Had a good day today – we went to the Titanic museum, then did a black cab tour of Belfast, then had a great steak. This evening it was back to ice hockey and we beat the Giants again to go 7 points clear at the top.

A comeback
We flew to Belfast today to watch the Devils play our main title rivals the Giants. We were awful for the first two periods and were 3-0 down. Then we destroyed them in the the 3rd period to win 4-3. It felt like a cup win and everyone was in a state of shock, but what a night
Fatboy slim(mer)
I finally got some functioning scales at the end of Nov and found I’d gone up to 14st. I mean who knew that eating a family bar of chocolate every night & not exercising could lead to weight gain?
So I decided to take action and went on a fairly simple eating regime (tea for breakfast, smoothie for lunch, normal dinner plus cut out the snacks). I’d like to pretend it was some Homeric struggle but, combined with marathon training it was okay.
I also used this app to track foods and weight loss & today I reached the target weight I’d set myself of 12st. Not exactly skinny but lighter than I’ve been for 20 years probably.
Now, bring the pies!
Choices
Some contrasting vinyl choices
The book of the film
I’ve bored people before about how much I like the movie Jaws. I hadn’t read the novel and someone got me this for my birthday. It’s definitely a case of the film being better than the book, but it’s interesting to read to discern the decisions they made to transform it into a great movie.
London bound
Up to London and back today for a day’s training. I can claim it back but paying £232 for a day return to London hurts
Perfect (hockey) weekend
It was pretty much the perfect weekend for the Devils. We won away easily last night in Coventry, then tonight beat the Panthers comfortably. On top of a 4 point weekend for us our main title rivals Sheffield lost last night, and Giants tonight, leaving us 3 points clear at the top. Whisper it, but the title just might be possible
Swansea beach
Daughter was playing hockey against Swansea Uni team today. The beach front at Swansea is lovely
Weekend
It’s been a busy week when I’ve felt overwhelmed by competing, urgent priorities at times. I’ll have to carry it in to the weekend too (break out the violins). But for now – gin & some Miles
The return of the Bruno
Bruno has been in kennels for 3 days – he’s got a run of kennel stays coming up till April. He doesn’t mind them but sticks to me when I pick him up
