Today was a test. Today was a mind test. Today was a bloody major mind test. Today was fishing day. Today was sitting for three and one hours whilst fishing and not having a cigarette. Today was a day where I only thought of a cigarette three or four times and only two of those thoughts was when fishing.
There were two other guys fishing around me. Both were older than I and both of them smoked.I wondered how they felt about smoking and thought they looked as though they enjoyed it. One of the guys told me he should not have been fishing as only last night he had a cataract operation on his eye. Went back to the Doctors this morning, the patch was removed and less than 12 hours after the operation he is back fishing. Boy- how times changed. I then wondered how the cigarette smoke would affect his eye.
Score for the day
Me- 3 fish, no cigarettes,quality air around me, health improvement,more money to spend on VW stuff.
Them, - no fish, improved vision in one eye, continued enjoyment from smoking,health deterioration
Legs eleven tomorrow

hey dad. it's funny - while you watch the days go forward, i watch the countdown on the side!
ReplyDeleteglad you went fishing and caught fish! have you looked into getting a little mini ipod? if you download itunes you can have a look at the podcasts that are available by going into itunes, and going to the itunes store, and clicking podcasts. they are free, even though they live in the itunes store.
i've just had a look and there are 14 VW podcasts -- as the english would say -- "get in!"
but then maybe the quiet is the point to fishing...
this will be my last comment for seven days or so - can't wait to get reading once i'm off the mountain :)
