Yes, it’s true, I have become incredibly dull since I stopped smoking. The first couple of weeks I was just plain dull and gloomy, then I became super sensible and did things like eat breakfast and drink hardly any alcohol. Now I am going to have to kick my biscuit addiction and become less boring. I will start by going to the pub tonight - oh, how scary to be in a building full of people smoking and not be smoking myself! Ahhhh!

I was in the bookies today (Dave’s horse romped in first in the National) and it was incredibly smoky. I quite liked it!

Oh how I wish I lived in the Republic of Ireland! They are so kind to their non-smokers and have brought in a smoking ban in pubs.

On a creative note, here are a few of the things I have been creating this week:

• Stripey jumper no 2 - Currently knitting arm 2 and hope to have it finished for my trip to Edinburgh after Easter
• Curtains for living room
• a mess

I will post some pictures soon.
