| The biggest afternoon tea Rachel and I have ever seen |
Last weekend, I marked my birthday with a level of food consumption that would have made
Mr Creosote proud.
In my excitement, I fear I may have gotten a bit carried away. With the constraint of my current
increased state of disability, my usual "going out and doing something active for the day" was put on hold, making way for a number of magnificent food-centric activities instead.
On Saturday, Rachel's parents took us - including Alice - for a meal at my favourite, nearby pub-restaurant, where I managed to consume a three-course Christmas meal. In the evening, watching Strictly in a borderline food coma, I could only manage a bowl of ice cream (
I needed something to take some of my pills with).
Then on Sunday Rachel, Alice and I went to the wonderful
Pup Cup (
the dog café in Tonbridge High Street), where Rachel had prebooked us afternoon tea for two.
It turned out to be the biggest (
and most delicious) afternoon tea either of us had ever seen (
see picture above), and we ended up having to take a few top tier cakes away in a "doggie bag" for later.
The evening was rounded off with a
KFC, although I suspect that might have been a "
wafer thin mint" too far 😂
My weekend of excess ended up with me not feeling particularly chipper in the middle of Sunday night and fearing I might explode. However, I got back to sleep and felt a lot better by Monday morning.
This week I've been halving my daily portions of breakfast toast, snacks etc
