Boarding house food

The school doesn't allow children to bring their own food: they all dine together, with each table having a student from each grade, as well as a teacher (different places each day) - to instill a sense of family. They have a biscuit and drink at morning break, and (just to get those tummies rumbling) the lunches for this week are:
  • Monday: Chilli con carne with vegetables, followed by arctic roll (ice cream inside a jam/sponge roll) and peaches
  • Tuesday: Pork and lentil casserole, followed by syrup steamer and custard
  • Wednesday: Roast chicken, followed by fresh fruit
  • Thursday: BBQ sausage casserole, followed by cheesecake
  • Friday: Bubbly battered cod fish fingers, followed by pears and chocolate sauce.
I've started catching a few BBC Radio4 broadcasts. I hadn't realised how much I was missing ABC Radio National! I've downloaded the schedule, and will have to decide which bits are essential. We don't have any clocks in the house, except in the kitchen. I can listen to the radio on a mobile phone in the bedroom, but it's frowned upon a little...

If we're not too busy moving house on Saturday, I'll try to catch the Gloucester Cathedral All Souls Durufle Requiem service at 4:30pm. On Sunday morning at Hereford there's Victoria O Quam Gloriosum followed by Howells Collegium Regale matins.
