I was going to do the Friday Five today but had a look at them and really couldn’t be arsed.
They are about dreams and so I couldn’t be bothered for 2 reasons. The first is on the whole my dreams aren’t really very interesting. The second is dreams mean almost as little to me as astrology (which is saying something)
Miserable? Maybe.

yeehaa! I pick up my rental x-pan camera this afternoon
I’m very excited about it but unfortunately the weather forecast isn’t looking good 🙁
Oh – and here’s a picture of one of Vic’s flowers I bought her:

Here’s a quickly snapped image of the flowers I bought Vic. She loved them, asked what I was apologising for (nothing) and then went back to loving them
Not bad for supermarket bought flowers I thought.

I know it’s probably quite normal but the older I get the hairier I get! I’ve never been the most hirsute person in the world and until the last few years you’d be hard pressed to see much hair if I just had my shirt off.
Over the last couple of years though there has been a serious increase in the amount of hair – especially on my stomach. If this carries on I’ll look like Neanderthal man by the time I retire……… :glum:

Ever have a reeaallly long URL that email clients screw up all the time by putting line breaks in the middle of them?
I just found this site called makeashorterlink. What it does is take a long URL and creates a page with a short address and an autoforward function to the original. You can then email this URL happy in the knowledge that it won’t get split.
Here’s an example:
http://forums.pdabuzz.net/showthread.php?
s=38f2372f89b4e568d25f7736a12daaa5&threadid=
38402&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
changes to http://makeashorterlink.com/?J61056AE
It also has options so that you can hide the redirection page, use a new window etc. Handy and free! :star:

1) After watching England’s poor showing against South Korea in their World Cup warm up match today I don’t think they stand a snowballs chance in hell of bringing that cup home. I know, I know it was only a warm up match and Beckham, Fowler et al were out injured but even so……… The first half wasn’t so bad but the second half they played like a bunch of schoolboys.
2) I bought Vic some flowers today. I don’t buy Vic flowers (well not often) I had a moment of love towards her when I was out today and thought she deserved them – she likes flowers 
She gets home in about an hour and it’ll be nice to surprise her.

Well the weekend has come and gone and too quickly at that 🙁
Did sod all this weekend. Vic and I spent saturday morning in the center of London getting the battery in my Longines watch replaced. I have found a place in Bond St that replaces batteries in an hour or so instead of the 3 weeks that some of the high street stores take. I also used them for my Tag Heuer a while back as they can pressure test to 200m.
Sunday morning Richard and I went to Spitalfields Market. I wanted to have a chat to the pro that judged the photo competition I won last week and so we thought we’d get together for a coffee. The food stalls there are great and it was very hard to stick my diet :zoink: but I did……….
Besides that we did f*ck all except chill out and speak to our family back in NZ!
I did however come across this very funny link (IMO) . It may make sense to church-goers but just made me laugh.

Well it’s the end of my first week of dieting and the figures are:
Date……………………20 May
Weight………………..197 lbs
Loss/Gain week…..5 lbs
Loss/Gain Total……5 lbs
Pretty happy with five pounds, although most of it is probably fluid. I made a mistake in my maths last week – I actually weighed 202 lbs!
