I shaved my head again today. I shave it every couple of months to disguise the fact that I’m going bald.
My stories

Disenchantment
Posted on Thu, 05 Jun 2025
I see where you're coming from Jenny. I feel exactly the same. It depresses me to think about the state of the world today. Sometimes I tell myself to close my eyes to it but that's what people did in Europe in the 1930s with horrific...

I like to think that I'm a flamebearer. But I like the barefoot in the fields and the sinking in the dark bits too. You've brought these comparisions together wonderfully well and made me have a good think.
