Just before bed I stepped on the scale.
First thing in the morning I did the same again.
Nearly a full 2kg difference.
It is absolutely amazing how much weight is lost whilst you sleep.

I wonder where the two missing kilos went.  Did you also weigh the bedding before and after?

There is a youtube video/TED talk about "where does the weight you lose go?" chemically, as obviously it doesn't disappear by magic.  The basic summary was that while some is excreted of course, the bulk of it seems to come out as gases in normal respiration.

Huge morning defecation as well?

Ugh.  Today would have been my dad's birthday.  He would have been 69.

While it is ok to be sad, don't forget to celebrate his life.

Because maps are cool.
It is fascinating how empty England really is, despite the 20th century push for sprawl.

How on earth can you think that shows England is empty?

England is basically one giant wildlife preserve.

I mean there are low density-ish areas, like people not wanting to live in mountains in Wales (WTF! OMG! WALES IS NOT ENGLAND!!!1111), but I can see how a North American would not be impressed.

If only there were some clue why we have a housing crisis.

Thanks, and thank you to Maladict, and Syt as well.  Languish is good folk.

Most of the map shows minimal density with only a few isolated islands of civilization
