Weight Loss and Song...
Have lost 11 lbs in the last 2 1/2 weeks. Very pleased.
New Song lyrics are coming on. See what you think...
You're the antonym of me
My perfect opposite
For Lord; You are perfection,
While I am far from it
Still You invite me into your throne room
You bid me touch the hem of your cloak
And You welcome me in with a smile on your face
And your eyes cannot hide your delight
And I'll stay in your arms til the end of all time
And my heart is refilled with your life
As you call me yours
You call me yours
You're the piercing daylight
breaking through my clouds
You are always with me
Though no one is around
And You invite me into your presence
You bid me touch the wounds in your hands
And You welcome me in with a smile on your face
And your eyes cannot hide your delight
And I'll stay in your arms til the end of all time
And my heart is refilled with your life
As you call me yours
You call me yours
(Middle 8 - still needs some lyrics...)
Anyhow, it's late. Time for bed...

New song and new MOT...
I've started writing a new song, which is great as it's been several weeks since I've been inspired to write.
I'll keep this updated with its progress...
Anyhow, the car went in for an MOT today. There I was fearing the worst, thinking that at best I'd be shelling out at least £400 for it to pass and at worst that I would be scrapping the car due to the prohibitive cost of the work required...
Becky took the car in in the morning, while I was asleep (I did manage to sleep this morning, coming off nights, although the worry about the car did keep me up for an extra 30 seconds or so...) I then got the phone call I was dreading at about 2.30 pm. "Hi, it's richard, you're car's ready." said the mechanic. "Thanks" I said, nonchalantly, trying to disguise the buttrerflies in my stomach as fear gripped me with its iron claw. He told me the price. "£150? That's not bad." "No" he replied "£115"
I practically floated to the garage!
So that's that for another year. The MOT is all paid for, only the tax to come out now...
I thank God for blessing us with Richard Knight, the mechanic who didn't rip us off!

Catchup
I've not been on here for a while... I should really start writing this again... (I've eschewed Facebook due to the boredom factor of having to reject all these "applications" which serve no purpose other than to send me emails telling me that someone else has "done something to me"...)
Anyhow, since last post, I went home to my parents for Christmas, and despite my sister telling my parents that she would be home on Boxing day at 4 pm to open presents etc, she never turned up. I've not seen or heard from her since.
I have put on a considerable amount of weight over christmas and for the past 2 weeks or so have been working hard to rid myseld of my "festive plumpness" (as one inspector at work so eloquently put it - right after mentioning my "third chin"...)
In the last 12 days I have lost 9lbs and hope to lose more by Sunday morning (my weigh in time).
I am encouraged by Mark's progress (http://mvr2302.blogspot.com) and may have to borrow his Michael Winner book... I was given Gillian McKeith's book, "You are what you eat" for christmas, but unfortunately I find it very hard to follow her diet instructions. She calls it the "Abundant eating plan" but yet somehow I have to eat a load of uncooked vegetables, random tropical berries, which for some reason aren't for sale outside of health stores (acai berries anyone?!?!?) and no red meat... I like meat. I like vegetables (cooked. Ever tried raw broccoli?) So I've taken some tips and have tried to include more fruit in my diet, but apart from that have returned to my chicken, fish, vegetables and eggs diet (where those are the main components of what I eat, give or take a few glasses of milk, organic sugar free peanut butter and other sources of protein and fats such as linseed and Hemp Protein...)
I've started going to the gym again too.
Anyhow, I'll keep you updated with my progress...
Must go now, breakfast calls.
