So I've now spent a whole week without coffee. Well, I say without coffee; that's not entirely true. I have had a single cup of decaf instant, but I'm not counting that one.

Things have been a little challenging so far. The trickiest thing has been my "first thing in the morning autopilot coffee making". Catching myself just after putting the kettle on, and having to resort to a glass of squash, or water instead has been interesting to say the least.

Ever since I gave up the wonderful drug I seem to have been getting headaches in the afternoon. I'm not quite sure if I should put that down to the cold that I've had or just to good old fashioned withdrawal symptoms.

Either way, I seem to be doing pretty well. But I can't wait until the 12th of October, when I can enjoy a hot, smooth, satisfying cup of the wonderful brown stuff. Okay I'm not helping myself now.

Ciao.
