Among the medical myths that have been investigated by researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine is the one that we should all be drinking “eight glasses of water” every day. according to proponents of this, fluids in food, coffee, soft drinks and for that matter beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks, don’t count.

Now how did I miss this? It seems that research reported back in 2003 shows that a pint of Guinness a day is as effective as taking aspirin when it comes to preventing life-threatening blood clots. Which sounds as good an excuse as any - cheers!

Mutter, mutter,
Well, I started as I intended. Walked to work, which was OK. But by lunchtime, my knees, especially the right one, were not at all happy, and were doing their best to put me in a similar mood.
At which point, I remembered that it’s been a very long time […]

Regular readers may have noticed that the last week or so was a bit quiet around here. Well, until today, when I did a bit of catching up, and got round to some reviews I’ve been meaning to get round to for a while, plus a few that just occurred to me. In fact, I […]

Mutter. I’ve got the week off, and I was planning to get out and about a bit with the camera. When I got up this morning, it was nice and sunny, and I was feeling fine. But a few hours later, just as I was getting myself into the right frame of mind to go […]

Mutter, still coughing. But at least my weight was down again today - 206.2 pounds (14 stone 10.2 pounds, 93.5kg). I’m hoping that by tomorrow I’ll have got it together[1] enough to catch up on the posts I’ve been putting off for the last few days. Maybe.

I still seem to have the last traces of last week’s cold hanging over me.[1] Still coughing and sneezing, just not as frequently as before.
Tuesday’s weight was down by a teeny bit to 207.2 pounds (14 stone 11.2 pounds, 94.0kg). Once again, I managed to walk to and from work, but ran out of […]

Still coughing a bit, and still feel a bit run down, but overall I’m a lot better than I was. Just in time to go back to work tomorrow.
This morning’s weight was up a wee bit to 207.0 pounds (14 stone 11 pounds, 93.9kg). That’s nearly three pounds down on a week […]

Saturday’s weight was up to 206.8 pounds (14 stone 10.8 pounds, 93.8kg). This cold thingy is stopping my brain from coming up with anything more interesting than that.
Various reviews will follow in a few days. As will the Edinburgh pictures, assuming I can stop myself Photoshopping them

This morning’s weight was down again to 206.0 pounds (14 stone 10 pounds, 93.4kg), despite yesterday’s inactivity. Maybe trying to fight off the lurgy is burning more calories or something.
It was a warm sunny day, but I couldn’t really appreciate it. I did go out for a couple of hours, but […]
