Liver-Cleansing Diets
Jacinta has recently started the liver-cleansing diet (LCD), which Ross seems to have had good success with. I'm often skeptical of diets (there are too many "fad diets" which are quite bad), but a bit of research shows that the LCD appears to be quite sensible.

One thing which made me very happy is that I can feed Jacinta lots of wild herbs that I've collected because the diet recommends them as healthy and healing foods. I don't think I could have ever convinced Jacinta to drink dandelion tea or eat fresh sowthistle otherwise.

I am Fabio -- the most beautiful man in the world
I've been doing my Fabio look (beautiful brown curly hair waving over my shoulders) the last couple of days. While this seems to have gained the appreciation of the Support team at Schoolsnet, it's also brought back an old problem of mine -- gender misidentification.

It seems that whenever I've freshly shaved, people seem to get my gender wrong. Last night it was the taxi driver, in the past it's been shop assistants, waiters, and a variety of others. This gets mildly annoying, because I am actually male.

I've considered growing a beard a few times, but I've found that (1) it itches when I try to grow a beard, and (2) my beard grows only in spots and looks really stupid. So much for that idea.

Rockclimbing and Comedy
Karen came rockclimbing with us on Sunday, and generally had a fun time once she had got past a few teething problems with the belay harness. With luck she should become a regular climber. Afterwards some of us went to a comedy show in South Melbourne, which was very enjoyable. Unfortunately Karen seems to have picked up a bit of a cold from the whole experience.

My private health insurance say that they'll pay for 70% of my rockclimbing fees. I'm sending them off a claim today to see if they keep good to their promise.

New people, every day. We have a new person in the Support team who I haven't met yet.
