Sunday
What an interesting day. Awoken early (8:30) by the bike riders who take over the town hall I live next to every few weeks. Showered, coffee. Walk to the top of Mount Torrens, showered. Ate two boiled eggs. Trimmed the hedge and conversed about it with the bike riders. Cut my hair and showered. Ate a fried egg and sauerkraut. Retired to the lawn with 'Shame' by Salmon Rushdie, three beers and a straw cowboy hat. Requested cucumber sandwiches from the wife and received them. Got burnt by the sun. Retired indoors to my room and shaved; hot towel, Madame Scodiloi Boheme soap, Klas Törnblom razor, no aftershave. Requested two more beers from the wife and received them. Wrote my post.

After having a swim this afternoon I decided to have an early evening shower and shave.
The near wedge provided a damn fine 2 pass shave.
It might benefit from a touch up though, or maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to use my new Naniwa 12K SS

I watched the Godfather part II last night. At a little over 3 hours it's a big investment, but well worth it (I only got 4 hours sleep)
This one sees a young Robert De Niro join the cast as young Vito. Another great installment in the trilogy
Have a great week fellas and thanks for the posts and pics
