For the last three years I’ve used January to try and learn something new. Three years ago it was to try 31 days of exercise, two years ago it was 31 days of stretching, last year it was 31 days of learning to play the piano and this year it’s going to be 31 days of… lunch.

I love lunch. Especially when I’m at work. My favourite lunch was when I worked as a porter in Stornoway Hospital and my lunch was taken at 3am in the morning. That’s when I worked night shift and would sleep most of the day and have lunch at night, and always the same thing: two rolls and cheese, a can of coke and a mars bar. And crucially, a newspaper, which I would read back to front, from sport to news.

For half and hour I wasn’t in an empty, dark hospital where I could walk the corridors and not see anyone for hours at a time. I was having lunch. I was at Celtic Park. I was anywhere but at work.

Even now, when I have lunch, I’m not at work, I’m at lunch. I don’t look at email. I don’t work. I read the news, I read about Scottish football. The only thing that has changed is that I don’t eat a Mars Bar, I have a yoghurt because it’s healthier. Or at least I think it is. I bet if I check it’s probably has just as much sugar as a Mars Bar. (But I’m not going to check).

But, for this year’s 31 day challenge, I’m going to try and change more about my lunch. I still love a roll and cheese. However, I’m going to try and introduce more variety (no, I’m not going to start reading TMZ instead if Celtic Quick News) and try different different fillings, different rolls… maybe even different lunches completely. Hello, sushi.

So, for the next 31 days, TwinBikeRun is becoming TwinBikeLunch.

And, today, we start with an old favourite. the Tuna Mayonnaise sandwich.

Bread: a couple of days old Italian bloomer from Newlands Bakery.

Filling: Tuna Chunks in Spring Water from Morrisons, Hellman’s Mayonnaise and a couple of spoonfuls of capers.

I’m not sure why I started adding capers to tuna mayonnaise I think I had it in a cafe and liked it so started doing it at home. I don’t always add it, just when I remember to buy capers. Because, really, who buys capers every week?

Taste: Spot on. Can’t go wrong with a classic.
