Vacations are a great excuse for letting loose with both behavior and diet. My sister and her husband have been visiting London this week and while I can’t say they have acted with any less care, I have certainly lived as if I were the one on vacation.

This past weekend, after lunch at Pizza Al Rollo* (higly recommended!) in Richmond and a walk on the River Thames, we went by the supermarket Tesco. Lo and behold, they had a full display case of Krispy Kreme donuts (or doughnuts if you will)! I haven’t seen those since our last visit to the U.S. last Fall. I immediately grabbed a box of a dozen assorted right on the spot for almost $14 USD. A total rip-off considering my brother-in-law told me that they sell for as little as $4 a dozen in the U.S.

Doesn’t matter! We’re in a vacation frame of mind. Over the last four days, I’ve inhaled about eight of the dozen with Marv and Stephen eating the others. I even tried pan frying them with a little butter as Christina advised and toasting them in the oven. Couldn’t get any more sinful, bad for the arteries, and indulgent at around 2500 calories total. Good thing we’ve been out and about sightseeing although I’m still surprised I fit in my jeans.

Doesn’t take much for me to drop all pretense at a sensible diet. My sis and her husband are off to Italy today where I hope they’ll stuff themselves to the gills as all vacationers should. I know I would if I were there.

In keeping with my campaign to get Wanadoo/Orange to fix my broadband, it has been 2 months and 4 days since I lost broadband in London, UK. Yesterday, I emailed the Internet Services Providers’ Association, UK for help.
