Weight loss continues - slowly, but in the right direction!

It looks like I am managing it - slowly, sustainable, and hopefully I can maintain it! This morning's weigh-in saw an average of 101.26kg - Thursday's average was 102.16kg. By this time next week, hoping to be just over 100kg. Then, maybe two weeks from now, into double figures. I feel this is achievable!

North Weald is back - this time!

You may remember back in 2005 that I mentioned that the North Weald bus rally was once again off, with the organiser having some choice words to say about the efficiency of the local authority in question. Well, they seem to have resolved all the issues, and after a three year gap, the rally is back on for this Sunday.

As part of the rally, two special services will be operating. There is an "excursion" running as a special Service 718 from London Victoria to the rally. For those who wish to come off the Central Line or other local buses across Essex (or just go for a bash), a special Service 339 will be running about every 20 minutes to/from Epping Underground Station. The services are being operated by Blue Triangle, and it is understood that the unique twin-staircase Volvo Ailsa V3 will be in attendance on at least one of the 718 workings.

This is the Summer of Love...

Had the audio streaming Forth1 this morning, and the Top10@10+1 was playing from 2000. That was quite a good year for me - as they go - and I lived down south throughout, but spent a few good holidays up north! Anyway, first up was Steps, with The Summer Of Love. As you looked out the windows, yes, maybe Summer is back.

Then, I had to walk around to the Royal Mail Delivery Office and back (missed the postie this morning!), and the skies opened up, and started to pour down, soaking me on the way home!

Love - unquestionably.
Summer - not just yet, I think...

... so, off for a nap after I finish my coffee!

Dublin Bus TV Advert

Found this interesting advert here.

"Wherever Your Dublin Takes You" is the new tag line, which isn't as good (I think) as "Changing With The City"...

My Monday

Aargh... Summer Of Love is still in my head! Thank you, Mr Pants! lol

Anyway... thanks to those who asked as to my health recently (after noticing numerous references to "tired" in my posts). I will be asking about it (doctor's appointment tomorrow), and will let you all know in time.

Then again, if you don't hear for me for five weeks, it won't be for grs (at least, not this week).

(Anyone notice my life has a strange parallel right now to how things were in 2001 - with some things in reverse - except, I wasn't in love then...)
