Today is a good day.

After last week - full of cold I feel particularly good today. First, I have lost a stone now in 7 weeks which I am really pleased about. Second, actually getting a cold and getting over it inside a week is a real achievement for me - they used to really lay me low for much longer - I hope that this is a reflection of my efforts to lead a healthier lifestyle. Third, I had a pretty good weekend - including a favourite activity - i.e. going to see some live music, Marie and I went out to see The Illegal Eagles with Robin and Jean - great fun. And finally, today, after a week at home I am in London for a couple of days on business and having a very useful and productive time.
