Going out with a bang

I have to fast for 24 hours ahead of a procedure tomorrow. This - a vegan version of the famous Portuguese delicacy, with a cup of coffee - was my final solid food until probably 4pm or so tomorrow.  Actually it is more than fasting as I have to - how to put this delicately? - take substances that ensure I am as "clean" inside as possible…

The pastel de nata was bought in Soho yesterday. Expensive but very good.  If you’ve never had one you’re missing out. The pastry is delicious and there is a good recipe and history in The Guardian.

Be glad when this is all over …
