To follow on from yesterday, some details about the doughnuts.
I didn't take photos, but here is the website for the company we bought them from:

I have only had these once before, a few years ago when a student sports team was selling them to raise funds. They were wonderful, very soft, not oily and glazed with delicious icing.
On Wednesday, we had noted that there was one of these places in tha mall, and Mrs RC had said that she felt I would have to pay a visit. We were all flagging when we saw in, and headed in. Coffees for the girls, Coke for me and doughnuts for me and our daughter. Mrs RC is not a doughnut fan.
They had a massive range, from ones like I had bought from the students to ones covered in nuts, different types of icing and different fillings, such as jam and cream, peanut butter, etc.
I had a chocolate fudgecake one, our daughter (Cicely, let's give her her name for once) had one with peanut butter inside.
As we finished we noticed the 2 dozen (24) for £13 offer. Seemed too good to miss, so I spent the rest of the afternoon looking like a total pig, carrying 2 boxes of doughnuts around. The Mrs RC refused to carry them, and Cicely was not carrying anything, of course.
When we got home, we dived into the doughnuts - our younger son ruined his food plan for the day by eating too many. There were a few left over, so I took 3 to work with me yesterday, which gave me nice sugar boosts during the day.
I was sort of sad to find that the rest had gone by the time I got home, but I think my body was relieved....

So ya'll got Krsipy Kreme over there as well? Cool. I stopped eating doughnuts years ago but I will make a detour for one of those little sinful treats. We used to have several down here but the franchise deal fell apart and they left town in 2003. It was only this last December that they worked it out and are starting up several new stores. But be careful, my friend. If you keep eating a lot of those little jewels and they tend to "grow" on you.
Agg79 - Well this is the nearest one that I know of, about an hour's drive away, so I won't be getting them too often.
If I drink coke or eat a donut, I need to be scraped off the ceiling. I can't imagine what would happen if I had both together! I've yet to try a Krispy Kreme, but have never heard a bad review.
And for your young bodybuilder, I can offer this:

I saw these hot out of the fryer once, and they were so greasy I resolved to never eat them again.
Ahh... Krispy Kremes! We have a few stores around here, and they can be found in quite a few grocery stores as well. I don't indulge TOO often, but when they're brought in to work, I always have to have at least a taste.
And now the girls know how to get you to the mall more often....
Krispy Kremes were all the rage around here for a while. All of the youth groups and sports teams were selling them for fundraisers. Stores popped up all over the place. After a while, it was as if everyone had burned out on them and now I haven't seen a Krispy Kreme in years.
