When I turned 35, I weighed almost 16 stone. It hadn’t really occurred to me just how much I weighed. It seems to be I attained a steady state of 15 stone something about a decade before that and nothing changed. I guess that means that while I weighed a lot, I didn’t eat so…

What? White Rabbit, you wonder? Did he get another pet? No – he didn’t get another pet. That’s the provisional title of my Game Chef effort, which almost definitely won’t get completed by the 19/20th September deadline.
