However, the nasty diarrhoea, bloating, nausea and pain have gone, as has the hideous burping. I've lost 4 kilos, and feel much healthier.

On another good note, whilst DD is away on a school trip to Noumea next week, OH has booked us a couple of nights in Canberra, so although I'm just chilling here at Easter, I'll be doing something nice next weekend. Yippee!

We are off to see Eddie today, tomorrow I think I am taking the dog to the pet shop for a bath

Sunday my friend is coming over to stay so we shall take the dogs out for a walk, spend time with my parrot and on Monday Mr PP is going a nice meal so that is it for me.

Then Tuesday it is off to tell my agency that this 'perfect long term assignment' is really really not me at all, in fact there is nothing perfect about it. And that feeling alone is quite liberating.

Moving a garden bed this morning then off for a bike ride with the old man. Tomorrow and Sunday I'm tiling the hall and kids activity area then Monday I have a paper to write for uni.

This month is an absolute write off for us. We have something in our calendar just about every day. Bring on July when things slow down for me.

I've just finished the book Wheat Belly and have recently cut wheat entirely from the meals for a bit ... The weight is falling off.

It's worth a read, scary stuff wheat (the frankenweat we seem to have engineered that is).

Fancy "not being able to breathe" being used as an excuse for not coming for coffee!

Like I said DV, you're turning into a foodie revolutionary. I have to catch up with your reading list

Did you read Pollan and Planck yet?

For us, Easter, not doing much. Not going anywhere. Nice actually.
