Food and stuff, Saturday May 23

Breakfast: Back to corn flakes and bananas and two cups of coffee.
Didn't get up until about midday so that counts for lunch as well.
Dinner: Grilled a couple of chicken pieces (random cheapo cuts) and had them in pitta breads with lettuce and chopped pepper salad. Just a dollop of mayo.
I thought that would probably be enough to fill me up but I did get hungry later, probably 'cos we'd been out running earlier. So when I got home I snaffled another pitta bread with cold chicken slices, so not bad really for a post-pub snack.
I also have to say that I spent a whole evening in the pub with a very good couple of mates and I drank soda with lime all night, despite the very fine array of ales and ciders available.
We were at the Cornubia which is one of Bristol's finest boozers, and the setting for many very drunken nights in the past, the kind where I used to fall over for what I thought was no reason, because I didn't consider the ten pints I'd drunk to be relevant. And they have started gaming nights by projecting Mario Karts onto the wall outside the pub in the car park, which I thought was great. I love that pub because it is a good couple of hundred years old maybe, but it is stuck among a load of dreary modern breeze block buildings, which come right up to it like bullies gathering round a kid in the playground. Long may it survive.

Exercise: We ran for about 45 minutes. I found it really quite hard work because of the heat and was probably still tired from my bike ride the day before. Legs were much like lead. Glad we made it out though.
