Today I did not too bad foodwise! There is a lovely lady called Mary who works for lots of exhibition organisers at the NEC making them breakfast and sandwiches and tea and she rocks. When I'm lucky, I am onsite for an organiser who hires Mary and this week I am - YAY! She takes care of me and reminds me to eat, which unbelievably I do sometimes when I'm onsite.
Today was my first day onsite in a year where I could eat something other than peanut butter & jam.
Now don't get me wrong, I love PB&J but when you eat it every day for a week, it starts to look less appealing. Mary is a long time veggie - I just found this out today and I've know her for years! And she had hummus in her kitchen, roasted red pepper hummus to be precise so that is what I had on my sandwich for lunch. There was also a big fruit bowl which is awesome, because I sometimes feel like I'm living on shite crisps and chocolate when I'm onsite!
But to be honest, that's about all I can think of to say so I'm cheating for tonight's post. I also don't think there will be a post tomorrow because I will probably be working till after 10 and by the time I get back to the hotel I will ache everywhere that it is possible to ache!
