Word for the day - röstat bröd

Toast! May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil realises you are dead!*

What kind of chump doesn't keep any bread in the house? All I want in the world is some toast, and yet my dinner options are baked salmon (a bit much at 10.30pm) or muesli and yogurt (deeply uninspiring but the winner by default). Ahh, the minutiae of life!

Hope your evenings have been less lacking in baked goods,

* This is a saying that Bam, Fran, Kate, Morven and I found on a wooden plaque when we were young and carefree and travelling round America. It took us a full week to realise it meant 'toast' in the raising a glass sense. Not in the warming of bread sense. Until this epiphany we were deeply confused by the juxtaposition but bought the plaque anyway. I think it is in the cupboard in Kirk Street these days.
