Some of the credit for the wonderful meal my wife prepared for our friends the other day must also go to my mother-in-law. When coming to Jeddah my "better half" brought lots of Japanese foodstuffs with her. The result? Well, I have already gone back a notch on my belt which means I'm "heading in the right direction". Typical for me I am always "on the go" at work, with students already commenting when they see me running down the long corridoors. Slowly but surely I'm getting back into shape!
