If I’m smart, with my new-found energy I’ll now set about making a proper big meal with vegetables and more substantial proteins with plenty of leftovers to fridge for the coming food crises of tomorrow and the next day and the day after. I might make a biryani. Oh but I should really do my assignments. I really shouldn’t open any more tabs.
