Nelson is a very odd town in some respects. Not really sure if its because of religion or what but every shop seems to close at 5:15 on a weekday, they are only open from 10-2 on a saturday and a lot dont open on Sunday at all. Quite irritating, its everything, bakery's, pharmacies, web cafe's, book shops, all my favorite places really. Except the library, that open from 1-4 for some reason, i have decided i am going to splash out and spend $15 on a months membership. I think i will be here in Nelson for a while yet so i think i will make use of it. Although now that Liam is probably not coming i may move on, that just occurred to me right now, I may head Wellington and see if i can get a job there, just so i will not be stuck in the same place for too long.
Here is an interesting thing i found on the BBc page, makes a good point
"Obesity, the authors concluded, was an inevitable consequence of a society in which energy-dense and cheap foods, labour-saving devices, motorised transport and sedentary work were rife.
Dr Susan Jebb of the Medical Research Council said that in this environment, it was surprising that anyone was able to remain thin, and so the notion of obesity simply being a product of personal over-indulgence had to be abandoned for good"
They do have a point, as loath as i am to admit it. In this day and age being slim does not come naturally, you actually have to work at it, which was not the case even thirty years ago.

Paul, what's your bebo page URL. i meant to text you over the weekend, but i accidently deleted your message instead of hitting reply, and i keep forgetting to save your number so i couldn't text back. sorry. i've decided to cave to your pressure and start commenting on your bebo page coz i actually miss you.
with regards your most recent post, and the whole getting fat doing nothing comment. it's all true. in order to not get fat (as opposed to stay skinny) you have to become slightly neurotic about every item of food you buy. it's all complete junk, even the 'health' food.
anyway text me youtr bebo link or post it here. cheers big ears.
