I am sure someone would give me their seal of approval, or a walrus.

It’s been one of those days.

After getting out of the shower, this morning, I managed to pull my neck whilst drying myself using a towel! The sort that is right between the shoulder blades and hurts to turn my head in either direction.

During the day I’ve been going hot and cold and so fear I have the lurgy coming.

Then, after cooking me tea, I proceeded to think it was a good idea to pick up the rack off the gas hob, to clean underneath it, whilst it was still hot and proceeded to burn my finger enough that it has blistered.

Write today off and start again tomorrow

Hope you are feeling better and today is the best day ever!

Another 4lbs off last week, which makes 24lbs in the first four weeks of January...

I'm liking the 5:2 diet.

Well done mate, it's great shedding the pounds and you get to clothes shop as a prize

 

[Levo-Lon]

Well that was rather nice, cool and a bit of frost, I'm now very hot and sweaty but feeling great, I hate the drive to work.

A friend has just contacted me to say that his computer will not start. There is power to the on/ off switch which lights up but nothing happens. I thought that there might be a reset button somewhere ? The computer is a HP 2211 tower, any ideas ?

Pretty much anything. On light is usually fed from the motherboard but you could still have part of the PSU dead. Does the CD open, does the disk light flash, do the keyboard status lights come on? I think the HP 2211 is the monitor though.

According to the NHS, my ideal healthy weight is between 65 kg and 85 kg for my height of 6’ 1”. I think I’ll aim for a compromise of 75 kg and see how I go. My aim is to be healthy. Too much weight loss isn’t healthy.

Ah ! definitely under weight, I figured I was just on the border of the bmi index, before writing this I weighed myself this morning and it read 59.9 kg or 9st 6.3/4, I've been over 10st nearly 11st, when i worked at a mountain bike hire place as a trail guide in the early 90s. Nowadays when I eat extra to give the energy for a long ride I just burn it off, being light ain't a target it's just how I am, and I eat .....well like a healthy cyclist at least 3meals a day, + extras, still the advantages are riding up hills is quite ok, and the mrs likes my youthful frame....

It seems to be working now. Thanks.

I rang him up last night and another friend had been round and jiggled a few wires and got it working. Probably a loose connection.

Could be. Makes sense, that.

Can't see anything about asteroids / meteors etc on the news, local or otherwise. What I saw reminded me somewhat of the footage shot when the space shuttle Columbia burned up on reentry.

Could have been a meteor or space junk, I've seen a couple of meteors that broke up like that. One looked like a harp, then broke apart. (It was right before the Good Friday Truce.)

You know that some people have had the old telephone boxes converted into shower units.

It would be handy if they left the telephone connected, so that you could answer it if someone should call you whilst you were taking a shower like somebody did just now.

Very crafty.
Especially the little girl cat playing the theremin.

It is nice and sunny here, enough to make one dig out their bike and go for a cycle ride. That is where I've been. I've been out on a single speed. Well that is what happened when I looked down to the changer and saw that it wasn't there ! . I must have taken it off to fit it on another bike. Oh well ! I thought I'm going now, so I did my ride in top gear. It was only 5 miles but it was a nice sunny little potter.
I think I might have heard some Skylarks.

Hasn't rained here since I bought my new overshoes.

An excellent investment so far

Plans to open a 24 hour chip shop in Cardiff have been rejected
