Ugh.

Throat is sore, it's been sore on and off all week feeling slightly swollen but I think it might be actually properly irritated now as well.

Kodaly exam is going to involve a bit more practise than previously anticipated, particularly of the handsigns. So, no Aikido for me tonight. GRAH to that, I wanna go Aikido, but passing tomorrow's exam is kindof important too...

Didn't get other academic stuff done. Did practise horn quite a bit, which is good. Might do more of that this evening, as I've a lesson tomorrow and it would be nice for it to go well for once.

Did have salad for lunch, but then had pasta and cheese later. I wasn't actually physically hungry. My brain seems to want the satisfaction of something warm and cheesy, or at least savoury, every few hours, whether I need it or not. Not sure what to do about this. At least it was wholewheat pasta, and I didn't succumb to the boxes of Kraft Dinner. Perhaps low-calorie cup-a-soup things would be useful but they really are foul and full of yuck. Suggestions? Miso soup is an idea but somehow doesn't quite appeal. Chocolate also appeals but I think I'm probably better off, at this point, eating wholewheat pasta and cheese or poverty noodles and eggs than tucking into bars of chocolate. Fruit and other moderately healthy sweet things don't really appeal; various herbal teas don't really catch my fancy, or not unsweetened anyway. Maybe I could get some of that peppermint and licquorice tea, that was quite sweet on its own, without being as sweet as the Bengal Spice stuff (which is lovely but not the flavour I'm looking for, either).

I think I'll have bagels for dinner, and grab some for breakfasts later in the week as well.

There was something else but I've forgotten it now.

Off to teach trumpet in Bethnal Green.

Trying to make more public posts again these days.

Seeds? Nuts? Bread & hummous? Bread & marmite?

Or a nice mug of Touch of Taste veg stock concentrate - I think it was you who recommended drinking it on its own? (And I still can't find a web page about it to link to in situations like this. Maybe I should write them one.)

I use the Marigold vegetable bouillon stuff, but yes, that is good for savoury-taste.
