Come, Muse, and sing the dreaded washing day

What can one do when having the car washed? Take a few photographs...

I'm still suffering from flu symptoms, but on the other hand there is such a great winter weather outside (-5 °C, blue sky, sunshine, 80 cm of white snow on the ground) that it is almost impossible to avoid the temptation of going for a long walk. Well, one could try to make it a bit shorter because of the flu.

I'm not sure what is the reason but my weight is still going down. I lost 7-8 kg during last year, gained 1-2 kg during Christmas season and the darkest time of the year, but now I'm down 8-9 kg from where I was in early 2012.

In the beginning of 2012 I started drinking green tea instead of coffee, in the spring of 2012 I started commuting by bicycle a couple of times each week, and in the autumn of 2012 I switched to vegetarian lunches at work. These aren't such big changes, so I'm not sure why the weight loss. But it is a good thing, my weight index is now 26, and there is only 3,4 kg left to reach the so-called "normal" weight range.
