from the sofa of Jones the snotty

....got a norrible cold (sniff) which has set off my RA - so I'm a bit stranded in the cockpit- see pic left - missed lots of things I planned to do this week.

Talking of pics - a vivid illustration that some clouds have silver linings...
I lent my lovely baby digi-cam (a Canon IXUS 40) to Cath 'cos she was going to Finland on business (I have such globe-trotty mates), and although she packed it carefully in the middle of her suitcase, it got broken on the journey back. Bugger! we thought - but she claimed on insurance, and I now have a replacement - a Canon IXUS 800 IS. And because prices have fallen and technology has advanced a lot recently, it is much more super-wizzy than the old one -and if you show the slightest interest I'll bore you with just how much wizzier it is than the old one.




You know what your hair is like when you've just crawled out of bed? - well I get that with my beard - attractive and a little raffish eh?- see pic right

Have you really got remote-controlled loo roll? That's impressive (or very lazy).

Not having a beard (yet) I never appreciated the upkeep involved.

Greetings-
As I have beome older, a strange thing has happened to the hair on my head. It has almost vacated the top but now I have no problem growing it on my face.
Goodbye to hair, hello to beard
(I think your beard looks fantastic)
Kind regards adanac67

ah yes... the remote-controlled loo roll - one of my finer inventions - until that terrible accident in the seafront gents in Cleethorpes...
It was as a result of that accident I grew the beard and moved to Bradwell....

Looking at the photo, your beard seems to have an inclination to sweep to the right! (who would have thought we could have such an in depth discussion regarding beards!)

...thus is revealed a great secret - I sleep on my left side, hence my beard is swept to the right - ;} txxx
