Wibble wobble

Apparently my visa has arrived. I haven’t seen it yet as it’s gone to my parents house, but I am reliably informed that: “That photo is appalling! I told you to stretch your neck out so we couldn’t see all your chins”*

In a not unrelated note, I was greeted on my arrival in Bristol on Monday with a squeezing of the upper arm between finger and thumb and the words “Wow! You’re bigger!”. This wasn’t even by a family member so, as I haven’t been for a while, I’m off to set a new Fat Bird Benchmark.

Update: FBB over 1.2 miles, non-stop, with hills = 15mins dead. Is it a bad sign that halfway round I lost the feeling in both my feet and that for the last third I was running on pins and needles? Oh well, at least my knee doesn’t hurt!

*The only way I could stretch my neck out enough to hide all my chins would be with those brass neck ring things some cultures in Africa use. I pointed it out at the time but apparently that falls under “not trying hard enough”.

About Nell

I am a researcher in bionanotechnology currently living and working in Tokyo. I moved out here nearly three years ago, against my better judgement but in search of adventure. It has certainly been an adventure and not one I would have missed for the world. I am trying to retrain as a designer and you may see the odd example of my work appear here as I progress. I also indulge in opinionated rambling.

    Its good that Im making people run without even being there! I havent actually jogged for ages…. but will do now you’ve motivated to get off my fat American arse! You know Ive been eating American-sized portions…. cooked salmon and cous-cous recently… judged the portions by eye and after finishing it ALL, worked out that I had 3 servings of fish and 4 servings of cous-cous!

    Yep, lardy-land here I come!
