Now THAT is a latte glass, nice and thick!

BTW, one of these days I'm going to lizard-nap that lizard. Or maybe befriend a kindly (yet completely suggestible) Swedish person and get them to lizard-nap it for me and post it, might be cheaper...

Ha! I do believe I have a better command of the English language than him! An 'Assie Ocker" I coitenly am not!

Mikael, I get what you mean though, with the 'Blow Hole Beach' and the 'Deep Creek'. In fact, I'll have you know it's not very deep at all; several inches only for the most part, and as far as the 'blowing' bit, it's just a bit of spray, really... We Australians are either VERY imaginative or NOT very imaginative with out place names, depending on how you look at it. I mean "South Australia". "Western Australia". "Northern Territory". "New (new, no less) South Wales". Yeah, Very imaginative. Best country to live in though (apart from Sweden of course )...

CONGRATULATIONS to both your daughter and the family for such a fine accomplishment. I bet you're more than just proud. In such uncertain world of kids going off the tangent, it's nice to see them stay on the right path. Give her a BIIIG hug on behalf of both my wife and I.

Thanks Robert !! I always considered myself lucky that I never had to use the Tangent offset Equation to calculate in what direction my girls were going. They are good kids and I am blessed that they are. I've seen the other side of that coin all too often.

Wostenholm | Shavemac | Lavender Bomb | Thayers Lavender | Lavanda | Sabon | Blenheim Bouquet

I was excited about this shave. I hadn't broken out the Wosty in a while and I was trying another new product from Al's Shaving Products. The shave started lovely. I didn't have much stubble after yesterday's excellent performance by the Flaschner, so I was thinking of a quick shave. The lavender started exploding in the shave bowl, and I began thinking of southern France. As I worked it into my whiskers, the scent completely overwhelmed me (in a very good way). The first pass was outstanding. The second pass, I began thinking about how great the shave was, and mentally drafting my SOTD post - I lost my focus on the shave and gave myself a little nick on the cheek. Then, I got so distracted thinking about how stupid I had been that I cut myself on the side of the nose too... So my awesomely lovely shave turned into a mess - but it was certainly no fault of the tools. This was all me... The silver lining of this cloudy story, though, is that I am BBS and smell great!
