Detox, day 1 complete...

Dinner yesterday - delicious: soup made from apple, parsnip, carrot, leek, onion and lentils, with curry and herbs. Served with seedy wholemeal bread. Finished off with lots of fruit and more water in front of the new series of Shameless.

This morning: melon, green tea, water. Seriously missing tea or coffee - my legs and fingers are aching and I'm berift of energy. A bit like the England cricket team, who are following up their unbeaten 2004 by getting comprehensively mullered by South Africa in Cape Town.

New Year 2004-5

Happy New Year everyone.

New Year was spent with Tim, Karen, Phil, JaneR, JaneE and Glenn. We really missed Chris though. Actual New Year was spent at the street party which was great fun. We had a few rounds of golf, watched the marvellous Sound of Music (which Glenn in particular enjoyed), and chilled out a lot.

Tim has kindly posted some photos to his site.

Rach and I have started a 5-day detox today, which will be closely followed by a proper diet in order to get in shape for May.

Today's food so far:

Half a melon / apple / satsuma
2 wholemeal seeded bread rolls
some leftover couscous with roasted veg
2 pints water
2 cups of herbal tea

I'm missing tea and coffee badly, maybe having withdrawl symptoms. It's also the first day back at work, so today could be better in all honesty!

Quite possibly the worst idea for a movie ever...

Steve Martin, officially not funny since the 80s, starring as Clouseau in a remake of The Pink Panther. This looks beyond terrible.

Geek alert - new handheld consoles on their way...



Nintendo DS

Sony PSP

PSP wins on looks and apparently the graphics are better, but I think it's the DS for me - innovative gameplay / battery life / metroid / zelda / mario... and it will keep the gameboy collection up to date.

Speaking of games, the new Zelda game for GBA is absolutely sublime and will be devouring my time over the Christmas break.

England - 8 consecutive cricket test wins

Well done chaps. BBCRead all about it.

New phone...

Just received my new Sony Ericsson K700i, which will hopefully be good value for money, as it was free.

Do you think your employer is rubbish...?

Spare a thought for the employees at EA games, blogged by a spouse. Interesting.
