Visited #Culvers for some quality Wisconsin burgers this evening.
I usually try to eat quite healthily so it's incredibly rare I go to any fast food place but fuck it, we're on holiday.
I have to say I'm very satisfied with the crispy chicken burger, crinkle fries, and root beer combo.

I'd love to see Suzanne Vega perform live if there's ever an opportunity, and Greg Laswell. Those two are still on the wishlist.

Maybe a bit of an eclectic mix, but here's a few:
- AURORA
- Death Cab for Cutie
- Duran Duran
- Teddy Thompson (supported by David Ford who is an absolute showman)
- Altered Images (the core demographic in the audience was bald middle-aged white guys 🤔)

Looking frazzled because I forgot to sync my watch with my phone and woke up at midnight thinking it was 5am, and took a shower.
Just fell back 'asleep' in my clothes after that. 😑

A new favourite treat is strawberries, dipped in Greek yogurt, frozen for about half an hour, then dipped in melted dark chocolate and swirled into blitzed pieces of pecan nuts.
Then frozen again.
Then refrigerated.

It's a paracetamol and pistachios kinda start to the day.
It's actually lifting me out of a tired funk quite well.
I love pistachios because they're a natural source of melatonin 😎

Huge kudos to Alice Oseman for creating this truly uplifting graphic novel series.
It can be cheesy as hell but it covers a LOT of bases with regard to good representation.

Found a few Flying Tiger Copenhagen stocking fillers for V. Next to Village Vanguard in Tokyo, this is my favourite UK shop to mooch around.
Sure, it's mostly toot, but neat toot.

So, no. I haven't logged any litter picks yet 😅

It's quite neutral-lookimg, but this is today's vege-xperiment.
Wholegrain rice with natto (soy sauce and mustard mixed in), spinach, vegan mayo, and topped with pickles. Looks a bit crap, but probably tastes great.

Today's aubergine experiment.
Wednesdays are fast becoming my experimental vegetarian lunch days.
Today, I've served up pan-fried aubergine 🍆 with harissa paste, grated pecorino, spinach, and natto on top.

Caffe Nero actually had a second vegan cake option today, which fills me with joy. It was a chocolate and caramelised biscuit cheesecake. Needed a slight change from the granola flapjack and that was just the ticket.

Himbofeed. It makes me chuckle that this one exists, but having said that, I'm not at all surprised.
