What with the phone and the camera, I think I’ll have enough Canberra pix to last me through the next several weeks. I suspect Japan will yield enough to last several years.

I am still (notionally) doing 5:2, though I have been stretching it to probably 600-700 calories rather than 500 as part of “maintenance”. 

I’m pretty happy with how I look and the size I am now. What I am not happy with however is the ridiculous excessive snacking on non-fast evenings, the increased wine consumption and the extremely limited exercise I’m doing. This will not end well and I need to do something about it. 

Like, starting tomorrow. 

There is entropy on a lot of fronts in my life and I don’t care for it at all.

canberra: i’m not entirely sure why this sign delighted me so much

More changes are afoot at SML. In the next week Vincenzo, my most excellent long-time minion, will be joining Knut’s team to focus exclusively on ice-skating. 

Knut will be taking over my ice-skating function entirely, leaving me with the brain-surgery and shearing components – as well as the newly created fighter-pilot role.

After over 11 years on the ice, I am so thrilled to be never having to put the skates on again (though of course will do the mentor thing when required).

It will also be excellent for Vincenzo (though Knut is universally acknowledged to be a dreadful manager). When even consultants start using carolbaby-and-vincenzo as a gestalt entity (“you’ve got a great ice-skating system in the business already, otherwise known as carolbaby-and-vincenzo”), you know it is time to shake things up. 

I’m pretty delighted with this outcome, I was incredibly over-stretched and this will make things infinitely more manageable. My mind boggles at how much influence I have had lately on divisional structure and direction – it is very satisfying, but what? You’re listening to me?
