Hallo!

Howzit all you lovely mofo's!

Don't really have much to say today except I have an itch on my back that I can't scratch because my stupid elbows can only bend forwards. How useful it would be if they could go backwards too, what kind on incredible talents and skill sets that would open up! Personally I wouldn't mind being able to turn my head 360 degrees like an owl without breaking my fucking neck! How cool would that be... try sneak up on me then bitch! I won't even start on being able to flap my arms and fly like a bird! That's a very realistic dream I have on a regular basis, in all kinds of surreal situations! Flap my arms and glide over the city at night, quiet and unseen. Though I just thought how impractical taking a camera with would be! But really, I would love to be able to fly!

Anyway, I have no idea where that last paragraph just came from. Boredom brain is at it again!

It's amazing how much more active and imaginative my pickled old grey matter is becoming as time progresses through this lifestyle upgrade I'm putting myself through. Evin mah shpelling has improoved! No seriously, the stronger, fitter body; all the healthy nutrients my body has been deprived of for most of it's existence; and mainly the lack of alcohol seems to be contributing to a gradual increase in my cleverness and sharpness. Even if I'm the only one who thinks so!

Yesterday I played squash twice. Once in the morning at the UCT squash courts on Health Sciences campus, and again in the evening at the gym followed by a good workout. The work paid off, I lost half a kilo in a day, putting me at 95.9kg down from 96.4 yesterday. I have to admit publically, because I have no shame, that yesterday's game at UCT was played in my smart black work shoes and long black socks. Choppy here forgot my trainers. Thank goodness nobody else was there to see it, I must have tooked like an idiot. To top it off I had to wear those same socks and shoes the rest of the day, AND I forgot to take deodorant with! Fortunately I had an emergency supply of deo back at the office!

I just had a salad for lunch, for a change. LOL. Herb lettuce, cucumbers, little tomatoes (as usual) with diced chicken breast, avo, seeds, sun dried tomato, fresh raw garlic, and delicious spicy croutons I made freshly last night, baked with olive oil and chilli. Breakfast was a very good smoothie made with a banana, 4 big strawberries, fat-free yogurt and milk, water, jungle oats, future-life, protein shake, and a tablespoon of peanut butter. This all for two of us! This healthy stuff is just way too delicious!

Talking about last night, the photo is the beautiful meal I cooked for the fandamily. Fortunately it was just enough for the servings pictured, because it was so nice that my Liezel would have uncontrollably eaten tons more had there been more. There was one extra mushroom that she nearly made love to when I slipped it onto her plate (wish I could be as lucky as the mushroom... nearly is better than nothing!).

The food was simply salmon which I bought on special with the frozen fish, otherwise we could not justify paying for salmon in this backwards country. I laid the salmon on a bed (no I didn't shag it you pervert!) of two large mushrooms per piece of fish, with garlic and lemon juice in between and mixed herbs with Ina Paarmans fish spice on top. Baked it in the oven for about 20 minutes (the fish went in still frozen solid) and grilled it the last 5 minutes. Vegetables were steamed in the electric steamer and splashed in the fishy mushroom juice in the baking dish just before serving. The fish was devine, complimented perfectly by the garlic mushrooms!

You may have noticed, or not, there is a lot of garlic in my food lately. The great thing about the garlic is it's making me fart like a tractor, constantly! Especially when I'm walking or playing squash. And I love a good release of ripe fermented flatulence! Just as well I've played squash solo the last 2 days otherwise I'd have had a noxiously unfair advantage on the court! There was something maliciously satisfying earlier today walking through the cafeteria in the Molly Blackburn hall up on UCT campus, place packed to the rafters, puffing away stealthily like a professional "windgat" leaving a trail of gagging students.

Tonight I'm not cooking, we will have health-shakes for dinner and I have a squash court booked at 7.15 after Tammy's swimming lesson.

Have a good baff, I mean day!
