New month, new pointless challenges

My January New Year resolutions ended with a whimper. I drank two glasses of wine and some Harvey's stout two days before the month came to an end. I had to do it. I was with my family and the beer came out especially. The next day I had my first coffee of the month. My boss made it and I thought it churlish to throw it back in his face.

The two challenges for February are as follows:

1) To give up chocolate
2) To read two fiction books
