August 2nd

Last night's visit to Jogblog's wasn't quite such a dietary disaster as it might have been, for not only did we have fried stuff (zero calories remember) and only one slice of pizza each, Jogblog introduced me to the "Instant drop" dieting technique. Now you might be forgiven for thinking that the instant drop is something to do with a sudden and dramatic loss of weight, but actually it's to do with dropping food onto the floor when you're taking it out of the oven and therefore not actually serving it to your house guest. It probably saved us both about 500 calories :-)

Still - the other pizza was jolly nice, as was the garlic bread, and I even got to hone my skills as an Olympic garlic crusher. I might combine this with parmesan shaving and onion chopping to make an unusual pizza based triathlon event. Jogblog is rumoured to be in training for throwing the discus, and was practising last night with the pizza ;-)

Here's the bird poo piccie from yesterday - it was even worse from the other side as well - ruddy birds!
