Nicky, Mmm… not sure about your naked friend weirdo. Would it be deeply distressing to him to run about in his pants instead? But I agree that we should be free to flap our genitalia about as we please. How long before the “paranoid bag women” who read The News of the World get him on some sex abuse register… mere days, I suspect sadly.

I am just about to end 3 days of fasting. It’s all the rage around here – everyone is doing it. Today I helped prepare food for several hours, went to a supermarket and walked into Burger King (purely for research purposes) and still managed not to partake of solids.

Everyone swears that they feel fantastic after they fast and frankly, what the hell else is there to amuse yourself with around here?

I am really surprised that I haven’t even really felt hungry. During breakfast and lunch on my first day I sat in deep concentration for 3 hours – not to awaken to a deeper reality – but to avoid the reality that everyone was enjoying the daily feastings. I’ve just had a mild headache occasionally and aren’t exactly full of beans. What is the Brockbank policy on fasting? I can just as easily imagine you swearing by it as swearing at it – and considering it preposterous.

Well, I shall tell you if it is all worthwhile latterly.
