So it took me most of a day...

...but I'm still quite proud of how it turned out

Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man

I sort of ended up commentating while trying out my new safety razor (it's a Merkur 38C for those in the know).

me: I'm about to try and use my new razor, so I may die

Brother: why is a cutthroat?

me: if so, tell mum and dad that despite appearances, it was no suicide

Brother: is it?

me: No, it's a safety razor. Which is the worst name i.e. one that takes actual razor blades

Friend: SO, I am thinking. Perhaps it's a glorious idea to roll over to the [Staff Bar] in a bit?

me: I'm in my bathroom, I just got out of the shower. I'm wearing a self heating facemask

Friend: I see, I see. Why the facemask?

me: Oh, I had one from a set of shaving things for christmas. It seems prepping is really important. Also, I'm totally naked. How do you like that?

Friend: fantastic. I'm in my office. So I'm pretty clothed right now

me: My word, using a shaving brush is fun.

Friend: You should be blogging about this experience.

[two or three minutes pass]

me: Okay. I'm bleeding

[a few more]

me:

What I am currently listening to

Friend: bleeding already eh?

[another couple]

me: And I think we'll call that a day. Mainly I've got some big cuts around my throat. It looks good, but it's uneven to the touch. Some bits are incredibly smooth. Others have that post-mach3 bit of stubblyness. All in all, I'm calling that a massive victory.

Friend: Not bad, not bad.Not sure this music was appropriate for you man ;)

Self fulfilling prophecy

Actually it was a menu

Coffee sink

No, I do not understand either

Does exactly what it says on the tin

Frankly, I am not entirely sure why this made me smile so much. It might have been that the tiny bucket was there for a week or so before somebody decided it needed a label. I worry what it was used for in that time

SWIMMING POOL

Greenhouse!

Transform into...

Voodoo lady

Creme brulee with balsamic vinegar and thyme. Pretty swish. As you have guessed from the plate, I did not make this

Dragon house

Blois can be a bit odd when a seemingly normal house becomes a dragon. I think it may have been something related to a museum. Maybe

No thanks

This is pretty much exactly why british cuisine has such a poor reputation
