Catch 22

The thing about eating healthily is - it means no longer opening a packet of something and pouring on boiling water.  Instead it means scrubbing and peeling and chopping.  When you have a bad hand you need all the nutrients available so your body can fight the infection.  But getting your hand wet and even worse, touching vegetable juices, hurts a lot and makes your hand worse.

So this evening I have eaten all that I had which didn't involve uncomfortable prep, and a very odd meal it turned out to be.  A fruit plate of a big peeled pear (the skin gives me apocalyptic indigestion), an apple (the peel of which is just fine and stayed on) and a somewhat over-ripe kiwi fruit, followed by a small avocado with vinegar and a packet of oatcakes with  pumpkin and sunflower seeds baked in.  All organic except the vinegar.

Lord alone knows what I'll eat tomorrow!
