Ah . . . that's better . . . using a normal QWERTY keyboard now, but I find it rather confusing to look where the keys are. Erm . . . yes. So, for those interested in my health and well-being - the nurse (I've just been to the doctors) said my blood pressure was 'borderline', which was much better than last time. She also took some blood, via an injection in my LEFT ARM. Previously, it was always in the right but . . . no, that was just a TB thing, wasn't it? You know? The whole, "what hand do you write with?" thing, in case there was some kind of reaction . . . oh, I don't know. Anyway, she took some blood . . . dunno why. Maybe she just fancied it.

Today arrived my strop paste and brush holder from The English Shaving Company. I only ordered this stuff a couple of days ago. Crazy. In answer to an e-mail I received today - well, I've just wanted a cut-throat razor for . . . well, at least eight years, and now that I have one, having spent all that money, I might as well use it. I still can't get a fantastically close shave and I'm not sure whether this is 'cos I'm not using it right or I just didn't sharpen it properly. Hmmm . . . Anyway, forget Big Brother, this is so much better (erm . . . well, on second thoughts, maybe not that much):
