The requested photos
Pictures of the chickens have arrived 
Unfortunately the [for want of a better word] photographer wasn’t great (thankfully he’s marginally better at photography than website design) so the images aren’t the best in the world.
The terrified looking chicken [first image] is Emma. For those who know Emma (or should I say knew, she’s now moved to the Dark Side and is full of anger and hate… I’m so proud of her ) many things in life scare her, me being one of them, so the default expression when I first met her was very similar to that of her namesake. By default this makes the other chicken Cassandra [second image].
For those who care (and lets face it, who doesn’t?) eggs will be forthcoming when they are 4-6 months old so I might get some in August/September as they are 12 weeks old (or at least Jason thinks they are 12 weeks old and his ‘big book of chickens’ said 4-6months old for laying).
The bipedal hominid looking chicken (i.e. not a chicken at all Goron) [third and subsequent images in case you hadn't worked it out by simple face recognition or process of elimination - not the last one though, thats a camera bag] is me, resplendent with new hairdo (its like I just stepped out of the Salon, and yes, I know the new hairdo is almost identical to the old hairdo but the hairdresser said I had lovely hair, should keep it and just put more layers in and shaped the front a bit more so ner!), purple and white shirt and beer gut. Not the worlds best photos but I’m still learning about this self portrait thingy (And no, this paragraph wasn’t meant to spend most of its life in parenthesis but I can’t be bothered to go back and reword it and fix up the grammar to get rid of them, deal with it).
Tomorrow the notblack theme will continue with, depending on the weather, a white linen affair or a dark blue cotton effort. I’m keeping it simple as I am [hopefully] meeting up with Blue after school to impress her with my camera (and ideally so she can impress me with her portrait photography skills so I can have many natural photographs to put up on the dating sites to entice the laydeez ) . I think impressive kit [last picture, note: not all of its there as someone has borrowed my wide angle lens and flash] and an impressive shirt [see above] would just be too much for the poor girl. Of course, she’ll out iPod me. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this.
The post has been bought to you by the symbols ( and ) and the number 12.
One two three four five, six seven eight nine ten, eleven twelve. Twelve. Twelve Twelve! One two three four five, six seven eight nine ten, eleven, twe-eh-eh-eheh-elve (and if you’ve never seen Sesame Street that will have made absolutely no sense to you what so ever).
Its been an awfully long day
Will do my best, but can only be as good as my teacher. And I might not out ipod you at this rate. I can’t be bothered to go through my music folder and load anything onto it! But if I do, you gotta give me that!! I mean, you have a nice camera that I would kill for and your own flat!!!
Strewth! what a transformation!
For some reason I was expecting wide stripes, but this is almost tasteful. If I was a laydeez I’d probably be impressed.
You need to work on the beer gut though… that’s hardly a stable platform to rest your pint of lemonade.
Why you no smile?
Ah - the no smiling thing is a bad habit. I am very conscious of my teeth so only smile properly when caught unawares. Thrusting a camera in my face (especially when it’s me doing it) is a sure fire way to get a closed mouth forced smile if anything. I find the grumpy look is less put on
Hopefuly Blue will be able to get some of me smiling tonight.
You could just go for veneers, it seems all the rage now and would further pull the laydeez.
Its an idea, although sounds expensive. My current plan of attack is using uber toothbrush and whitening toothpaste which, now I don’t smoke any more, seems to be working (albeit very slowly).
[...] days I have bought a further 5 shirts today (although two are repeats on what I have already in a purple stripe and white linen as I liked those) so hopefully I will have enough shirtage to last between ironing [...]
