So...

…I haven't smoked anything since the 2nd of January. Nor have I chewed much furniture, which is another win of sorts.

I dream of smoking, and not just jazz cigarettes. Every time someone on the telly takes a drag of a fag, some light goes on in the old noggin, and I reach for my roll-ups, which are no longer to hand.

Still, if I want to reach eighty, I have to make some sacrifices. And given that the second Ninefingers offspring is due this July, and I'm fifty-one now, I suppose that I really have to make an effort.

As a consequence of the impending appearance of aforesaid offspring, I have been given notice on my office: which will become the new nursery. I am to be exiled to a shed in the garden. It will be a posh shed…but still. The one we're looking at is made by a company in Ripon, Yorkshire, called OECO.

We're considering a 4m x 5m "Cube" garden office, with extra soundproofing and a few extra windows. I shall move most of my library into it, as well as my musical kit, and all of our office stuff. This will free up a lot of space in the house, which will make SWMBO happy.

Have you tried electronic cigarettes?

After a month of cold turkey, I can't see the point. If I'm going to give the thing up, I'm going to have to tough it out.
Like Commander Vimes, I'll keep something in a drawer to tempt me, or keep me strong, gods knows which.

So you're wearing your hair shirt on the inside, then? Well done, that man. (And/or ape.)

My plan is to give up smoking when The Woman Who For Some Reason Puts Up With Me becomes gravid. Not really looking forward to the "Hey, no more cigarettes" part of that. But hey, at least I don't need to give up whiskey.
