h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

stones that is weighed myself last night after a long lon long hot bath (coconut shampoo, coconut conditioner, a Lush bath bomb (forget the name of that one), Bodyshop soft rose petal foaming bath melt, and Epsum salts, plus ordinary dove chay butter bath soap) rose body butter, and cafine/firming concentrate foam thing (no, I have no idea what that is ment to do either but it cost a fortune at full price so it must be good, right?)

lost antoher 2 Lb/1 KG - I was starting to worry the weight loss had stopped or stagnated it hasn't solidly lost 2 Lb a week, or more now, since I started counting caloris

so, it took 1 year, on 20 MG hydocortisone a day, to gain 4 stone..... 56 Lb.... taht is the weight of a big sack of spuds!

and. . . I've lost more than the weight of my ten pin bowling ball!- which is shocking, its actually sitting next to me in the carry-bag, lifting it... gosh! that only weights 12 Lb, and I've now lost 14 Lb another three stone to lose, maybe three and a half, - perhaps more, one of the first goals is really fitting back into my old Levi's, that I was still wearing until about march or April 2015, about half way through the chemotherapy.... they're 30" waist, skinny fit - the last time I tried to put them on, I coudln't get my legs in them! let alone get it on enough to try buttoning them up - yes, I am now 40 years old, and yes, these are smaller waisted jeans than I was wearing at age 16, or 17, but.... - the endocrine nurse laid down the gauntlet.... she challanged me.... (almost certainly without knowing.....) when she said I'd never fit back into them, and weight loss for steroid-dependant patients, and for hypothyroid patients, is virtually impossible. well.... nope, its actually quite easy, less in than ou, and the weight goes

Just ordered some snazzy over-expensive new lggings from the US... perhaps a little on the .... garish side... bright and cheerful might be another word - still can't find any with cartoon Bee's on which is a pity...

IN otter news I'm still ill. upset lower gastrointestinal tract, still, and now with an addition of a rather fine massive boil under my armpit (same side beryl was on, not the side Bertie was on) and yes, this is definately a boil seems to be coming to a head, so not visiting GP yet (really dont' want antibiotics) - so doubling or thereabouts my steroid dose at the moment, so I don't go into a coma... which makes me feel more ill of course, having the extra steroids, making me tired (and yes, steroids are ment to make you hyper, not hypo, but, I'm just not like other people)

Waiting for a phonecall from the US, to interview W, as my ' carer, so he can get the go-ahead to get funding for Berlin too, and then I assume we'll get details through for flights and hotels etc circuit training Weds, if I'm not feeling too ill, and gym Friday, likewise

had a long walk out yesterday, as the weather was nice, by the river again, for nearly two hours; discovered an old Saxon building, not distroyed by the reformation; part of the old abby that once was there; this looks like a storage room, for the abby's supplys, so wasn't I assume considered religious and distroyed by them at the time.... odd, neither me nor W knew it was there!; locked and closed up, so not a great deal to see, cept the walls of it etc, one of the few remains left there, by the river, near stourbridge common, of the mediavial past remains , dates from about 1000 AD .... so a few hundred years older than the modern monstrosities of the colleges.... pah, modern archutecture....

may try get into town this afternoon, after the phonecall, I need more supplys from Lush I think lifint

Overpriced US leggings with bright patterns... LuLaRoe?

Oo, you and W should show me that bit you found this summer!

Fascinating!

A little bit of googling suggests it might be part of Barnwell Priory, specifically a building called Cellarer's Chequer. Does this sound likely?

Yep, that's the building we found! not far from the lepers chapple which luckily managed to survive too - always wondered why a load of roads near that way are called things like 'Abby walk' etc no real remains of the abby left though, as far as I know

Amy; not sure if it'd be enough left there to warrent a trip to that area!; its a bit more out of the center from the colleges, and main bit of the river etc....

Think these leggins were Lotus leggings - wel, expensive compaired to most of mine that normally cost a couple of quid and last a few weeks

weighed myself tonight... before off tomorrow to the circuit training/fat club and weigh in... lost another 1 Lb
