Things are looking up, even if salad is involved!

Human contact achieved! Good thing too as another day at home may have led me to actually chew my arm off, or worse - turn into a full hermit like my younger brother who's gone mentally derranged and demands to strangers Xbox live, "Tell me you like penguins!" and serenades then with heartfelt renditions of Coldplay's "Yellow".

We walked around our miserable hometown for 4 hours talking about anything and everything. To the stranger's ear bollocks but I like talking bollocks. I'm very good at it, it's what friendship is all about. Not that I should give lessons on that, being socially awkward makes it hard to find a proper group of people who are on the same wavelength as you so I guess even if it did take 15 years I'm lucky to have these guys! Look at me the old sap!

When I arrived home I found my Mum cooking. Mum. Cooking? Yes indeed, she's decided we need to start eating healthily so I found a chicken breast, salad and sauteed potatoes on my plate today. It doesn't sound too bad but GIVE ME BACK MY FROZEN CHICKEN DIPPERS! I want processed food and it's only been a day.

Dieting is the most stupid practise (practise, practise, practice blah) and when it happens in our house it consists of everyone eating sloppy Weight Watchers microwave meals then getting fed up and ordering a "one off" chinese take away at the weekend. It's scary and serious this time, she asked me to do...badmington with her!! What the duck is that all about?

Lets just accept that some people just aren't meant to be skinny!


As I have no photo of the three of us here's an excellent photo of Michelle McManus from when I stalked her around Murcia airport -
