OMG what a day. Terrible irritation this morning and then got lost looking for office building in Plymouth, went thru same roundabout 5times, finally arrived for appt 20 mins late. Nevermind, didn't give in. Now pc at home's gone kaput, but still have the daughter number 2 at home with her pc, what a mess this room is!
Am installing new Graupner 400 series motor in RTTL vosper to scare a swan, wish me luck. House is smelling cleaner, have to get to beach tomorrow with the dogs. Hey, maybe SA for grapes and World Cup, any tickets left?

Reminds me of the Airplane movie - you know, the 'Looks like I picked a bad day to give up smoking (drinking/sniffing glue)' line ! Hang in there - think how much better the sea will smell now - at least until the smell of wet dog takes over ! Hae a K for not planting a bomb in the middle of the roundabout  |

Yeah especailly when the tides out  . I always thought the smell of wet dog would be the basis for a mens cologne, ;D. Going well, so now , I've no excuse to get building again. Even said to the missus. how about a chinese takeaway as we've saved £50 this week, sure she says, mmm. |

.. the patchs chemically place nicotine into your blood stream at a time released rate over a day, and the course is slowly decreased over a 12 week period, still have the cravings but then again, £35 a week will be a nice little holiday in a few months, right when its getting cool here.

Hi guys, back from my vacation and what an experience. Good weather all around, even traveling to and from Durban was great. I like to share a few photos. On the beach at Amanzimtoti just south of Durban. The wind was a bit strong that day.  At the Suncoast casino's beach front.  The north beach of Durban. All around is construction going on in preparation for the soccer world cup.  A visit to one of the jetty's on the north beach. Not one of Chill's dancing girls in the front, but my Blond enjoying the scene of Surfers' well build bodies.... I think?   The new soccer stadium in Durban under construction. Just waiting for Rob (and others of course) to come and enjoy the grapes in the bottle.  Must say it was better than my first honeymoon, because it was a smokeless one and much more experience was on my (and my wife's) side on how to enjoy such a holiday.  ;D PS: Sorry I was so eager to share my holiday experience that I only read your well wishes and Rob's sticky problem afterwards. Thanks to you all and Rob my Blond says you must use baby oil or cooking oil, rub it on the glue spot with a piece of cloth to remove it with not much effort and no pain. |

Looks like you had a great time Coenie.
Sounds like you've really got the smoking licked as well. Are you still getting cravings, or are they a thing of the past (I hope)

A blonde nurse with baby oil ? Now if that was offered on the NHS it would almost be worth taking up smoking just to give up !!
