Now I know that this sounds like a 'the dog ate my homework' sort of excuse but I swear it's true: I've packed the scales so I'll have to skip the weigh-in this week. It's probably just as well as I've been eating out rather a lot. Latest ice-cream delight: Leonardo da Chocolate: chocolate ice-cream with marzipan and almonds. I'd better get back to the packing. We move tomorrow.

I've unstapled the jeans and given them to the lady in the shop to take up properly but as she is only open when I am at work I'm having a spot of bother retrieving them. It's still too hot for jeans anyway so there's no rush.
The house purchase is moving ever closer. Today we were given the guided tour of the security system by the (soon to be ex-) owner. It's his pride and joy and he's gutted to be moving. The whole house is totally computerized. It doesn't have a key, it has a 'smart card' you wave at the wall in a friendly manner whilst murmuring "open sesame" and the house unlocks itself, switches on the lights and puts your pipe & slippers by the fireside. On being informed of the impending sale his mother-in-law enquired "But are they worthy?" It seems that we are. Having been brought up on Dr Who and Star Trek, I am no stranger to technobabble. I convinced him that the user interface modules will be in safe hands. I've also assured him that we really won't be upset if he takes the windmill and the water-feature sculpted by his great-aunt from the garden. The sale will go ahead next week.
All this stress has been the cause of several lapses with a baked date slice not to mention a Mississippi Mud cake moment only this evening.

I just thought I'd mention that it's 10 days, 20 hours and 27 minutes till the new Dr Who series begins on BBC1. Starring Christopher Eccleston as the Doc. And a fat lot of of good that'll do me coz I'll be in Aus. Anyone keen to start up their computer with the classic sound of the TARDIS dematerializing should hotfoot it over to the Beeb site (link above) and download it immediately.

You probably won't be interested. I'm not really but just in case anyone wants to read about chocolate instead of eating it, here's the link.

I'm wearing the jeans I bought last week but I had to staple them to stop myself falling over the extra long legs. I'll get them taken up properly when the lady who does the alterations is back from her holiday.
Austerity month is over. We have house guests again and our social life is back to normal. Hence the increase in weight. It's as I always suspected though, it was my custom keeping the local Baskin and Robbins afloat. During my month off it closed down and the whole place is being refitted as a Subway sandwich store.
