Busy Friday
I’m not having much luck this week. Yesterday I had my first migraine in 18 years, which sent me straight to bed, half-blind and very confused, without watching the election results.
Today I feel improved but am extremely busy at work and have no exciting Guardian achievements to report, and no time to report them if I did.
Here’s today’s look. Let’s hope tomorrow’s mag contains enough barmy fashion to keep the entertainment levels up despite my increasing failure to conform with requirements, particularly recipe-wise.

Conclusions:
- I have friends coming for the weekend so I might actually be able to excuse a bit of cooking and having fun – gasp! Wait, what am I talking about? I just spent a long weekend canoeing, pubbing, flailing around Suffolk and generally having a disproportionate amount of fun. And now four days of knuckling down and I’m complaining! It’s the boring diet food that’s destroying my enthusiasm. But needs must. At the end of the long salad road, Dan Lepard will be waiting with a cake recipe to reward this abject torture.
I've always found it funny when people write letters to the Guardian's Weekend magazine complaining that the recipe ingredients are too middle class and the fashion only looks good on thin people. After all, it's just a magazine. Or is it? I decided to follow its recipes, fashion and lifestyle advice as closely as possible, to see if the aspirations promoted therein can really be achieved by the average reader who is not especially wealthy, not necessarily model thin and is obliged to work regular office hours. This blog has no affiliation whatsoever with the Guardian but I link to the Weekend magazine website for the purposes of illustration.
