Think the lack of nutrients and food has finally started to kick in as im feeling grumpy, tired and hungry today. So be prepared for a bean bitching session.

Woke up mega hungry this morn and trundlled downstairs for the first bowl of beans of the day. My primary task, which is repeatedly becoming an abrasive one at meal times, is to open the can with my begruding can opener, which was abandoned for the knife in a sudden moment of bean agression.

Was so hungry, they actually started to smell pretty good while i was heating them up, but alas, this was pretty much realised as a cruel game played by the beans. Had half a can for breakfast, but were real overcooked and mushy, ( my attentions had turned to an over sensitive smoke alarm), to the extent i actually started to gag and had to abandon them for a glass of water! Sounds dramatic but its true... (beans are stodgy evil things when they're over cooked i have found, and should be avoided at all costs). The rest are in my bag which ive been having spoonfuls of throughout the day to keep my energy topped up, just about.

I've also been trying to write a 1500 word essay in the library. My grumbling stomach has been providing a soundtrack to this all day. For the past 2 hours, iv been thinking intemittently about the dream snack i would like before my walk home and i have concluded with a simple cheese sandwhich. My food day dreams are getting ridiculous, and have taken over all other day dream topics this week. And due to lack of brain power, not particularly imaginitive food day dreams either!

Ive also been walking to and from uni this week in skint student mode, which is a couple of miles each way, and this new diet has definetly been making me feel knackered by the time i get in. Goin to have the rest of the beans i didnt finish for lunch tonight with brown rice and some green beans, and im so hungry, ill actually be anticipating that bad boy during my long walk back in the rain! I couldnt imagine doing a hard days work, and coming home to find no food at all...in comparison my beans would probably be a god send to many people in poorer parts of the world. Perhaps that's enough bitching about my beans for now.

God knows what ive talked about on the blog today....sorry guys.. blame my bean brain..
