The big problem I had this month was a week long training course in Maidenhead, way too much 'Full English', Cooked Lunch, Bar Snacks and Liquid Refreshment!! I actually gained 5 lbs in just one week!!! I have also not been getting to the Gym as regularly as normal.

Since then, I have managed to go to the Gym a little more often - still not back at full weights etc., but getting stronger, and as a result have lost most of the 'Maidenhead' weight. I really need to work a bit harder over the next few weeks to get back on track, as it looks like I may have another week of training coming up next month :-(

Great Day Out

Man, I am getting old...

Today we went to the BBC Gardeners World show at the NEC, and had a really great day... The weather was hot and sunny (27C), and I managed to buy some interesting Princess Lillies, some Fuscias (Hanging and bush) and a bunch of british Strawberry plants. Then Alex won a pack of 15 Busy Lizzies, and three Petunia's during an B&Q demonstration...

Once we got back, we planted everything up (Except Alex's Lillies, we need a large container to plant them up in, so that is a job for tommorow)

Diet Coke explodes with, um, flavor?

You may have heard about the geysers that geeks are creating by dropping Mentos mints into 2-liter bottles of Diet Coke. But have you actually seen the videos? Do you have any idea how the experiment actually works?NPR's been all over this story in the past few days but no offense, guys hearing about it on the radio leaves something to be desired. Hop on over and see for yourself how far 101 Coke bottles can shoot.
