A smog-free Tuesday
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007 11:05 amI have successfully managed to negotiate the route to work past and not via any number of tobacconists on the way in. This is a good sign, though the little brutish white sticks are preying on my mind again. I am still not convinced of the efficacy of these patches, having managed to be a complete grump on Sunday (though not yesterday), to the extent of snapping briefly unexpectedly (unexpected by me as much as anyone) at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ellefurtle simply for suggesting going for a beer. Luckily, I think that was the only instance and it subsided as quickly as it appeared. I don’t mind snapping at people if they deserve it and I decide to do it, but just growling for no reason is not something I like to do. Hopefully that’s the one and only instance: in previous attempts to give up smoking – admittedly all failed – I haven’t had a burst of temper like that. Don’t like it.
In the meantime, I’m still feeling very hot and that’s bugging me. Again, I feel fine, just hot and considering that the weather is rather cool at the moment and I am not wearing anything under my shirt, I should be pleasantly cool. I’m not.
In other and more fun matters, I think I baffled Furtle at the weekend with one of my new music acquisitions: Gather in the Mushrooms an anthology of British Acid Folk from 1968 -72.
We have yet to listen to the three CD set, Strangely Strange but Oddly Normal an Islands sampler from around the same period.
I suspect that at least some of this will be more up her street, with examples of late Psychedelia and early Progressive in the form of such luminaries as Traffic, Spooky Tooth, Quintessence and Nirvana1. We shall see. I expect very few of my dear readers to comprehend the glory of this music.
1The original Nirvana, not Kurt Cobain’s grunge band.
