I'm sure I've lost something.

Before you get too worried, it's nothing important. It's only from my body, and no I haven't sold a kidney.

Yes, in the spirit of new year new me I have lost weight, meaning I'm now as supple as ever....
Well about a stone suppler (and that was just from out of my shoe). But genuinely, it is amazing how easy losing weight can be, who would have thought just cutting out frying with oil, butter, chocolate spread, and copious amounts of chicken nuggets would make you lose weight? Oh right, I've just read that list back.

Another thing that has happened recently is that I got a picture taken with a trophy! And not one in a museum or virtual reality or anything, a real trophy that I contributed to the winning of (well if you read the feedback, nearly hindered (bass trombones are supposed to be OTT)). Dunston silver has been at it again, but this time we went to Durham instead of butlins.
And this time we won, upsetting the odds, seven other bands, many websites, and a few twitter feeds. It may sound sad, but i feel genuinely proud of it. Although there is much work ahead, I have a 100% record to maintain now. My practice tirade of swearing shall begin shortly.

It has to be said that I don't have mainstream interests. After posting a picture of me with the trophy to facebook, a guy at work asked what it was for and looked shocked when he was told it was for a Brass band competition, his response was 'ahhh I thought it was a snooker competition with the waistcoat'. 

A single line couldn't sum me up better
