The guy who showed interest in walking with the charity took the advice and went out for five miles with friends the following day. I hope he keeps it up. He also showed a keen interest in signing-up as a guide, which is brilliant!

I had a very quiet, relaxing weekend. I dossed on the computer for most of it, slept six extra hours over Saturday and Sunday, and had a couple beers on Sunday. Nice!

I'm keeping quite a tidy house. I've stopped letting dishes pile-up on the counter - a bad habit that creeps in when there's noone there to see - and keeping things generally in good order.

Oh! I almost forgot this, but it's definitely worth recording. I went to the doctor last week and he gave me the results of a Fasting Blood Glucose blood test I had a few weeks ago... And I don't have diabetes! I didn't think I did, but the doctor wanted to check because I'd had itchy arms previously. I'd put this down to an allergic reaction to grass pollen while out walking - I've had hayfever for the first time this year - and some strong anti-histamines made it go away. Anyway, it's nice to know I don't have diabetes!
