Forgot
to mention that the other day I did the "Fiendish" and the
"Super Fiendish" suduko in the times............How f***ing smart am
I?! Answers on a post card :-)
Because
of my ill-fitting suit dilemma I decided, despite the consensus that I should
go naked or wear a dress, to try and lose a bit of weight.
My diet for the week has been a small bowl of cornflakes and a banana for brekkie, celery as a snack, chicken and beans for lunch and a small dinner. All is good.
Yesterday, at work, a Filipino family who are tenants arrived en mass at the office, that’s 6 in total. Their English is not good but they got it across they were celebrating their youngest child's birthday and produced a piece of birthday cake for me. It was however not so much of a piece as half a birthday cake and they took great pleasure in handing this over especially the children.
I thanked them profusely and did a sort of nodding bow and a little praying symbol and anything else I thought might be Fillipinoish and they did lots of nodding and giggling but very little going away. I continued to say thanks and they continued to stand there and it soon became obvious they were waiting to see me eat the bloody thing.
I was a little dubious as for all I knew it was a sheep’s eyeball and donkey's bollock cake but I was on the spot so had to try it. Well, as Ross would say, it was like licking the face of God. It was absolutely de-flipping-licious and to their delight I ate the whole blooming lot.
Great for cross community bonding but crap for my waist line. To add insult to injury I am now just back from a big fry at the “Pit Stop” with Mama and Papa (they made me do it honest). Could end up in a dress yet........................
