Still not smoking. Still fecking moody and irritable but I can feel my lungs coming alive again. Which is a bit worrying, as normally when I give up my lungs start feeling that they are full of tar, and I haven’t hit that stage yet.
Last night Channel 4 showed “Cold Turkey” which follows Tara Palmer-Tomkinson and Sophie Anderton as they try to kick smoking. Various techniques were used: rapid-smoking, therapy etc. but my favourite is a nice cross section of a ex smoker’s lungs – not very pretty as was a jar of tar. I must have been mad to start smoking.

Bye Bye Caffeine
I have decided to banish caffeine from my life too – already getting headaches. The good news is that I am drinking lots of water, Yogi Tea (with honey) and am even more bad tempered…
