Arguments

The upside of having an argument is the post blitz relief........thank £#<$ that's over. I have a real problem in that I'm a very early riser which means that I get up in the morning and have a few hours to sit and worry about that day's reaction. The truth is that I've had a torrid few days but trying to keep a positive attitude at least I have managed to reduce my body fat by a few degrees. I never thought I'd get rid of that last little bulge at the bottom of the abdomen. For those who are wondering how to do it then take a tip from me, just pass a few days worried sick, in perpetual torment, hardly sleeping or eating and hey presto! You'll be there.

Hopefully after overcoming a potentially critical argument in a relationship you can come out of the other side so much stronger for the experience. They say that you find your good friends in a storm and I've managed to do so I think. Luckily, I married one of them a few weeks ago. I find that marriage is so much more rewarding when you absolutely adore your wife. Hopefully I'll be able to get to Bogotá for my visa next week all things going well. Once again this is down to good friends in a storm.

I also have to praise my family here in Colombia. They have been incredibly supportive, in a manner which I don't think you would find in the UK. I have had my moments here though when I would have liked support UK style. I hardly ever drink here but there have been moments when I could have sold my soul for a proper pint. At the moment what started as another day of trial and tribulation looks like finishing brilliantly. We made up this afternoon and the relief for me was incredible, oddly I suddenly felt really tired. I popped to bed to relax for a few moments but fell asleep for four hours. I haven't been doing that at night!
