I'm in the middle of a rather extreme diet at the moment. I've dropped over a stone and a half in 4 weeks,
a week of that I was on holiday and not being all that careful. It was prompted by me buying a rather nice used but
as new jacket a while ago that should have fit me.

Despite being a 44 inch chest it was too small. There was a good couple of inches between both halves of the zip
at stomach level, although it was tight it went round my chest. I had to suck in and hold it to get the damn thing done
up and it was anything but comfortable. Well, I'm in it now. I'm not quite done yet, I prefer to be on the lighter side of
average weight if I'm honest as I have a LOT of clothes stored that I haven't worn for a while because they were too tight
with me at the higher weight. But the jacket, whilst snug (as it should be) goes on just fine. It's nice when you can see the
effort paying off. I will not flump off into middle age without a fucking fite.

After my recent shitty luck with having my bike nicked and cutting my Eurotrip short I think I was due some good karma my way!

My mum surprised me with a spa treatment so I have just had a wonderful back, neck and shoulder massage. Feel very chilled now

And I took on some additional work back in June and they finally sent through my last payslip just now, so come Friday I will get a significant wodge of cash in my account.

Did a lot of brazing at work today.
Last time I did anything like that was over ten years ago.

From another thread: fixed the microwave with a less-than-£1 part (12A ceramic fuse). Many people scrap them due to not knowing.

RhynoCZ: I particularly like fixing things marked with "No user servicable parts inside", although this wasn't such an occasion

Today I did manage 30mins on-the-spot jogging. So I guess that means I should start getting out and doing it properly now. Another barrier tumbled

had a whole week of oily gears

mainly because of good pubs/food etc but also because of seeing dolphins just off the coast
watching a kingfisher catch and eat fish
seeing the sea and being able to paddle

eating chips by the sea also helped

After a software update for my Nvidia tablet, I had an annoying sound sync problem whenever I connected it to my tv via hdmi.
Took me a while to suss it but today I have.

Removing the petrol tank of the latest 125 and finding a spider with a long small body and very long legs on the underside of it tending to a lot of little spiders, about 50, with proportionately long small bodies and long legs. I won't need the tank for a while, so put it careully in a shed.
