They coined the term....

My Granddad (he insists it's spelt with the DD) sent me this photo today. Its of him, my nan, my aunty and my dad before they emigrated here. I like my aunty's socks. And my Granddad's moustache.

I don't have a story or anything particularly significant that goes along with it, I just like things that make up a history I'm a part of now but wasn't once. I've been to the house this was taken outside of- father/daughter pilgrimage to Surrey, so it was nice to see the shot in my inbox today.

A little update to the stop-smoking campaign for those playing along at home. It's been two weeks and although I'm ashamed to say I haven't passed with flying colours, I am happy to report I can still count the amount I've had on two hands. 6 in 2 weeks is still better than it was before. Unfortunately spending time with an old friend who has returned from a international sojourn with a new rolling skill has made giving up completely a little bit difficult. I enjoy having a chat with him over a coffee and a cigarette (or in this evening's case, a cigarette and some Mad Men) and that's not a guilty pleasure I want to part with just yet.
