God today’s lunch was rankety-rank-rank as Carrie would no doubt say. It’s 4.30 and I’m still eating it. I think it’s the chickpeas. They’re so raw it’s like crunching boiled sweets. I mean I know they should be technically cooked – they came from the usual salad bar but all the same I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if I turned up my toes and became one of those idiot statistic people – the people who eat raw beans and poison themselves.

Chickpeas, Kidney Beans, Sweet Corn, Grated Carrot, Bean Sprouts & Corriander. But it will not defeat me. I paid £1.30 for it and it will be eaten, esp as the alternative is a doughnut / viennese finger / blueberry muffin.

Some of the chickpeas are a sort of greyish green in colour. That can’t be normal can it?
