Water Water, Everywhere

Today I decided to drink 5 litres of water in a 7 hour period. I have done this before when I worked at my last place, but everytime I got up to go to the loo, my mates in the office decided to top up the water, so I ended up drinking at least 6 or 7 litres! You know who you are...!

I managed it in less than the 7 hours, and drinking this much water really does make you feel more alert.

A colleague suggested that I should actually fill up the bottle everytime I needed the loo, that way I could work out how much water my body absored merely sitting at the desk, through natural sweat and breathing etc. I imagine peeing back into a bottle might not go down too well in meetings and the like, but it is something that I would like to measure in the future! I would also test the absorbtion rate after an hour in the gym, just to see what the difference was.

*** Celeb spotting news ***

Was at my brothers on Saturday helping him lay his garage base (bloody hard work it was too) and afterwards we went to a tea room in Lincoln. Saw one of the women from 'Dinner Ladies' - cant remember her name, ut she is the young one, and has been in lots of other things too.

Its amazing innit? I lived in London for 6 years, and never saw any celebs. Then in Malvern I saw quite a few round the theatre etc (see Lionel Blair post!) now in the last couple of weeks, Ive seen 2!
