Graham gets trousered

Graham gets trousered
Originally uploaded by GrahamIX

I have a funeral to go to on Thursday, so I was checking out which suit I should wear.

Having lost about 6kg, my "current" Austin Reed suit now makes me look like Koko the Clown. My black suit kind of looks OK (I never really liked it) but it has a huge gash on the crotch seam.

My 2000 vintage Gieves & Hawkes suit fits perfectly now (yay!), but has served as a banquet for moths. Bah.

So I guess it will be the Koko the Clown look tomorrow... which should at least highlight how skinny I am becoming.

And the result from the weigh-in is... 92.4kg / 30.5% body fat.

(As a terrible hoarder, I probably have Levi 501s in sizes 32" to 42" in my wardrobe). Current jeans are feeling roomy, so maybe it will soon be time to move down the that drawer full of even smaller jeans...

Yay me.

• 1 x rock oyster, 1 x teeny tiny wild salmon blini (the L-P tasting)
  
• slow roasted beef with gratin dauphinoise (Le Gavroche)
