Good coffee and baby names

We started this morning at 8:00am with some freshly ground Malawi bean coffee from Dunn Brothers. We then filled up the thermos, stopped at Tesco for some sandwiches, fruit and granola bars, and headed south to St. Abbs Head for a 2 hour hike.

It's day 14 with no beer and cigarettes -- holding out nicely, but seeing no obvious weight loss just yet. I was never very good at the patience thing.

Big Brother is over - thank god, I was sick of pretending not to be addicted to it. Yeah Anthony - the little hottie won. (the picture)And the nerd Eugene still got half the prize money - what a great compromise.



I finished Rule of Four, finally. Started strong faded fast, don't waste your time. I started reading Colossus: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire (Fergusson). Thirty pages in, and I'm digging it.

My sister emailed me that she is having a girl!! I am very excited for you - only a bit sad that I won't be there right away when she is born, but I'll see her before her first birthday. She asked for some name suggestions.... hmmm. I like Lila, or Violet, or Victoria or Tristan. Eve is nice. Something a little different like Maisy perhaps? I also like Olivia, Claire or Marissa. I'll pass them along to her.
