Mike’s Meandering Mumbles

Since the big belly problem and the emergency operation in Kuala Lumpur I have not been able to do strenuous exercise, not that I am downhearted about that! But I do struggle to lose the flab and ridiculous amount of excess weight I carry.

Recently Alice and some of her tennis buddies went to lunch at a Noodle House that had Malaysian Lamb Curry on the menu. Having spent so long in Malaysia this was a plus as far as I was concerned. So over my lovely 2 day weekend we did some walking on the Corniche, rather colder at present than might be expected, as one can see.

Alice naturally has no weight problems in view of her tennis and the fact that her buddies have asked for a bit of training in the belly dancing she learnt in Malaysia and Singapore. In fact the “gang” were recently out buying the necessary belts. A few husbands should be getting a surprise shortly. But I struggle and I do not find the exerciser a great deal of fun, even though I have worked out my own personal exercise  routine on it.

But to return to the post walking time, a treat was needed. Usually we go to the posher restaurants, all in hotels, as not only are they a shade more upmarket but they can sell wine. But when one is struggling to lose weight a trip elsewhere is recommended.

And so I agreed to go to have some Malaysian Lamb Curry, which I have to say was delicious. You can clearly see the extended stomach here, which confirms the need for reduction.

But what an unfortunate result, next day I had the trots and a visit to the pharmacy was necessary to get the old respected remedy, imodium, into action. Mind you, the pharmacist was a charmer.
