In any case, our quest to get us over the Irish Sea has not advanced one bit. My quest for a slimmer body is, but not without moaning. I did my two weeks of Atkins induction and apart from feeling rather brilliant I hated every moment of it, not being a great fan of meat and eggs. Any food I had I had to force down my throat. Some more carbs were clearly in order, and I'm now a much happier bunny, able to eat my natural yogurt and my almonds and my strawberries.

Other than all that, I've got a green new coat, there's a definite feeling of spring around and I'm still painting, so not much to whinge about, really.
