The Friday Weigh-in

This week I am weighing in at below 79kg so things are still moving in the right direction. When I met my wife in 2000 I was 69kg though so you have to put things into perspective. She says that I was too thin then but I loved that David Bowie, Brett Anderson skinniness and I wore tight fitting clothes to accentuate the look. I don't think that I'll ever be quite that thin again though.
I purchased a new mobile phone, a Sony Ericsson W350i Electric Black , which was going for a great price. I wanted an MP3 player so that I could rip my languages CDs and play them back easily on the move. It turns out that the best value was to buy a phone so now I have a Walkman phone with a cool radio, a brilliant MP3 player, a camera with video and a phone too. For the price you just have to smile. How do companies actually make money any more?
Anyway my Walkman will come in very handy on the trip to Japan which is all booked. I am really getting into the Japanese. Right now though I am also getting addicted to my wife's Polish soap operas "M jak miłość" ("L as in Love") and "Barwy Szczęścia" ("The Colours of Happiness"). Polish soap operas are quite aspirational so it is a case of enjoying escapist fantasies rather than the Schadenfreude one might experience watching Eastenders.
Next week I am home for the week with Luna and Daisy so it will be an action packed week that they are never going to forget including their first trip to the cinema and plenty of eats and treats.
