Beer alone

I was very excited last night when Mike announced he would come down for dinner. I was all ready for English conversation and a few beers. But someone is being amazingly good on their diet and wouldn't drink!! I couldn't believe it. Puts my vague attempt at not eating so much sweet stuff (which lasted about 30 minutes) to shame. I can report thought that he has lost lots of weight and his new hair cut is really different. I was quite shocked! He claims it is the same hair he had when he came to Japan, but I don't remember that far back. But beer or no beer it was a good night, even with the pair of us so knackered we could hardly speak.
