Day two

Day two started off ok, but I couldn't face my porridge at breakfast, so I had some left over flatbread spread with lemon curd. At lunch I had a fried (naughty) egg and flatbread. I was going to have a poached egg again, but then I realised I'm not on a diet so I don't need to watch my calorie intake and I did spend £1.39 on oil. The fried egg was gorgeous and I was very happy. For reasons unrelated to this challenge I am without a car this week. So I am travelling by foot, the furthest I go to is school, which is about 0.5mile. Not very far, but in today's western lifestyle walking is something that is very rarely done. In a day I do this trip, there and back, three times. And it did take its toll on me a bit yesterday. I listened to myself moan about it, but then when I thought about it, I realised what a petty moan it is. I am walking a short distance so my children can access a free education. When I get home I have hot and cold running water, I am not walking to a well to get clean water. I am only buying food on £1 a day, I don't have to worry about keeping warm, I switch my slow cooker on in the morning and my tea is ready for me. The electricity that powers my slow cooker is uninterrupted and direct to my kitchen. Having said that, I was definitely ready for my tea and had two bowls of chilli. I hope I have enough for the rest of the week now!
