These riots are a bit... well I'm not really sure how I feel.  In one way I can understand how disenfranchised these people feel, but they are harming their own - that I can't understand.  Neighbours have been affected - jobs lost, homes lost.  Looting from small one/two person shops or local owners only damages their own community.  Sainsbury's, Tesco, Ladbrokes are impersonal - banks are behind a lot of the problems, so maybe. They don't burn down police stations.

In other news I've lost half a kilo over the last 3 weeks, not much, but it's on the right side.  Blood glucose is still okay and I'll get my results from the doctor next Monday at 9am, bright and early (well maybe not so bright!)
