Fisherman's Friend Cherry Menthol Lozenges are a little bit disappointing. I mean, they taste of cherry and all, but the menthol is low key and there's none of that knock-the-top-off-your-head power that screams Fisherman's Friend at you.

Ah well, could be worse.

Day three continues apace. I am supposed to be going for a pint after work with the GASPs crew. I don't really want to; not quite three days in and BEER is a sure fire way of tempting me back on to the paths of wrongtiousness. It's done it before. I shall go along for a half hour, have a pint and come away. Proper boozing will have to wait against the day I don't spend time consciously not smoking.

I am still awaiting my first proper fall of soot. It hasn't happened yet and the longer it takes, the bigger it is likely to be. That'll be interesting. I have the start of a cough, but nothing too annoying yet.

I still can't work out if I am all hot and sweaty because of the general temperature or because of my general temperature...

The pub is a bad idea, smoking and drinking work so well together.

The worst for me was getting through a role play event without smoking. It was damn hard! But I've done two now so I know I can. The worst thing is I'm not sure I really even want to, but the thought of not injecting any more is rather nice so giving up smoking is a small sacrifice!

Keep to it!

The trouble is, I actually like smoking. That said, I am fed up with being out of breath for very little effort etc.

As to giving up smoking and that meaning that you no longer have to inject? Result!

At the moment I have, on average, 5 injections a day. The new insulin will do away with three of these which will be a godsend. I'm having quite a lot of trouble with tissue breakdown where I've been injecting for the last 30 years at the same rate and of course this isn't going to change. I quite like smoking too, but not having injections is much better!

Wear mittens or elastoplast your fagging fingers together?

You sound like you're doing well, regardless of how it might feel on the inside. Huzzah!

There is, incidentally, a fine Fisherman's Friend gag in Stella Does Tricks, which also features James Bolam as a very creepy pimp.

I seem to remember starting a Fisherman's Friend revival at the Grhhaaammmaaahhhrrrr in my earlier years there. I can never seem to find them anymore.

And I would never expect anything like that from you either!

"Wrongtiousness"??? Ooh!

[caddyman.livejournal.com]

Indeed. It seemed apt.
