Thread: Sun - March 10th - Sat March 16th

Thursday, they tell me.


Day broke golden and clean with all the birds mentioning it, from the magpie to the rooster.
I saw at first the light and the lack of light.
I saw the truck and the car and the lady dog walker as I transitioned from house to car.
I saw the look on the face of the cop with the speed gun,
(I am unsure if he saw my face)
I saw a crow hovering almost still over a small eucalypt.
I saw the creek that I thought would be dry still water-full.
I saw the rocks I want to climb just sitting there being rocks.
I saw a guy with a sign saying Stop on one side and Slow on the other waving to me and wondered why he waved to me;
Maybe he wanted to feel included?
I saw the broken down car with the wheels removed, up on bricks, looking almost representative of cars with stolen wheels.
Representing them all for a cause.
I saw all those clouds,
all of them,
lording it over us all,
as if they're special.
As if they are special.

Not been feeling too good again so sat at home. Couldn't resist getting a shave - I'm glad I did! Face feels really good.

Aftershave: TOBS No.74 Victorian Lime



Notes: Quick WTG/XTG 1-pass shave. Very good razor and an acceptably close shave.
Perhaps I don't wet it enough, but I do find that TOBS Jermyn Street cream dries a little quick.

Today's shave was a special one. I recieved this razor as a gift for standing at my Father's side as he Wed his Love. Upon recieving the razor I was so excited, yet knew I had a job ahead of me. It was in poor shape, and the scales were broken and flea bitten. I had hoped to do the restoration myself, but due to Work schedule, Family and other time constraints, I decided it best to have it refurbished.

The results are Paramount, and the shave with it was glorious! A treasured heirloom that I hope will last for generations.
