    Ok this morning whilst Wilson is in his favourite place I shall introduce his Dog Sitter. Neice to the local dog whisperer. They have 24 dogs and about the same number of cats. But I dont think Wilson is up for joining a pack. He likes one to one adoration. I am boarding him out for 2 nights whilst I go out to play in the desert. God help me…

    • I cant reply in usual place. So I will try here.


      @scorpio
      yeah your guru is absolutely right. Calories in calories out. So simple but those of us weight challenged do make hard work of it. It must be a constant battle with enforced inactivity. Mainly to stay sane I would imagine. You are very generous with your praise, thankyou. But its guys …

      • Scorpio, I am happy that you like the site, and everybody has a story and a battle to fight so you may just be the person with the message that resonates with someone on any given day. Not to be contradictory, but eating can be much more complicated than we think, so don’t blame yourself . Some people have all kinds of physical and…

      • Well Im disappointed to report Dr Li has let me down. Initially he was my health food guru. And he has still changed my life 1 stone off and 5 inches of belly fat later. (In 5 months). But he has joined the click bait, cash cow of sensational videos. Which 5 foods will kill you/save you from every ill. Also so much contradiction and terrible…

          Sorry to hear about this but there’s a huge plus that you’ve pointed out too, which you’re responsible for achieving and that’s what’s important. You know what’s working for you and if continue with that you’ll succeed. Keep up the good work 👍

            My own special guru summed up an unbeatable diet plan in 4 words – Eat less move more ! He’s not wrong. 76 years young 6’5″ and NO excess body weight. That’s what 2 very long daily dog walks, 2 or 3 weekly visits to the gym and a nutritious low fat diet does for you ! The theory is simple, following it through is NOT. You have done remarkably…

        • My latest read. Have always loved Marian Keyes. Its chick lit but so well written. Reminds me of Maeve Binchey the way she weaves characters from previous books. I dont think this is one of her best but still a good read. I believe her Walsh family saga is about to be televised. If well cast it could be fantastic. So many books. It could…

        • Well as usual my life is constantly changing. Currently Ray is back in the UK and I am home alone here in Tunisia. Its taken me a few days to get used to it. I feel surprisingly safe wandering around alone. Im busy getting ready for a good friend to visit. That means clearing the forecabin which is our storage/dump everything space. So a…

Hope you will take some photo’s of…

            • 6 friends visited us today. They are 3 other livaboard couples who we have met in various countries over the last few years. They are moored in another Marina in Tunisia for the winter and hired a car to drive over and see us. Lovely day and our first entertaining on board for this season. All Americans.
