Chocs Away

Most people returned to work this morning and, what with chocolate Easter eggs , we now have to accept that the merry-making is at an end. Soon it will be Halloween.

"It feels like coming back to school after the holidays," said Suzy Beaumont, one of the producers in Inverness. Suzy then revealed that she had had the same kind of rotten night's sleep that she used to have on the eve of the new term. Me too. I must have had about three hours kip before the radio alarm went off and I heard Gary Robertson talking about the planned for the River Forth.

Business as normal then.

I have to say that my weight-loss plans have received more support from blog readers than I got from my Ö÷²¥´óÐã colleagues this morning. Even Joanne, my PA, recoiled in horror when I threw a bag of celery sticks onto my desk and announced I'd no longer be taking milk in my coffee.

"You can't go from chocolate to celery in one fell swoop, " she told me, "that could kill you."

There was something seductive about the notion of a gradual transition to healthy food. I could start with chocolate covered raisins and then gradually switch to naked raisins and then prunes.

But no! I know what her game is. She's just worried that I wont be vistining that damned vending machine so often and then sharing my confectionery in the office.

This is going to be tricky.
