Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life…
For the second annual Blogger’s silly week.
I received an email with some pictures of 1930’s ads and this was one of them. The original was headed with “EAT! EAT! EAT! & ALWAYS STAY THIN!”
Yuk springs to mind and I think I will stick with a more healthy method of losing weight.
There is a really gross comments section here, if you a brave enough to look!

I have been well intentioned with trying to lose weight for more than a couple of years. My weight has stayed much the same despite fluctuating up and down a few pounds here and there. It probably isn’t a good idea to decide to lose weight when life itself is a bit up and down due to circumstances beyond your control.
Inspired by an article in the latest (September) issue of the Weight Watchers magazine I have now drawn a line in the sand (or is that a star on the graph?) and I am determined to start again properly.
I logged onto the Weight Watchers on-line tools so that I could use the graph there to track my weight. It wasn’t quite as simple as that because I had forgotten my user name and password. I got my user name sent to my email address but when I reset my password it didn’t recognise the user name. After a while it decided to ask me one of those memorable questions which happened to be ‘what is your fathers name’, which wasn’t entirely welcome, though it did however decide to send me a password reset so I was able to get into the site.
I have set myself a target of losing on average 1lb a week before the end of October, which means that if I keep on track I will have lost ‘one stone’. Even if I don’t manage that, as long as there is a downward trend I will be happy. I will keep you updated along the way.
Now all I need is for those people who keep wafting, biscuits, cakes and peanuts under my nose to stop!!!

A public bar rather lacking in members of the public!

By the looks of that strange light, it seems that both the man and the bus were beamed up to who knows where…

For the second annual Blogger’s silly week.
After my recent post, ‘Photographing Pigeons in the Park‘, James wanted to know if I had been loitering on the park bench. These photos reveal the awful truth of the matter…
If you look closely you can see it is the pigeons that were loitering. In the second picture I have zoomed in so you can see them plotting on the bench!
It looks like Sean was right to raise concerns about about Andrew (see previous comments section). But it is even worse than we feared because it looks like the pigeons are in collaboration with the squirrels so who knows what can happen next.
There is a post on Andrew’s Blog today, but is it really Andrew?!?!? It seems to be him but…
PS: For those of you who are awaiting a more serious post from me, I think there may be one or two in my head ready to escape

For the second annual Blogger’s silly week.
I
Calico Pie,
The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
And they sang ‘Tilly-loo!’
Till away they flew,–
And they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!II
Calico Jam,
The little Fish swam,
Over the syllabub sea,
He took off his hat,
To the Sole and the Sprat,
And the Willeby-Wat,–
But he never came back to me!
He never came back!
He never came back!
He never came back to meIII
Calico Ban,
The little Mice ran,
To be ready in time for tea,
Flippity flup,
They drank it all up,
And danced in the cup,–
But they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!IV
Calico Drum,
The Grasshoppers come,
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
Over the ground,
Around and around,
With a hop and a bound,–
But they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!
