A third very good aspect of having a pie for breakfast is that if it is bought from the bakery, as well as acting as a hand warmer on the way home and giving a different way to practice waiting to eat, is that there are no frozen pies in the freezer for me to be tempted to have a pie for lunch after a pie for breakfast…

A very good aspect of having a pie for breakfast is that if it is bought from the bakery, and it rains on the way home, the amble tends to turn into a walk, turns into a power walk – sneakycize.

The peak of winter is arriving now and it is being loudly announced with blustery winds, rainy showers and colder temperatures. Today even had a hail storm, thankfully not at the time I was outside walking. I did need an umbrella though, so I am claiming a “Win” on today’s collendar page.

I am really enjoying the towel task, it is so good to have an alternative way to warm up instead of using food. I like to write down which colours I choose so that in years to come I am able to look back and compare the patterns I made. Red appears very frequently in all the lists, mainly because those towels are so difficult to wear out and there are so many more of them, so that will not be the colour I pick for my new luxury towels. Perhaps some sort of salmon colour?

An inexpensive fern has been obtained and looks really pretty on the bathroom bench. It is a quiet way to be reminded that Apply is going quite well so far and to continue to eat plenty of apples and at least some amount less of Junkly. I hope the fern survives a few more weeks. If I am able to resist giving it too much water it might and it would make a beautiful, permanent living ornament.

Today my collendar page represents some proportional mathematics: one pie equals an awesome amount of apples. (Or it could equal an awesome amount of pears, or mandarins or tangelos or …)

Each breakfast, like most of my breakfasts all year round do, consists of some oranges. I try to get lovely big ones or when they are not available at least have a few small ones. I want my breakfast to set me up well for whatever the day’s activities are.

On the non-pie breakfast days this month there is a perfect opportunity for me to eat a variety of spreads on toast or cereals, particularly the ones that are approaching the use by date of yesteryear.

I don’t want to turn into a skeleton either. I am quite happy to maintain my current weight for quite a while so it is useful to eat up all these essentially “leftover” foods, which do have a relatively high sugar content in them, now rather than during some other month.
