You are what you eat Apr 07

In one of my saddest moves ever, I have begun a food diary. As I’m several stone overweight, this is probably a good idea. It will last for a month, ending on polling day – so perhaps not the most typical month as I’ll be out campaigning at various points.

What makes it particuarly geeky, though, is that my cameraphone plays a central role. Oh yes.

I’m keeping track via a blog for convenience (and via Blogger too), but if you like watching paint dry, you can view the diary at http://www.willhowells.org.uk/blog/food/
