Lunch: Soup and a PEAR (that made my week)
Dinner: Tinned mackerel pasta (luckily the mackerel came in tomato sauce so the pasta isn't too dry)
This week has brought home how much my life revolves around food and drink, whether it’s cooking a meal with my housemates, catching up with friends over coffee or at the pub, munching sweets at the cinema or going out clubbing. It has been especially lonely in the house because I’ve tended to avoid my housemates when they’re eating (likewise they’ve avoided me because they don’t want to rub their yummy meals in my face) and when we’ve got a lot of uni work on, mealtimes are normally set aside for socialising. My social life this week has without a doubt been hindered by my destitute lifestyle. But tonight, I’m going to bite the bullet and attempt to go to the pub. My friends will be sat there with their fresh, crisp pint and wholesome pub grub; I’ll be sat there with a glass of tap water. At least we can clang our glasses in celebration of the last dwindling hours of the challenge.
Tune in tomorrow and Sunday for our personal reflections on the challenge. Oh, and to find out what we binge on first thing in the morning.
More shocking stats about the British public’s lack of knowledge and awareness…
Today’s Fun Fact: A MORI poll showed that on average, the British public believes that 23% of the world’s refugees and asylum seekers are walking the streets of the UK. That is eight times the actual figure. The UK only hosts 2.5% of the world’s refugees and asylum seekers.
In fact, the world’s poorest countries host the vast majority of the world’s refugees and asylum seekers. Nearly two thirds of all refugees are hosted in the Middle East and Africa.
