The Hotel Breakfast Diet

I may have discovered a soon to be fad diet - the Full English Breakfast Diet. Not necessarily a weight loss diet, it nevertheless has done wonders for my gout which had been playing up for the past months. I blame the low fat and low carb diet full of fish that Tess had me on. After a few weeks of eggs and bacon and sausages and baked beans for breakfast, my gout has gone!
Of course, it might be that I'm drinking less than when I'm at work but I prefer to blame the low fat diet.
This is my first use of email as a post so that I can compose offline so let's hope it works. I've also changd settings so that you can "react" to a post although they do no provide a "stupid" option. Don't blame me.
Should I try to add a photo to this post? It might overload blogger. Next time.
Before I close, a few words on our first night here at The Caledonian, Oban. The weather has been foul - the trawlers hove to last night because of the winds, swell and rain which hit against our harbour view windows. Sounded like a gale at Thredbo. The temperature last night on my walk to Tesco was also Thredbo in Winter temperature. In May!
Our room is lovely in the day. At night, a powerful streetlight at window height allowed plenty of light through even with the blinds drawn. And don't start me on the old inner spring mattress!
Kippers for breakfast helped ease the memory.
Tess is planning an inside day given the either. Can't blame her.
Cheers.
PS The video below is for the benefit of an old salt I know. Will post a picture of the hotel when I upload them.

I agree, Rob, I think it's the new diet that's helping your gout. Stick with it!
