A Penguin's Tale: Day Four

A wish for wings that work

Day four and Opus T Penguin, last seen being eyed up by a very startled Nessie, has taken it upon himself to remove himself from such Jurassic danger by taking a cable car journey into the Highlands. Let it not be said that he "hot tailed it out of there", but he chooses to sit on the ventilator...

healthier living

It is warm in here today. And quiet. I want to go to sleep; I woke up several times during the night feeling rather cold and recall dimly that I had to wrestle the duvet back from herself. I think I might have to break out my Big Bloo Blanky and wrap myself in it for the next few nights. It is warm, but not as warm as the duvet so maybe I shan’t keep casting it off in my sleep only to have it snaffled and no longer available when I want it back.

My consignment of Snus arrived yesterday, so nicotine deprivation is no longer a problem. This stuff is both stronger and cheaper than nicotine replacement patches and stuff. I can get my hit without smoking and the health worries are much, much lower. The Swedish government have tested it to Hell and back and the EU, whilst still not permitting its general sale outside of Sweden itself (though I believe there is a legal challenge in the works), agreed some time ago that the health warnings can be taken off the packaging. It was only put there in the first place on the (unwarranted) assumption that tobacco is harmful per se, which is palpable nonsense. It depends how you process it and then how you then consume it.

The thing is, I feel better when dosed up on nicotine than I do when I’m not. I guess that’s the result of 30 or so years smoking. So now I can get my nicotine hit without smoking and all is well. This stuff lasts much longer than cigarettes, is cheaper, even when taking account of postage from Sweden, and doesn’t make me want to smoke (nine weeks with out a gasp by the end of today, I think).

( The next stage is to bite the bullet and buy an exercise bike. )
