Living Below the Line - Day 5

LIVING BELOW THE LINE - DAY 5

Well the 5 days are over and I am about to head off to bed. Perhaps a little disappointed that the week has not been harder but definitely more thoughtful about what I will buy in the future and probably less in the way of thinking - Oh I would like to eat that tonight, so I will buy it.

Today we ate porridge for breakfast, green pea soup for lunch and tomato and egg curry for supper.

I think the 5 have been a great challenge in many ways and perhaps it has also been exciting to put my mind to how I can make each day's food interesting. I am in that fortunate position of knowing where my next meal will come from unlike so many millions of the world's poorest people. Also how fortunate am I that by no virtue of my own I live in a land of plenty when millions go hungry every day? I do hope that this challenge will encourage people to give what they can to the Agencies working to bring about a more just world.
