Coming on. Another in the ‘Pugilist’ series of papier-mâché life size masks and inspired by the quick sketch I did here. Made the eyes too. I’m very strange I think.
Paint next.
Great fun, but would you hang it on your wall when finished?
Ha!

Blotto's on a bit of a surge. 14,571 is excellent but love to get higher.
Care to help?
Only a tenner.
As a single father to a 13 year old girl, it would mean a lot to both of us.

In my everlasting deference, respect and overwhelming love to my ol’ mum and dad, how would you pronounce this?
Nug-et or Noo-gah?
Just interested.

I’m sure similar words might have been said about Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto.

Did I ever tell you all about the time I was stung by a wasp and on the scrotum as a 9 year old boy?
Fortunately, on that occasion, my dear ‘ol mum didn’t insist on sucking the sting out!
I think the damage might have been far greater had she have done so. Ha!

Never before have John Lennon’s words rung so true to me.
Trouble is, religion, racism, xenophobia, and greed fuck it all up.
We are all destined to ultimate failure until we realise this.

I’ve just suggested to my 13 year old daughter, Isadora, that I cut my hair off - trim and nice.
She said no, unequivocally!
What do you think?
I normally wear it tied up in any case.
Oh, please forgive the dark specks in my hairline - busy day removing ancient old paint.
The things we do, eh?
She said no, unequivocally!

I wonder whether I might use it to create an audiobook? Do they do Bristolian accents I wonder? German?
Link’s on my profile.
Love you to have a look if you haven’t already.

Here I am, home alone and sleeping in the garden.
The temperature out here is perfect, a still night, not a breeze even, and this is what I’m looking at.
A blurred image as you might notice, but strangely apt with my myopic vision and considering I’ve had a couple of beers. *hic*
Good night all. x

This embarrasses me. We are very lazy in the UK when it comes to food. No wonder there is so much obesity.
