Today I am 182lbs or 13 stone exactly. "Overweight" as I have been for too many years. If I lose any amount now I'll be officially "Normal"

45mins in the pool, 20 in the sauna, 20 in the jacuzzi. Just approaching the level of relaxation I was at before meeting mum this morning.

Heading down to the estuary with dad's dingy & outboard. Going on a "Pirate adventure" with my two eldest.

Last train home from London, alone, too many beers, why oh why the kebab. To be in bed right now would be amazing.

Busy day, tired. Now heading into London in torrential rain. It'll be worth it for the rare opportunity to have a few beers with my crew.

The ashes have barely cooled & the liberals are out in force criticising harsh sentencing & tough policing http://bit.ly/n7zd1N I feel sick.

Warren Buffett is my hero http://ping.fm/01URI

On Friday we did something quite remarkable (for us). Managed to find, decide and book a holiday in Cornwall within a 24 hour period! Yay!

This song is one of my favourites of all time, the homemade music video works well http://ping.fm/8Bpp8

London riots are now outside of the m25 and into Hertfordshire, I am officially staying awake for the duration.

Alan McCabe, pub manager, is my new hero. Voice of reason. #londonriots

You know when you play sim city, get bored, so burn it all, that is what London must look like from above right now http://t.co/q49wsQz

Oh God no! Not "claire's accessories", please spare us that, London rioters. Someone tell the chavs that they don't sell iPhones!

Can't help but think that the BBC reports telling everyone about the lack of police prescence *may* be making things worse.

This map seems more accurate, based on news reports and not social media bullplop http://bit.ly/omu1Bs #londonriots

Interesting google map of the london rioting, very frightening events http://t.co/ricXMF6 #Londonriots

Loading the shotgun

I saw a display about this in the London Science Museum, quite surprising. 13'000 satellites! http://ping.fm/OQvnF

Holy cow! This is momentous! Running water found on mars!! http://ping.fm/Gv08N

Quote of the day - "Can't wait to see that new Smurf movie!" - Nobody.

Sounds like someone told the government about TOR. I wonder how much money they wasted on this? Who made this decision? http://bit.ly/nlFZPg

Dear Yellow Pages, I wonder have you heard of this great invention "google". It would save me putting your publication directly in recycling

Couple of days off. Taking the boys to see Cars 2 today. My wife is going back to art school to learn the things she missed last time.
