Sugary Fat

BBC did a programme on a pair of twins on different diets.  And in short, diet doesn't affect much.  A healthy person with a low sugar diet maybe be worse than normal sugar diet.

Because 'sugary fat' tastes remarkably good, we cann't stop ourselves!

Pricked

This year's medical is underway.  When I had my medical yesterday, the nurse pricked me twice and still could not find my vein.  This morning, I popped in to see if the nurse could find it, but to no avail.  Just when she finished all the medicals, we had one last try.  She said Paul had the same problem, so we bathed my arm in warm water, and she found my vein and took some blood.
Later I spoke with Paul, I feel less sorry about myself; the nurse pricked Paul's right arm three times and left arm twice before bathing him arm and found his vein.
Maybe I will do some weightlifting to pop out the vein next January in anticipation of the blood test.

Knaresborough

My swimming ticket allows me to use different pool in the areas.  Since Starbeck pool is often unavailable, I went to Knaresborough.

According to the map, it was only 2 miles away.  I remember Knaresborough being very hilly, so I was a bit skeptical about the journey.  So I paddled on, the majority of the journey is a mild climb or descent, but the last 0.5 mile, it was a steep hill.  I tried to cycle up the hill, but my gear slipped, so I pushed most of the way up.  On the way back, after the first steep descent, it was a mild climb, nearly all the way.

Well, Knaresborough Pool is nice, albeit I nearly drown, but I am not going to cycle there again!  I would rather walk!

Micromanaging vs. Autopiloting Your Money

Micromanaging vs. Autopiloting Your Money is always the question in mind.  After much debate, I think micromanaging often take more effort than its worth.

Postmarks

I was flipping through my post, and I realized, the post these days do not have clear postmarks.  It is really not helpful.

Fxxking Dog(s)

I was having a rotten day, when I got a message saying my board games were destroyed.  Verity could not confirm the extend of the damage, but said the crime scene had not been cleaned up, and I could survey the damage when I arrive.

So on my way to Verity's, there were loads of dog excrement, and me being in a foul mood, was a bit absent minded stepped into one.

When I got in the house, it was just about how I expected it.

I picked up my scrabble, now with a missing corner, and my Rivals.  I also picked up her Munchins, and I left Verity's with the confetti-ed boxes.

Horrible creatures!

Fake Cream

David, Yosi and I were eating at the Arndale Market's food court.  Since I have already eaten in Leeds, I opted for some cake and coffee instead, while David and Yosi had some Greek food.

The food in the food court was very affordable, and mostly because they were mediocre.  David's meze and felafel were not of the best quality.  My coffee was okay, but the cake were quite horrible.  I had not had fake cream for a while, and this was one of the worst.  The fake cream tasted so artificial, like those in a long-life packaged cake.

I must choose my cake carefully in the future.
