I went shopping in town with my grown up son and daughter and they wanted to go for lunch. I went with them and had a cup of tea and a lime and soda. The Jack Daniels sauce smelt amazing but I found it reassuringly easy not to accept the offer of some chicken strips or chips.
More wandering around town and I felt quite thirsty but never once felt hungry. It is a beautiful day and I think that helps, I don't feel the need to hole up in a cave and eat comfort food!
