PSP and DS to launch in Europe in March...

More info. Save up those pennies.

Both available on import from GBAX. PSP reviewed on the same site - he quite likes it.

Chris clones himself...

Crazy guy... presumably multiplying the volume of cat hair and drool stopped chris from doing the same to Jimmy.

Apple iHome...

Is this a low cost Apple media centre? Word is that these images are faked (aside from centre spelt correctly, some prople really have too much time), but there are strong rumours that amongst this week's product announcements will be a sub-$500 headless imac - an ibook - spec G4 shipped without monitor.

Also mooted are flash memory ipods and other cool wallet-tempting stuff for me to evangelise about.

Jonny, NOT AGAIN!

Wilkinson injured yesterday, out for at least the first two six nations matches. Grrr.

detox over, coffee fantastic...

The long 5 days has come to an end. Believe it or not, yesterday I was feeling great - full of energy, healthy, hydrated, and in a good mood. We've both lost a good few pounds as well. Food yesterday included half a melon for breakfast (cheap gag at rach's expense included), sunflower bread, a smoothie (kiwi, banana, pinapple & 'sharon fruit'), grilled fish and veg for tea, with a load of fruit. Eating more healthily is going to be a doddle after this.

Today, after a glorious breakfast of cereal and tea, we're going for a walk along the beach while our lamb stew cooks for 8 hours in the new slow cooker.

Detox, well into day 4 now...

Into the final straight now. Tea last night was absolutely delicious - butternut squash soup. I don't really feel any better for doing this, to be honest, but at least I'm feeling virtuous about my food intake. Still aching a bit in my joints, but I don't know whether that's the caffeine or the 2 consecutive days going swimming. Chris (who is now photoblogging) has given up caffeine permenantly, something there is no danger of me doing. Had a very pleasant meeting with officer Jim last night, who was horrified that I was sticking to juice.

Feb 14th - Elvis Costello at the Usher Hall, hurrah!

Phil's next purchase?

5-day detox reviewed...

I'm finding it easier than this person

Detox, day 2 complete...

We're coming up to the halfway point, and the moments wondering why I'm putting myself through this continue... I keep craving coffee (no caffeine allowed), a bowl of cereal (no dairy allowed) and of course, beer, chocolate, anything from crombie's ... This morning I have very little energy, feeling quite miserable staring into a cup of herbal tea!

But it's a short push through to Saturday, happy in the knowledge that this is like a full oil change in the car, running more efficiently afterwards and in the knowledge that our 2005 healthy living plan will seem really easy after this week.

Yesterday's tea, cooked by Rach (after a very tiring swim), was a delicious chicken and fresh veg stir fry, cooked with organic soy sauce, ginger, garlic with brown rice cooked in organic stock. Tonight we're planning a butternut soup, with possibly a visit from officer Strugnall and future missus, in Edinburgh scouting for castle wedding venues.
