finished my first french novel on the train to york. #

Internet access regained!! #

Slim-Fast regained. Feel thinner, lighter and more healthy. About 3/4 pounds lost. #

Just been to Plonkers, had a lovely meal with Sarah Scott, Tom Fisher and Paul Charnock. #

"Men seldom make passes, to girls who wear glasses", Dorothy Parker #quote #

Had my hair cut in town. Bought a pasty for tea.. a slimfaster needs a break! #

Not looking forward to tomorrow – essay preparation day in the library. #

Freshly Slim-fasted and ready for a long day of study ahead. #

Done two hours of work in the library. My knowledge of baroque portraiture has increased considerably. #

Amadeus is a brilliant film! #

Nabokov's "Lolita" – genius! #

Starting the Slim-Fast diet tomorrow. Will tweet with my progress lol. #

Had my first slim-fast breakfast. Two hours later I am surprisingly full. So far so good. Tasted good too. #

Dreamweaver CS5 is a big improvement since I last used it. Tidy code. CSS driven. Well done Adobe. #

Coalition axes UK Film Council. I'm in tears. #

Stormy warmer: Ginger, lemon juice, hot water and a spoonful of damson jam. Wait for the jam to dissolve. Lovely. #

Anyone know the number of Zest Indian near the Hunter? I can't find it anywhere. #

Been to Zest. Medicore personified. #

English translations of Baudelaire = terrible. They are changing meaning for rhyme! #

Re-learning/learning French is going well! #

Inception is a fantastic film! #

BBC 4 – Die Meistersinger, Wagner is currently on! #

Watched The Lady from Shanghai and Touch of Evil. Both great films. #

Nabokov's "Lolita" audiobook is wonderful – Irons is a great narrator. #
