Oxygenated. It is the seventh day of non smoking freedom and it'd be easy to say it's been easy. I have had no excruciating withdrawal symptoms. I haven't experienced cold turkey. I stopped and it made sense and that's that. Aside from waking at 5am and feeling slightly high from the oxygen in my system I am feeling no negative side effects. It's like stopping an addiction to punching yourself in the face.

My friend Lisa Dwan might wonder why I haven't written anything about our wonderful Thursday afternoon in Hampstead. I am trying to keep my blogs brief and this often means the exploration of one event is better than describing many. If you take a look at yesterdays blog you'll see what I mean. And talking of blogs: As it is difficult uploading pictures and impossible to manage tides of comment spam I shall be changing my blog platform soon.
