    Morning!! Horrible day traffic-wise here as we are being afflicted with the Tube strike. Hopefully something large and heavy will come along and "strike" Bob Crow before too long. A Tube train would be both large, and heavy enough! :D

    I have an egg-mayo roll for lunch! :T

    Tea will be risotto - chicken, mushroom and sweetcorn I think. Cooked in two halves as OH is at a seminar this afternoon and won't be home until late. I'll get my Avon stuff done then do mine, his can be finished when he gets in. Got a rather tasty looking tomato & cheese tear and share bread to have with it too. Hurrah for Mr T's reductions!

    Hope everyone's having a good day?!
