A Friday the 13th years ago I quit smoking.
Just saying.
Could be a good day.

Starkt jobbat att sluta röka. Tror inte heller allt för mycket på skrock som fredag den 13 automatiskt skulle vara en dålig dag.
Verligen duktigt gjort! Jag "håller upp" med att snusa... har gjort det sedan i maj förra året. Efter att ha snusat i 27 år så anser jag inte att jag har slutat än...kanske ska ge det ett år till innan jag anser att slutat. Tror jag. Tack för fina bilder imorse, det är alltid kul att gå till din blogg för att se vad du fotograferat.
Tack! Det var svart att sluta roka, men latt anda pa nagot underligt vis. Beroende skall inte underskattas, men de gar att bryta.
Sedan dess i alla fall har jag alltid gillat fredagar den 13:e.
