On Tuesday we had a little stove installed in our living room. It is very sweet. D told me that a hideous mess had been made when the old flue had been removed, but I didn’t realise quite how awful it had been until I saw this picture.

We haven’t lit it yet – it is summer (sometimes).

Today at work I got very annoyed with somebody. I guess that there are only so many times that I can bear to be referred to as a stoner. The man who annoyed me used the term ‘wacky backy’ and thus gave away his age. Does anybody who smokes pot actually refer to it as ‘wacky backy’?

‘Hey man, want to have a toke of my wacky backy cigarette?’

The allegations are unfair. They always have been. Why is it that just because you choose to smoke rolling tobacco, it is assumed that you must be a druggie?

I am not a pot smoker, if anything, I am anti-pot. Now that I have stopped smoking tobacco I doubt that I will ever have pot again. So, when this man makes his little jokes I feel annoyed, I do not want to be associated with ‘wacky backy’ and I feel that he is being very rude. Yet, if I was to call him a ‘wanker’ (which I’m sure he couldn’t deny) he would most likely take offence.
