I managed to get an extra day out of my girlfriend's visit as we had a weekend that tired her out enough to give an excuse to her mother for her late return. It wasn't an immensely tiring weekend, but it was busy enough to get me into a shop to buy jeans - jeans which don't feel so well that I feel comfortable or unfat. We managed to fit a Saturday night in at a pool hall, which was nice. I think I managed to recoup some of my losses at the game. Previously I've had my fat ass whipped. My new form was probably only temporary.

The weekend was also busy enough for us to attend a family barbecue in Leeds on the Sunday afternoon. It was a great barbie and we were made to feel very welcome... and full... and laden with leftovers.

Monday night involved eating some leftovers and feeling full again.
