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

Posted on Sat, 31 May 2025

Peat Bog Feet

Posted on Thu, 29 May 2025

Thanks Di, it's reassuring to know that my feet resemble those of thousands of years old peat bog men. Perhaps I should change my socks more often.
