Dining table, 8:12
 
For some reason we have a Kellogg’s Variety Pak in the house and I find myself shocked by the new packet designs. I have noticed them in the shops and I cannot work out what the designers imagine they have achieved.
The name of the cereal seems carefully hidden and the packets seem oddly unreadable: both literally and in the semiotic sense.
I finish my breakfast, go for a walk and listen to an episode of No Stupid Questions from which Steven Dubner has run away. Angela Duckworth hosts it with Laurie Santos from the Happiness Lab podcast.
I wonder whether I should start listening to that too.
