Sleep 1

00:48 to 07:21

(6:32 hours)

Last night we went to see Dave Gorman in the Corn Exchange and it was a really good show! I drank some wine before we left, and had a couple of (overpriced) glasses while we were there too.

When we got back we went on our computers for about an hour before heading off to bed.

I fell asleep quickly and had a dream about black pudding. I woke up to my alarm at 7:00am but felt tired and reset it for 7:20am. I fell back to sleep quickly and felt much more alert when it went off the second time.

Homemade Black Pudding

Tags: Peder

I was with a load of work people including my friend Pete from Jagex. We were all going to eat together, and the group had recently got a machine for making black pudding.

They opened up the machine and started putting in all of this disgusting meat and blood. It wasn't blood from a fresh carcase, but really disgusting meat that didn't seem very fresh. It looked like they'd raided the bins from a butchers!

When the disgusting mixture was in the machine we left it too cook for a while, and then they served it up to my mate Pete first. He took the slice of black pudding out of the machine and cut into it with his knife and fork. It was a shapeless, half liquid mass of filth on his plate - something truly awful.

I told the group I wasn't going to eat it because it didn't look to be cooked properly, and knowing the quality of the meat I really wanted it to be well cooked. Pete's fork was heading for his mouth but when he heard me say that he stopped and put the black pudding back on his plate.

After that we let the black pudding cook for a long time before taking it out again. This time it looked like black pudding!

I don't remember anything else so I can only assume I woke up before tasting it.

Sleep 2

09:05 to 09:45

(0:40 hours)

This morning I got up, had breakfast and tea and did some programming. I came up to wake Yu Lee up at around 9:00am, and she wouldn't get up so I laid on top of the bed next to her. She cuddled up to me and I ended up getting undressed and back in bed and fell asleep pretty much straight away.

I woke up 40 minutes later when she woke up and we laid in bed for a while.

Sleep 3

10:45 to 12:45

(2:00 hours)

At about 10:30am Yu Lee got up and I started to doze off. At 10:45am the doorbell went (Amazon delivery) and I fell asleep properly shortly afterwards.

I woke up naturally around 12:30pm but then dozed off again for a while. I woke up properly at 12:45pm and got out of bed around 10 minutes later.

In the last 12 hours I've been in bed 10.5 hours. I guess I must have been tired!

Cruise Ship

Tags: Tim Ferriss

I'm on some kind of cruise ship. It's an enormous ship and feels like a city, and I'm staying with several other people. We each have our own room and share a communal area with a kitchen. It feels a lot like student accommodation.

I don't know any of the people I'm with from real life and Yu Lee is not with me. The only other person I recognise from the group is Tim Ferriss.

At one point I'd cooked some food and was eating it, and Tim comes over and asks me if he can have a taste of the fried tomato on my plate. I tell him it's not tomato but caramelised onions, but that he can have some and he goes to take some with his fork, but when he tries to take it it turns out to be a mark on the plate. I tell him that I didn't make much food because we were running out of supplies.

Most of the people in our accommodation have just left and we've got new people in, so there are people unpacking stuff and loading up the fridge and freezer. I notice when they are putting stuff away that there is still a lot of food around the place that is not mine or Tim's, so I go to investigate. There are several cardboard boxes with Abel and Cole stickers on them in the fridge and freezer, and I open one up from the freezer and it has a sausage, some asparagus (in the freezer!) and some other vegetables in it. I talk to the others about it and say we should eat the food that they've left behind and everyone agrees. I think we should group up and cook together, but I don't want to offer because I can't cook for 8 people in the tiny little kitchen.

A little while later 2 of the girls that are staying with us come back in with loads of food shopping. We talk about how expensive everything is on the ship and I ask them how much they've spent, but they say that they haven't paid for anything yet. They have gone round all of the shops on the ship and put items in their basket, and now they have to scan them all with a machine and then pay for them in one go.

I remember thinking that it must take ages to do the shopping like that.
