Some updates…
Well, on the weight loss, I appear stalled. I only eat twice a day and avoid Carbs. Mainly salads with some kind of meat or bacon and eggs is my diet. There have been a lot of benefits but weight loss is either painfully slow or simply no longer occurring as my weight seems to oscillate around 103kg. Now, thats a lot less than where I was but my goal of 95 appears increasingly far away. Perhaps I need to eat even less? I don’t know but anyway - not going back to my old ways.
Dating - no dates, no luck and a trail of time wasters. Well, largely anyway. I am on Bumble these days and I get plenty of matches but in almost every case, the lady concerned is NOT anywhere near me. I have discovered that many say they are in Prague and it turns out they were JUST VISITING! The last one who pulled this stunt got dropped and blocked immediately.
Ladies - what is the point in stating your location is the place you are visiting? It’s a bloody lie and can either only be fishing for validation or you are looking for a one night stand. Neither makes you very attractive.
However, I have no been talking every day for a month to a delightful Thai lady who lives in Bangkok. Whether we ever meet is another matter but I am enjoying our conversations. Perhaps there is a glimmer there?
I am just finishing a new book. This one I think has a lot of legs and gets into all the weirdness in he natural world as well as builds on my thoughts on the paranormal. Tentatively titled Unveiling Liminal Worlds and the Apocalypse. I hope to get it out in August and am excited by how it will go.
And now - my final announcement. On Wednesday I drive to Croatia for a break with my daughter and her friend - back the 20th. I am taking a laptop so there is a change of one or two substacks but…. I really do need a break so please do bear with me. Full service will be resumed on the 21st hopefully with some Croatian material to boot.
See ya on the 21st.
Have a good time in Croatia. The Thai bird will be resource shopping as most women are. I remember an old lad (70s) back in 2000 who cleaned the CAD office at Mars and he'd come back to the UK for the summer to ear n enough to support his younger Thai wife and extended family!
I find that even though you can drop carbs and hit protein these are calorie dense and can still add timber. I honeymooned in Croatia or Yugoslavia as it was on the coast north of Pula. I loved the feel of the country and reflecting back on it, it was 'Austria' with a beach! The meat & cheese breakfast and lovely people. Have a good break.
I love Croatia, absolutely fabulous. Enjoy your trip, Grüß Gott.
