Just been at an exhibition in my town, there were scultures shown at an antique restored church, I made more pictures of the church than of the scultures but if you want to see they're here: http://postimg.org/gallery/3agvxv3h8/1340b601/

Walked in the back door today after checking
the clouds outside. I had heard thunder so I
wanted to see where the storm was coming
from.

As I turned around to lock the screen door
I see a big snake crawling down the door
near the top. I had walked right past him
going out and coming back in.

I go around to the front door and head
towards the back. Grab my Moses Stick
and now, well lets say there's one less
snake in the world.

OMG can you believe I completely forgot to brag to all of you that on June 16, 2016 I celebrated exactly 14 years cigarette free? I have never forgotten one of my special anniversaries before. I chain smoked those damn things and I remember in the last few years of them waking up every morning and coughing to death. I also puked a lot in those years never knowing until I quit that my body was rejecting the nicotine. I had tried quitting several times before but could never make it past ten days. I called it "the ten day hurdle." But when my body told me it was time to quit I decided to smoke to the very last cig in that pack knowing full well that would be it. Cigs in those days cost $4.50 a pack but I saved money by purchasing them by the carton. I quit cold turkey and had cravings every day for eleven months. But I courageously fought the battle and triumphed.

Well done! I remember thinking I could never quit and feeling bad about myself, but had my last one back in Feb. 1998. I got a hate-on for them and how they made me feel which helped. It really is weird to look back on being cig free for so long!

​Well done Viv! I also had my last cigarette nearly 14 years ago - 1st December 2002. I'd spent months travelling and decided that when I landed back in the UK I would never have another cigarette. I was a social smoker (rather than needing one every day) but just couldn't stop, it took me a couple of years of trying. My grandfather died of lung cancer in his 50's so I knew that I wouldn't be one of the lucky ones if I kept up this habit.

Da iawn!! Pob lwc Cymru!

Thanks for the update. I rarely put the TV on and I'm not a football fan so I haven't heard much about Euro 2016, but I'm glad they are doing so well.

​It was my daughter's sports day this morning, and for the first time I plucked up the courage to join in with the parents race.
This is not the kind of thing I usually do I knew I'd be one of the last, but it felt good to give it a go

Very proud of your dad's accomplishment while he was alive.

Awesome. Me & you share the same quitting year. I was trying to figure out what smoking had to do with you being a social worker and then I read it again LOL.

early this morning so I could have surgery performed (Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy)).

Sitting in our apartment, my lovely wife Alisa is taking care of me.
