Swimmingly ok.

I’ve been threatening to go swimming for a while now and for christmas/birthday I kitted myself out with some swimming items, namely a waterproof mp3 player and some über goggles.

But the good news it’s only temporary!
So much has happened, so many potential blogs and blog subjects, but I haven’t posted for ages.
I need to update the old Diet Club information, in which I’ve lost 2lbs and some centimeters.
I’ve done some bike rides with Joby, some other bloke and Lost.
I’ve been to the gym and [...]

The First Rule of Diet Club…..

…. is to lose weight, obviously. I am however at liberty to talk about diet club. In fact we, the exclusive members of diet club, are encouraged to shout about Diet Club as mush as possible as a means of encouraging the weight loss. “Look at me everybody, I’m a fat bastard! Yes, I know [...]
