the comfy chair by the fire.

I see alcohol has been consumed

Ooh, yes; she’s gone all Zola Budd.

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one! And we talk about food here a LOT

Right, that’s set me off again.
Off to the kitchen cupboard I go 🙄.

She looks soooo cool & sophisticated - not words you'd normally associate with a gerbil.

Sorry, must dash - another social event to attend.

I've been to the kitchen 3 times in the past hour or so.
Trip 1 orange club biscuit
Trip 2 half a toasted bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon
Trip 3 an apple

Every time I only went in for a cup of tea.

Oh, trip 2 sounds good. I’d have gone there twice!

So would I but it was the last of the smoked salmon!

Well quite.
if you’ve eaten half a bagel, the other half will just dry out and be sad if you don’t eat it soon.

if there’s no smoked salmon surely there’s something else you can have on it?

Nothing worse than a lonely half-bagel.

Good point! Can’t you have the other half of the bagel toasted with Marmite?

High on a grill was a lonely bagel
Lay-ee-odl-lay-ee-odl-lay-hee-hoo

Butter. Toasted, buttered bagel is good.

lots of butter and marmite, definitely.

Goats cheese for you?

Someone needs to rescue Maud, she’s gone back to S&B and is currently flaunting a naked head. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen her without a hat before.

I had the first half of the bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon for lunch, so this was me finishing the bagel.

I'm currently deciding if I want a prawn cocktail and cucumber sandwich or a bacon and HP buttie

I’ve just remembered I went through a phase many years ago of loving toasted bagel pasted with lots of tahini. So I’ve just put some tahini in my Tesco basket. (BS bad for snacking). Sadly I am very low on snacks right now and am limited to bowls of nuts.

It doesn't look right does it when she takes her hat off.

I caught her the other day hatless

Bizarrely I have a jar of tahini in the fridge

Oh that’s ok then.
prawn and cucumber is more sunny lunch or teatime rather than supper isn’t it?

Oh I’d go for bacon and HP if you can be bothered to cook it.
