how was your weekend? as you will see, if you're interested, that ant won the blogging war. i was very disappointed not to be mentioned for my maturity in the way i gracefully and humbly stepped back from the frontline but alas, it was not to be.

we had such a busy weekend and managed to eat all our meals at other people's houses! this week i will have my first proper delivery of organic veg which is very exciting - lots of fresh and seasonal veg.

although today has been very intense so far, i did really enjoy a 2 hour seminar that i was in. the students had to do a little test and i am going to put a couple of the questions up for you:

1. A child was run over in the street. His father went with him to the hospital in the ambulance. He was rushed to the operating theatre but once there, the surgeon looked down and said

I cannot operate on this child - he is my son."

Explain

2. 645 people are employed in the Royal Household. How many people with a skin colour other than white work in Buckingham Palace?

by 2pm today i had drunk a litre and a half of water - this is quite astounding because by the time i leave for home at the end of the day i will have drunk a further 0.75litre of water and then tonight i expect i will drink further water which means i may actually break my own record of the largest amount of water to drink in a day without excessive heat conditions or partaking in exercise.

last night i slept really well...
