Holiday Inn

Stayed at Kensington Forum. Not a very healthy environment. Also room has some drinks and snack next to a "with compliments" sign. But they're not "complimemtary" and you are charged minibar rate. Deceptive, duplicitous or just dubious practice?

Flight deck

The view from the other side of the sharp end! The BA captain sitting relaxed just before taxiing for flight to London. Flight was perfect except for a long period of turbulence; smooth landing at Heathrow.

Webmaster is away

Just about to board flight BA6 from Narita to London for a week of work in London and Glasgow.

Dumbbell press

Just to show that I'm still doing "old skool" free weights classics like the dumbbell press shown here with 2 x 24 kg, about 75% of my bodyweight; and one-arm db row with 32 kg, about 50% of my bodyweight.

Matsui lost

Surprisingly, Matsui lost at Gladiator in Okayama. He perfoms much better in training, even against stronger opponents, than he does in the ring in a fight. What can I say. There can be many reasons about which we have no idea: Matsui was the fighter, not us. Matsui has a strong heart and I'm sure he will be stronger because of this fight. He can overcome this disappointment and his friends and trainers will be with him every step of the way.

Momotaro arena, Okayama

From Mitsuru in Okayama! It's not as hot there as in Tokyo.
