Saturday - easy enough - a relaxed morning shave - get picked up at two to go spend the night with my oldest friends just outside Perth - Scotland - not Western Australia. Time to bravely step up to the challenge of - a glut - of fine malt whiskies. Actually - I failed - stuck to red wine - felt all the better for it in the morning. I did - however - wake up in a guest room - with my head next to a tank of Amazonian - 'poison dart' frogs. I'm not joking - they were bright blue - the son of the house - apparently keeps them. Not a dynamic pet - they aren't going to fetch a stick for you. They lose their toxicity in captivity. Made me laugh - the frogs didn't react. They didn't do shit - not even blink - but - they did get me out of a plot hole recently in a made-up Sherlock Holmes story. Group Captain and Extro - ne plus ultra - tobacco wise for me at the moment.
Tonight - an excellent - but hard won shave - let me tell you about my day? So - long story short - the conclusion of a two or three week trial I have been working on - historic child abuse - what is out of the ordinary is - though - that you can legally connect it to one of the - two - main football teams in Scotland. Fair enough - the jury come back unhelpfully late. All hands to the pumps - need to get a lot of archive pictures legalled. Harsh day - conversations with idiots - Let's imagine a TV news channel - like Sky - for instance - or it might have been the BBC -
'Is that the right guy - in the picture?'
'No - I just photographed a complete stranger in the street - and branded him - a serial pedophile - for a laugh.' I thought but did not say out loud. 'Fu****g homoculus c**t.' - at this point channeling my inner Malcolm Tucker. 'Does your mum know that you aren't doing your homework? 'F**k off - fetus boy.'
So - harsh - let's look forward to a dram - put the day to bed - a nice evening shave? You would have thought so?
Go for a shave - the den light fails - not just the bulb - the whole thing nearly falls out the roof. F****ng c**t - I don't need this. So - first solution - shave by the light of a Petzl headtorch - I've done it before - but it doesn't work with a big mirror - you just blind yourself - as you check progress. Next option - shaving by candlelight. Sounds romantic? Yes - well. Actually a very good shave - I couldn't see shit properly - no glasses and a single candle. Tell you what - in my experience - it teaches you the value of of muscle memory - as close as any shave - but in the gloom. Know your face - it will be fine. The Nomad combo - helped just fine tonight. I'm less pissed off - the healing power of a good shave. Enjoy yours - all - I.
Fuc**** fuc** - fu** - 'that's an 'omni-shambles.'
Did anybody - that has got this far in this post - well done you - see the use of the same blade usage 16 & 17 referenced - no shit? It is all true - I'm not making this up.
