I'm glad it's Friday

I can't decide whether I'm (a) ridiculously knackered after only two days back at work; (b) coming down with something; or (c) going to die of eating porridge made with oats that were best before 24 November 2016* for breakfast.

Whichever it is, I'm glad it's the weekend.

* They weren't very nice, but by the time I realised how old they were I was irrevocably committed** to them.

** ie, had got to work and faced a stark choice between ancient porridge and no breakfast, as I hadn't bothered to go to the Co-op after swimming and buy anything else.

Oats can go a bit musty :o(

Oh dear. :/ Probably shouldn't hurt you, though?

Musty oats does sound sad. But at least now you know to obtain nicer breakfast food in the future. :)

I realise that this is only a helpful comment if she turns out to be right, but FWIW my mother, who is a specialist in these things, would be pretty sure that the oats will not hurt you.

Alternatively I’m projecting - I would have been!

Hope you have a restful weekend! I think being back at work at this time of year is pretty knackering, it's still dark and cold and full of Stuff.
