30 days!

Yes, who's counting? Me! Most I've given up in 5 years. Almost cycled up a steep hill today. Not bad, should be better in a month or so. Tonight I eat salad and drink cold cold lager. I am very lucky to be able to do this. I've bought a book to read, too, Breath by Tim Winton, it's beautifully written. Tonight I shall watch The Big Short for the sixth time because it still makes me laugh and cringe and the acting is diabolically good. The sad thing is Mark Baum's prediction will come true, no lessons will be learned, the 2008 crash will happen again and the tax payer will carry the can leaving insiders with even more money. The only good thing will be that I won't be smoking when it happens. If you haven't seen the Big Short please do, it's all about the 2008 crash and the handful who saw it coming. It's a ride!

Huge well done Hidden especially on beating your record best! Enjoy the film, (you could very well be right, but we won't be smoking as you said!!) My all time favorite film I could watch over and over again is the Shawshank Redemption, beautifully written story, read the book before the film came out and really felt the film done it so much justice....

I'd crawl through 500 metres of sh*t for a cigarette, well, not anymore.

The 500 meters crawling, Yes I might have done even more but now I am willing to do that away from a cigarette...!

Stay strong !!

3 weeks will fly by. They say the first ten years are the worst so I think we've cracked it!
