unklerupert’s knee

Tacheback finished 2 weeks ago. On that wonderful Sunday I treated meself to a trip to the barbers for a shave and a haircut.

Haircut was ok, but how complicated and time consuming is a number 1 all over. The shave on the other hand was a disappointment. Took 40 mins and although I was initially please (obviously) to be relieved of the weight from my top lip, I quickly lost interest when I left the barbers and found upon a quick tactile inspection (finger tip search) that my face was not as smooth as the proverbial (ala this amusing promo from Wilkinson Sword). So I had to have a proper shave when I returned home, 5 mins with a gillette mach3 and the smooth was back. No more barber shaves for me (unless someone can recommend a place that does it right)!

Here is the final gallery, I kind of ended up looking like a trailer trash from the US, which is ok as I thought it might end up with me taking up membership with the Blue Oyster Bar final amount raised for Everyman Cancer Research >>>>>>

Thanks very much to all friends/family/colleagues who have supported me and donated, as in all these cases, every little helps, thanks again. I now have a year to decide whether I will do it again, or just do a run or something next year?
