Weigh in last night and not the result I wanted, I put a pound on. I had a feeling I might have put on but was hoping that I would of maintained, it just was not a good week for me last week, too much eating the wrong foods and not enough restraint.

Going to try hard this week to keep to the straight and narrow, I want to hit the 3 stone marker before I get into December and the only way to do that is to be good and eat the correct foods. I wanted to go for a bike ride tonight but 35mph winds and horizontal rain is not my idea on fun let alone exercise. Will keep my eye on the weather and try to escape another night this week. Weekend weather is not looking great so it is more important that I get the eating bit right.

If anybody has any spare will power please send it my way…………….

So the big lane change over on the A338 as mentioned in an earlier post happen in the early hours of Monday morning (it was in place when I went through at 5:45am), I am glad I went through early it was a total mess and it was a bigger mess in the evening rush hour. The tailbacks were so long they were blocking exit and access to roundabout on surrounding roads and the whole area became a large gridlocked car park.

Tonight on the local radio station Wave105 a local lady phoned in to the station, she had been stuck in the Bournemouth hospital car park (which is about a quarter of a mile to the east of the A338) since 3:30pm, the time she was on the radio was 5:00pm. The presenter asked on the radio that if anybody else was also stuck in the car park and was also listening to the program to give a blast on there car horn, what followed can only be called a crescendo of honking car horns.

I and I guess the thousands of other motorists who have been caught up in the farce called road works can only hope that the Dorset County council get there act together for the ramainder of these road works and when the work starts for real in the autum of 2010.

I will make one correction to my previous post on the matter bureaucratic manure, I said it was local authority, when it is actually the Dorset County Council who are in charge of this work.

I would assume that the County council did speak to the local council about this work rather than just imposing it on them but hey who knows……………..
