Goals were mainly achieved, with less weight loss than hoped. I've also hurt my foot, so the next running goal will also be modest. 3lbs/a consistent 38 minutes will be fine. Plus, I want to raise about 50 quid through EBay so I can buy a book. I seem to be in a phase of steadily funnelling stuff out of my life at the moment, so I might as well make good use of it.

Benner has a cold. Poor little mite. All runny nose, streaming eyes and persistent grizzling :/

The garden is going well. Tis the time of year for cut-price plants, so I have more to plant than I have time for. Things to do, so that's it...

For crying out loud

I am sick to the back teeth of the neighbour's cat shitting in my garden. I know that's what cats do, and I know that my cat probably does it to someone else, but how many craps a day does a small moggie need? I thought at first that it was my direct neighbour's cat, but now I've seen it's the one from two doors along. Fucking figures - they don't give a shit about their kids, who just sit outside swearing, burning things and trying to break our greenhouse windows. To be honest, I don't actually blame them, as their other choice of entertainment seems to be listening to their whiney, child-man dad abusing their mum in yet another of their drink fuelled rows. Occasionally he breaks off that to threaten them with grievous bodily harm if they break my windows again.

I might just give them boomerangs with double sided sticky tape on so they put themselves out of their misery next time they break my glass.

So if they can't be arsed with their kids, why would they bother looking after their pet properly? Their cat meows pretty much 24/7 outside a locked back door. I mean, why even fucking bother to have a pet if you just lock it outside so it can crap all over everyone else's garden all the time.

And completely unrelated, why does all diet information tell you to cut out sugar in your hot drinks? It's only 16 calories a spoonful. If I have five hot drinks a day, which is going it even by my standards, then in a month I might lose a pound. If I didn't go completely mad at the sense of tiny pointless deprivation and eat six giant pizzas to make up for it.

New diet news - eat well, but moderately and healthily; exercise regularly and happily; learn to love yourself better.
