jill dupleix's sesame chicken salad with cucumber and celery

Ahhh, whilst most people at work are depressed by our having-to-come-into-work-even-though-there's-no-work-to-actually-do pre-redundancy stance, I choose to see the positives.

1. I get to have a leisurely lunch with Worcestershire's finest staple salesman in Pho, followed by a coffee at Kaffeine (I'll miss you...);
2. I get to have a leisurely read of my book in the park, meaning I'm well on track to make up all the novels I failed to read on holiday due to child entertaining / laughing at Hayley's chins / watching hockey;
3. I get home early enough to help out with Milo's evening routine, which means we can have a relatively early dinner.

Point three is important as we're still suffering slightly from out transatlantic globetrotting. And being fat it turns out, so a zingy chicken salad it is!

Incidentally, yesterday was enlivened by this find from Miss Nicola Morris: http://www.doggelganger.co.nz - go on, you know you want to! Here's me and my doggelganger Grace:
