Tech E's Diary - January 13th

January 13 - My real life took me out for breakfast at McDonalds. It was great! We had bacon and cheese McMuffins, and from Tesco we had a sausage roll each, and my real life had a chocolate milk while I had a strawberry milkshake. Yum! Come to think of it, I seem to be missing someone in my life right now…

A Little Bit Of Cinnamoroll...

Morning, everyone!

Recently I saw a video about Cinamoroll, Sanrio's cutest character besides Hello Kitty and Pompompurin, having his morning routine, and it's the cutest one yet! He washed his face, then brushed his teeth, and then went downstairs to the kitchen to cook himself some breakfast. So, I'm going to take a leaf out of this little guy's book and have my own morning routine, which I call a 'Cinnamoroutine'. You can try it too yourself, it's easy!

First, when you get up in the morning, it's important to understand how itchy facial spots can get, especially when it comes to acne you got as a teenager, so, wash your face very carefully with a washcloth or a shower flower. It gets rid of all those annoying histamine bugs underneath your skin and makes it smoother and less itchy.

Next, it's really important that you brush your teeth. According to one video I saw, if you don't brush and floss your teeth every day, a strange substance on your teeth combines with sugar from your food and can cause cavities, so a nice, long brush, even brushing the gums, can do your dirty teeth from a long night the world of good.

Next, go into the kitchen and prepare yourself a nourishing breakfast. Now I may like Bluey Cereal as my own personal favourite, because the biscuits taste of vanilla and they go great with milk, especially after H took me out to get this and a Bluey advent calendar. But, the most important and nutritious part of all breakfasts you can have is something exciting - like cheeseburgers, sausage rolls, pork cocktail sausages and chicken bites.

I'm sticking to that routine from now on, and you should be too!

Oh, and it also applies to bedtime too - except, you can still wash your face and brush your teeth, but instead of a large, filling meal, have a gentle, warm mug of camomile tea. That's what Cinamoroll should tell you if you were to get sleep advice from him.

So, no need to wake up to a rooster crowing. Wake up to the sound of your own instincts and do it like Cinamoroll!

My Day Out On Saturday Being Like...

Cheese & Strawberries, Sausage Rolls & Thunderbird 3 At Chessington Zoo

When I'm Out To The Shops With My Support Worker....

Like Bread, Like Butter

Today I went to my support worker's house for a nice, nutritious breakfast of sausage rolls and bacon rolls and to meet her hyperactive dog, Stan, who nearly scratched me to death! We talked about the Mood Bears colouring and activity books, and I helped my support worker make some bread with....100 KNEEDS?! WOW!

What recipe that involves grains do you like to make?

My Top 10 Favourite Tastes

Some tastes never leave you. They settle in your memory like old friends—always there when you need a bit of comfort, joy, or something deliciously familiar. Today, I’m counting down 10 of my all-time favourite tastes, from fizzy comforts to breakfasts that warm the soul. Let the countdown begin!

10. Coke Zero
That first fizz on the tongue. The tingle. The zing. Coke Zero has always been my go-to refresher, whether I’m snuggled under a blanket watching Roobarb or sipping it beside a picnic spread. It’s the taste of modern comfort in a can.

9. Cake
Whether it’s chocolate fudge, Victoria sponge, or even a slice of cherry cake after breakfast like Roobarb would have, cake is my celebration taste. I like it soft, generous, and eaten with a big smile (and possibly a finger swipe of frosting when no one’s looking).

8. Hot Cocoa
A mug of hot cocoa on a quiet day is more than a drink—it’s a hug. Sometimes I add milk and biscuits. Sometimes I just sip in silence and let the chocolatey warmth do the talking. Especially good after a seaside breeze or a bedtime story.

7. Chicken Bites
The crispy kind, warm from the oven or tucked into a picnic box. There’s something joyful about them—like little golden pockets of happiness. I always reach for them when I need something simple and satisfying.

6. Pork Cocktail Sausages
Plump, juicy, and full of flavour. Whether they’re packed up for a road trip or laid out with sausage rolls and cheese sandwiches, they’re a proper party-on-a-plate food. They’ve earned their place in every picnic I dream up.

5. Choco Puffs – The 'Monster Chocolate Taste'
Gone, but never forgotten. This Sugar Puffs spinoff had the boldest, most mischievous chocolate flavour I’ve ever known. Like eating cereal in a monster’s chocolate cave. I can still hear the crunch and taste that wild, sweet hit of cocoa. Bring them back!

4. Chocolate Bars
Oh yes—this one’s timeless. Whether it’s creamy milk chocolate, dark and dreamy squares, or a cheeky little bar after dinner, chocolate just knows what I need. It’s not just a treat. It’s a moment.

3. Sausage Rolls
The flaky pastry. The warm, herby filling. Sausage rolls are the stuff of cozy mornings and garden lunches. They remind me of visits with my support worker, breakfast chats, and telling Stan the dog to get his paws off the table.

2. Cornflakes
The king of breakfast calm. Especially when paired with chocolate milk and followed by a slice of something sweet. Cornflakes aren’t just cereal—they’re a golden blanket in a bowl. Pure routine. Pure love.

1. Bacon
And here we are. Number one. Bacon. There’s no competition. The smell alone is enough to lift my spirits. Crispy, smoky, a bit salty—nothing makes me feel more at home. It’s the taste of mornings, camping adventures, and everything good sizzling in the pan.

So there you have it—my top ten tastes.
Each one tells a little story, wrapped up in crunch, warmth, fizz, or sweetness. What are your favourite tastes? Do they bring you memories too?

Let’s keep tasting the good stuff. 💛
