Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

New (Old) Sensations

About seven and a half years ago I decided to bid adieu to an old friend, partly to reclaim valuable time I wasn't ever going to get back. As my chin (and top lip) disappeared beneath my facial hair I never particularly looked back. Nor down. Now, for whatever reason has prompted this*, I took the rather radical decision of shaving said facial hair off at the end of last week. Whilst I know people do this daily, and as such it isn't radical in that sense, for me I have gone through several large milestones in my life without removing said fur.

Having returned to my natural state, albeit briefly, I am happy to notice three things. First, I don't have a double chin which I feared I may have developed. Secondly, I can still shave around my mouth without cutting my lips/nose off. Lastly, I had forgotten the pleasant sensation of a cool breeze on a recently shaven top lip.

I look forward to checking back in 2013.

*Curiosity is a bad thing.
