    Wednesday

    Razor | Jernbolaget Frameback | Cream | Tabac | After Shave | Tabac

    Quite a nice shave this morning, but it was carried out with some pain. Last night at bouldering I ripped a whole heap of skin off my arm, and then I got all depressed thinking maybe I was just too old to be bouldering, and I should just give up and get fat.

    The shave brought me out of that mood somewhat, the Tabac assisted, as did nicely polished handmade brown leather boots, a nice jacket and nice vintage cufflinks.

    By the time work was finished and I had listened to an excerpt of Martin Luther King’s speech on the radio (I believe the speech was given 50 years ago) and had committed to find the audio and put it on my music player so I could listen to it in the morning I was feeling much, much better.

    I hope you're all feeling much much better too, which means that if you were feeling pretty chipper before you're now over the moon and quite ecstatic, really.

    A smooth shave this morning...
