After knowing for only 8 years, N finally figured out how to engage with me during the end of the academic year.
4 kinds of sausage and my favorite very hard black bread from Lithuania will help me deal with the insanity that late April – early May always are for an academic.
N’s care basket. Does he like the same kind of sausages and bread?

No, he’s completely indifferent. He likes sweet things.
I don’t know how I would be able to live with a person who laid claims to my sausage.

I’m not generally a fan of sausage unless it’s Cumberland or Lincolnshire sausage, or perhaps Sainsbury’s Bramley apple sausage, but I do agree with N on sweets …
For me sweets are a life-saver, quite literally — I have to deal with hypoglycaemia on a regular basis, so the occasional Double Decker bar or Cadbury Fudge helps considerably.
A few friends have likened me to being like the character Rodney McKay from the Stargate series — if his blood sugar gets too low he turns into Super Cranky Man, and actually, so do I.
Maybe this is why I empathised with Jeremy Clarkson’s situation — I came close to blows with one idiot decades ago whose grandstanding and wasting of my time left my blood sugar dangerously below 65 mg/dL …

Oh, I really miss that bread. Will have to scrounge some up this week.

Those prices are incredibly reasonable — one brief tour through the Harrods food hall will clue you in to what we normally have to pay for meats.

I know, the prices of pretty much everything slaughtered me in London back in 2012. I have no idea how people manage. A cabbie who drove us said he’d been living in London his entire life, and the city was getting impossibly expensive.
