We are having some lovely weather this week.
Sure the nights are cold and there is quite a sharp frost in the mornings but it just makes the air nice and crisp.
The rest of the days have been lovely and sunny. It is almost as if spring is here.
A bit different for Gorgeous who is in Malaysia on business where the temp is over 30 degrees C.
Actually i think the bulbs are a bit confused as they are quite advanced for the time of year.
I'm being a typical Englishman here by talking about the weather.
It isn't surprising really that we are renowned for this as we do have quite a lot of rapid changes in the weather albeit normally not too severe when compared with other places.
Let's have a joke:- An expectant father rings the hospital to see how his wife is getting on. Unfortunately he is connected to a cricket match commentary box. "How's it going" asks the man."Great" is the reply "We've got four out and hope to have the rest out before tea. The last one was a duck"

The new Endobarrier
This new Endobarrier sounds interesting.
It is a plastic tube which is inserted down the throat and through the stomach and tricks the patient's body into feeling full.
This is supposed to be very useful for those with type 2 Diabetes as it causes the gut to release a hormone which increases the body's use of insulin and lowers blood sugar levels.
On tests it has been found to help patients lose up to a fifth of their body weight.
Call me a cynic but you could probably lock up the patient and ensure that they had good excercise and ate the right foods in the correct quantities! Would be just as successful but hey would not conform to their human rights!
Joke for today:- Did you hear about the gypsy who won the lottery? He got paid in travellers cheques.
On this day:- 1st January
Every year there are celebrations!
In 1959 Castro toppled Cuban dictator
In 44BC Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calender
