Let's get the bad news over with first:
current weight: 76.4 kg
Now if that weight looks at all familiar it could be because that's exactly what I weighed a month ago. I thought I'd been so good this week too. Apart from those three chocolate truffles, that is. I felt sure there was a rule somewhere that stated chocs brought to your house by dinner guests had to be consumed out of politeness and their calories don't count. But I could be wrong on that one.
Is lack of exercise a factor? Nah, surely not. I am spending more time on my computer since I got broadband but it's time I would otherwise have spent sleeping, reading or watching tv. It's not that I would have been competing in triathlons or anything.

I take back (for the moment) all the mean and nasty things I was thinking (and may have mentioned in passing) about Telstra. The bloke arrived on time, installed a cable, attached it to my laptop and configured the necessary software in no time flat. I now have a cable Broadband internet connection... AND I LOVE IT. For readers in Brunei I should tell you that Broadband is the equivalent of your e-speed. For readers in the Temburong district of Brunei I should explain that..but why bother, you've got a power cut just now anyway so you won't be reading this at all.
And my weight this week? Hm,well, it's not worth a fanfare. An increase of 400gms. One step forward, two steps back. Current weight: 75.8 kg

Current weight: 75.4 kg. Let me just repeat that in case you missed it the first time: 75.4 kg. Yup, it's going down again. This is despite the delicious Greek meal I ate on Saturday. Hooray! Doesn't it make you want to skip gaily down to the ice-cream shop to celebrate? Maybe later.
In other news, I have just discovered our neighbours have a doorbell that plays 'Darling Clementine'. This is a worry.
Also, I have finally taken the plunge and signed up for broadband. Telstra say they are coming to install cables, cast spells and walk widdershins round the property on Thursday. I am, therefore, expecting to be offline for a while. My previous experience has not inclined me towards optimism in these matters but I would be very pleased to be proved wrong and be able to report a trouble-free installation in next week's blog entry. Fingers crossed folks.

OK, let's get the bad news over with first.
Current weight: 76.8 kg. a 400gm increase.
I have promised the friend who invited me to his house for breakfast yesterday that I won't whinge about him too much in public. He, correctly, pointed out that all he did was to provide bacon, fried eggs, buttered toast, two kinds of sausage, fried tomatoes, mushrooms, orange juice and croissants. I was not obliged to eat them. I, therefore, absolve him of all responsibility for this week's gain.
