To the Apple Store in Regent St again - returned the cover they sold me which looks great but you can't use the iPod when it's on !  Then gym this evening.  Body fat is down since last week, weight and BMI the same, but usually I'm weighed earlier in the day, which makes a difference.

Here is the gravestone of Adam Worth, a few yards away from my Dad.  Known as "The Napoleon of Crime" he was the model for Professor Moriarty in the Sherlock Holmes books.  He was from a poor German Jewish family, and emigrated to the US as a child. Injured in the second battle of the Bull Run he was taken to George Town hospital in Washington on August 30th 1862, there he learned that he was listed "killed in action" and left the army.  This was the beginning of his notorious career as a criminal.
