Re: MORE random stuff about your day
This is all terribly exciting.
( I was going to post about how I'm watching my recording of Stoke vs West Ham in the FA Cup from earlier this year, having already watched it about 5 times, but decided that would just be too sad an admission.
Instead, I shall pretend I have been water-skiing with Daniel Craig, lunched with Anne Hathaway and been round Poundland with Catherine Deneuve)

Re: MORE random stuff about your day
I'm now 13kg heavier than my fighting weight, 10 kg heavier than my ideal 'walk around' weight. All attempts this year to remedy the situation have perished on the altar of work demands, love of alcohol/food and demotivation; if I can't train hard enough and long enough to compete, why train at all? This has been the worst exercise year of my recent adult life. A disaster. But enough: today I think I turned a corner. I don't like being like this, so I won't be for much longer. Time to to dig deep and make life better.

This afternoon, at about 4pm, me and some colleagues are going to visit the new pub in town The Spitting Feathers.
It boasts cheap UK beer served in authentic UK pint glasses - see link. These prices are $2 - $3 cheaper than anywhere else in town....Marston's Pedigree here I <hic> come....

Great euphemism! I have too, if I'm being honest.

Just heard Glen Campbell on radio four being interviewed about his Alzheimers. He was singing Wichita Linesman and his wife was prompting him with the first words of the next line. Heartbreaking and tender.

I've come to the office without my reading glasses on one of my "cloudy-eye" days. Everything is a bit misty.

Re: MORE random stuff about your day
I'm still in bed, eating hummus on toast and drinking my third cup of coffee. John Grant lp on the stereo. It's raining outside.
Later I'm going to wander to the Usher Gallery and probably lose myself in a bookshop for a while. Tonight got my mate coming over to drink beer and watch Flight of the Conchords.
I like being on holiday. It's really good.

I don't know exactly what you mean by cloudy eye, but I have my own cloudy eye day today, in the shape of conjunctivitis, something I get at least once a year (usually in the summer) and sometimes twice.
It's like looking through a mist.

It's something I've begun getting when tired. I can't read things properly. It isn't all the time though.

Going to Newcastle tonight, then Edinburgh on Saturday, Glasgow on Sunday, Carlisle on Monday then back home on Tuesday. No reason really, just seemed like something to do over the Bank Holliday.

Re: MORE random stuff about your day
We've got a general election here on September 15th, the day before I go to London. Looks like the red cabinet will win. The doubters will decide the outcome on election day, it's all up to the doubters, they hold the future of Denmark in their hands, and I'm not really sure they are aware of this enormous responsibility. Worst thing is what we call "sofa voters", people who stay home and don't vote.

Re: MORE random stuff about your day
I appear to have slept in. Luckily, Fridays are my admin days, so I can go in later and stay later. I suspect though that my sugar levels are reaching critically low levels so I will NEED to stop at the garage and buy a big sticky bun. They're the best form of medicine I know...
Whilst I was "sleeping in", I dreamt first of all about one of my old student houses, only it seemed to have turned into some sort of huge Georgian pile with holes in the roof. THEN I dreamt I went to the big Tescos on a motorbike and saw Cesc Fabregas going in ahead of me with a shopping basket.
I wanted to buy a tub of proper Cornish icecream, made with clotted cream, but bastard Tescos didn't have any and so I ended up with a tub of soya made pretend icecream. It was rubbish. The person on the checkout was a man called Pesi who I used to work with in Harrow ( sadly, no longer with us) He teased and chided me just as he always used to, and so in my dream, I was happy he was still around.
Then I got home and tried the pretend icecream. It was rubbish.
And the moral of the dream? Clearly, it is this: Don't fuck around with stupid low fat fakery foods: get the real thing. You're a long time dead.

I have an infected salivary gland but it's not too bad, was worse the other night.

I just experienced a whole new level of mental screwing at this maths course I am taking. It was utterly dreadful.

I have never eaten halloumi before today, until I was recommended it by a friend.
Now, I want to eat my entire body weight in the stuff...

We often go to a fantastic little Greek place in Liverpool, the Eureka restaurant. It's not much to look at from outside, but the food is outstanding. Their halloumi and chargrilled sardines are just killer.
