Ah, the weekend approaches.

I shall have to put my plans for world domination(tm) on hold and give some serious thought to how to make a vegetable soup that is both tasty and nutritious. I think I have the latter cracked, but the former requires work.

You, my sole reader, will probably think this odd, but with the exception of Nice biscuits, I have never found anything with the absorption rate and expansion potential of pearl barley.

Try getting what you thought was soup out of a flask once it has turned into barley gruel. Second attempt was better, but still thicker than slurry. The third attempt was runny but salty and since then I haven't bothered.

The reason for all this is, of course, dietary. Being one suet pudding and two Mars Bars shy of officially being two people I have,gentle reader, decided to try and lose about a quarter of my bodyweight.

This is, I am told by yon Quack, a laudable aim, but I have enjoyed the journey to this size far more I suspect than I shall enjoy the return leg.

Of course, that's another option. I could remove a leg. That would account for about the correct tonnage.

And it's probably easier than making an infallible and tasty vegetable soup.

Like trying to stop smoking fixates me on cigarettes, I only have to close my eyes to see a bacon sarnie.

Never mind. If I do split into two people through binary fission, it will be someone to share the rent with.
