“I AM HUNGRY”

Following the daily days eating habits of Joe Bloggs. From waking till sleeping.

Joe walks up to a big stretch and yawn, ready for breakfast he makes his way downstairs to the kitchen. He cooks up some toast, a cuppa and grabs a tangerine. He sits down and eats his breakfast before moving back to the kitchen to clean up the mess he made.

Feeling fully energised now he leaves the house ready for work. At work he feels the hunger settling in, so Joe walks to the shop buys his lunch and finds a bench to sit and fill that spot of hunger, once finished he finds a bin to put all his lunch time waste in. Off back to work.

Nearing the end of his working day Joe again begins to feel hungry; he packs up his desk and makes his way home, ready to prepare his evening meal.

Joe cooks off his dinner, sits down and chows down. Before filling that need to sleep, he takes his dirty plates to the kitchen and finds himself almost ending the day as it begun. Once he’s tidied up evening meal mess, he takes himself off to bed and goes to sleep.
