Despite a rather relaxed week, the weekly-weigh-in, delayed until today, making it a Friday Force-exerted Feedback Fandango, has given me another -1, taking me to a healthy -36 aggregate score. Perhaps I shall take a nice walk or two before the next visit - especially since there are moves afoot to drive me off the beaten track of healthy living next week.

What is it that happens in a man's life which makes his impulse purchasing remarkably homely. Wilko Waffle-Weave tea towels... Given my love of alliteration, these shall now be termed Wilko Waffle Weave Wet Washing-up Wipers. They'll go nicely with the new tray and place mats I also recently bought without planning to. At this rate, I'll actually start using the Kleen-eze catalogue which people keep putting through my letter box and then later disturb me in order to demand them back.
