Day 75: I Am Getting Old
In preparation for my imminent trip to Canterbury to see the Cathedral and that, I have been in the bathroom looking at my face. I looked at my nose a bit and saw a hair growing out of the inside of it, so pulled it out with tweezers. That only happens to old men, doesn't it?

And not particularly old men too.
It's the hairs that grow on the outside of my nose that took me by surprise. No one ever warned me I would occasionally need to shave my nose. Most disturbing.
Noam Chomsky has a very hairy nose.
I went out with someone who had one hair that grew out of the end of his nose. He didn't do anything about it, even though I offered to pull it out. Then we went to Bath, and one morning he was reading the Ordnance Survey map endlessly clicking his teeth on his fork and I went, stop it, STOP the teeth on the fork thing, it drives me mad. Then we went to dinner with some of his best friends. They had all been at Cambridge together and were Christians. They were 30, and looked shocked when I swore by mistake. He was also a Christian (but not one with a guitar) who had a 'very personal relationship with God', and wore very tight red corduroy trousers that gave him a monobutt. That single relationship is living proof, to any man that has any doubt about these things, that if you endlessly and relentlessly persue someone, sometimes they give in.
We split up at some traffic lights in Croydon.
I personally am wondering why I'm still cursed with acne at this advanced age. I mean, crows feet AND pimples?! How completely unfair!
I have a blond hair that grows on my right cheekbone every couple of months or so. I'm thinking of dabbing it with Weedol...
I've been doing that for years and on average manage two a day. I admit that i don't alwyas use tweezers either. Every so often the hair i pull out is pure whit which alway manages to put me in a bad mood for the whole day.
Everyone has nose hair- some are more prominent than others :)
I sympathise with Lee. Once tried to squeeze a blackhead on my nose and a hair reversed its way out from the inside.
What a terribly marvellous blog. This has made my Sunday.
Marginally.
