So my last post was one week before my 40th and this post is one week after.
Not a great deal has changed but I've still given up smoking and I'm still working in the cheese industry.
How's that for a riveting post.

A Week Ago And A Week Hence
This time last week I gave up smoking.
I was drinking a cup of coffee after breakfast on the terrace restraurant of the Majestic Hotel in Saigon and decided that this was a beter location than the smoking room at Singapore airport which was my second choice.
And I've not had a fag since and it's not difficult and therefore not really very noteworthy but I mention it as a week ago I was smoking in Saigon and in a weeks time I will be 40.
So I find myself between the old me and the new me (although I'm not sure that me is defined by either smoking or may age).
Scratch that last bit about the redundant and modern me and just accept that I felt some sense of symmetry.
The new/old me is still working at the cheese factory and still failing to find other work but I'm not too depressed about that, not depressed at all actually so I'll probably leave it at that and go home, make a curry and try to make some firebricks out of recycled paper.

About Me
- beefandcheese
- Despite compelling evidence to the contrary this was never meant to be about either beef or cheese, subjects in which I have little more than a passing interest. It is true however that the fates have recently conspired to find me work at a cheese factory but this is little more than a cruel, coincidental joke told at my expense.
