The afternoon was the June net meet organised by Anna in Richmond Park. The last time I was there for a net meet was in 1996(?) and was also the first and last time I met Sylvia in person.

I made a beetroot salad for me and took two 240g portions and made a salmon salad for Frank. I also took some fake chicken slices, rye bread, clementines and bananas. I had fizzy squash and Frank had lager and cakes.

Evening drink: tea

8:45pm  Tomatoes and beans with dumplings + chocolate+ pint of fizzy squash

I served myself a medium portion but there was a couple of dumplings left without the beans. After a moment’s hesitation, having debated throwing the remainder away, I added it to my bowl and told myself I’d eat slowly and would stop if I felt full before finishing. But I ate it while watching penultimate episode of Doctor Who and I forgot all about my pledge.

    Untrue! I saw you again at Redbus, when you ended up on the shortlist for a web job that I was acting as a consultant on. (Thinking about it, I had to fire the agency that actually got that job, for not delivering). It was odd because it was a very formal meeting and I didn’t like to tell anyone that I knew you (as I was very much having to prove my neutrality for unrelated reasons).

    I’m surprised, Sylvia, as listening to James yesterday, it seemed half the people in Demon heard about jobs there via friends! It must have been an amazingly social place to work.

    Paola, reading this through, I’ve realised I didn’t include the 10 cals for the fake chicken slice of yours that I tried. Tsk!

    Quite, Anna. That was the issue. :)
