18th February, 2025: Gambia.
It’s official: I’ve lost weight … !
Not much: some two hundred grams.
But enough to keep me pleased.
Now all I need to do … ?
Is keep at it!

My wrist hurts.
Oh, at least, the left hand side of the bone in my arm that connects to the wrist.
It’s not painfully painful … but it’s certainly noticeable.
Especially as a pain in my left arm gives me issues … as it would to anyone left-handed.
Heigh … ho!

I don’t think it’s been posted to the BBC’s news sites, as yet.
But … ?
I’ve got the Today programme on, in the background
Who’ve told us of another chapter in the on-going post office scandal.
As you probably know, many sub-postmasters — franchisees — have been wrongfully convicted of various shades of fraud and theft: after faults developed in the Horizon IT systems Fujitsu built for the Post Office.
Developed … and hidden.
Going by today’s news?
The Post Office has renewed Fujitsu’s contract: until October 2026.
I know building, testing, then releasing, these large scale systems takes time.
I know that as well as you do.
But … ?
Extending Fujitsu’s contract, because — as I suspect — the Post Office hasn’t planned for a replacement, years ago … ?
Is just plain stupid.
