Saturday 8th January 2005 - Day 21

I received my copy of the January National Geographic in the post yesterday. The cover story, for those who haven’t seen it, is “Hooked – on the world’s most popular drug” i.e. Caffiene in all its forms. (Online version at http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0501/index.html)

I used to love coffee… I drank tooooo much of it though. Coming off of it means I am here now.. slightly melodramatic maybe, but I am no longer awake all night, sometimes pacing the floor, nor am I as jittery as I once was.

Coffee is still ‘good’ though, I can drink it, but very seldom do I. When I do I get a high that lasts for several hours – I never noticed that before!

Anyway, this is my version of the cover – I suppose it is a caffeine-free version. Ginger, Orange and Honey Herbal Tea. It smells and tastes lovely.

The newspaper story is about Steve Perryman, the former Spurs hero, who is Director of Football at Exeter City. They play Manchester United in the FA Cup this weekend. Come on you Grecians
