    Weight on departure and weight on return are all the metrics that are of any use. Otherwise there's no way of knowing whether the +5 kg since yesterday is the ice cream you had in Mallaig, or the floorboards of the Glensleech B&B.
  • Here we have the difference between a scientist and an engineer. Are you an engineer, Firenze?

    I think of myself as more a Nartist.

    Though when it comes to construction, I spent an hour or so this morning turning 10 pieces of wood, 4 hinges and a bag of screws into a two-tier bread bin with integral breadboard and knife holder.

    No, as it happens. Bought online as are most things, and Made in China - again, as many such purchases turn out to be.

    Or in this case, made in Embra. :mrgreen:

    Last week, for the first time in a very long time, I cycled 5 miles to work each day (and 5 back, funnily) for a five-day week. I played cricket yesterday.

    Was I fit and revitalised? Was I fuck! I was creaky and stiff, and worse this morning. To add to the fun on Wednesday evening we do the first leg of the cycle to the Cropredy festival, and to get my bike fettled by the Bike Doctor beforehand I need to cycle to work that morning, as he's there on Wednesdays. So I'll be doing 20 miles or so, 10 towing a trailer full of camping gear.

    Exercise, schmexercise!
  • We watched the "Cymanfa Ganu" (Welsj hymnfest) from the Eisteddfod last night. The hymns going round in my mind all night, coupled with a sticky warm bedroom, meant I didn't sleep well. So I gave up and went swimming - I never go on Mondays! Now I feel both tired a revitalised at the same time.
