Was up by 9am, hangover free so went for a run. Felt very smug and virtuous. Hell fire, really hope 2009 doesn’t continue in the same vein. Where is the excitement, the recklessness, the laughter…it’s certainly not sitting here eating fat free, sugar free, taste free yoghurt.

Got a pheasant for lunch. Not had much success with pheasant in the past, but I think I am a bit scared of it – mainly because I am nervous that I am going to get a mouthful of shot and a massive dental bill. Anyway, I have consulted the God that is Nigel Slater and feel that if I wear my new Cath Kidston pinny and add plenty of wine it’ll all be under control.
