AND TOAST IS A MORNING THING

And as if eating cake in the mornings wasn't weird enough, this afternoon the office is permeated with the smell of burning toast.

"This has to be the only place I go where people stuff their faces with cake in the morning and then cook toast in the afternoon," I said, raising my eyebrows.

Now in fairness, I'm less fussy about when you can eat toast. To be honest, I don't get to set these rules - that's up to the Queen. And she doesn't get involved in politics.

Anyway, in my world, toast is a morning thing or a very late at night thing. In fact, so late at night that it's a morning. Which still makes it a morning thing in my book.

I haven't written a book, I'm just saying, if it were up to me... which it isn't... and I don't know how I'd enforce it. Anyway, like I say, the Queen's not going to get involved. And I don't have a toaster.

In any case, I think she likes a digestive biscuit.
