I would lie if I’d say that my presence outside was entirely unrelated to this nasty habit of mine... Smoking isn’t really appreciated, but can be tolerated in cases of emergency.
At my mother’s, I don’t smoke inside at all (my mother being very short of breath), which is hard, especially in Winter. When I think of the golden times when we didn’t need hooks to hang picture frames, but simply pressed these in the tar layer covering the walls... Long gone, long gone.

Cargo ships and small motor boats, mostly –there’s a marina on the other side of the river. Nice enough, but nothing spectacular.

Instead of "unhappy" I was rather going for "pissed" ;-), as in "Look, what you're doing to me - you make an outcast of me!" Well, "short of breath" is good enough a reason I suppose. Nice selfie nonetheless, pretty good lighting!

I’m a reasonably civilized person, and I respect it when people feel bothered by smoking (though I may not seek their company). What does piss me off is that I’m not allowed anymore to smoke in my own room at work: I’m too old now to be educated, and I really hate it when the education comes from my employer, who pays me, and thus believes to be entitled to arbitrariness.

Don’t think I’m addicted. Of course, I can do without cigars for a limited period of time, for instance, when I’m sleeping.

LOL LOL LOL LOL KEES!!!
of all people you know *I* know you are never
as *unhappy* or *bored* as you look ;-) in your selfies :-D
this look is *iconically* (I think I just made this word up ;-P )
you!!!
and I love it!

It’s pretty much how I look naturally, when I don’t feel observed, and need not play the “nice guy” part (which wouldn‘t bring me an Oscar nomination anyhow). So I guess you’re right: the facial expression *is* iconically me (and if it wouldn’t be that it would be the right hand gesture).

I understand your anger about the "late education" or rather: the idea of "owning people" for no other reason than paying them for their work (which is only fair). I know, I sound naive, but it seems I can never quite get used to these capitalist ideas of exploiting people's talents. So yeah - it's kind of overbearing to rule the smoking out without specific reason, when it was allowed.
No need for smoking when you sleep? Great accomplishment, I petrify in awe ;-)
