    Sadly last couple of years I have had to keep it very low to try and lessen the grey over the ears :( I need to do some passport photos for clearance at my next job posting and my tight side is saying I only had it cut a month ago and it can go another month but my vain side is saying get it cut so I can use the same pics for my passport renewal next year.

    I don't think a man should worry about silver threads/ some grey hairs. I like mine :)

    Question to the laydeees to make Michaels feel better about this....

    Do you find silver threads...

    Is that the opposite of an infinity pool?

    Infinity pool is a man made pool and pumped watered made to look like its out at sea,

    whereas that is filled with sea water and the concrete walls are all too visible.
    I nearly took an infinity pool shot to be honest... by standing where that picture is and looking out - took some snaps from that direction, deliberately avoiding the infinity pool look... the surf was not only a strange colour (bad lighting time of the day) it was also as flat as a witches t1t and had a bizarre fake quality about it.

    I thought the infinity pool shot ... would have just looked a bit lifestyle/aspirational, which isn't my photography style. My style's more "here it is, look you can see it" than blurred edges and infinity shots.

    Close to, but deliberately avoiding the infinity look was this one:

    Really need to get in there while the sea's surrounding it and snap :)
    Or block up the drain pipe and go back after the tide's gone out next time.

    Well, from a single woman's viewpoint: who cares, he's 2nd hand.

    Who would he be trying to impress?

    Hey NP's

    It’s been a while since I’ve been about, mainly as a result of work, would you believe?

    Been asked to step in as a Government consultant for Local Services today, which as happy as I am, I’m debating whether to accept or not due to not really needing an additional workload, but from Geneva, all is good!

    I’ve got the gaping gap out of my car today, which comes as a result of trying to believe a parking space was bigger than it was, and coincidently walloping a wall, but apart from that, not a lot to report.

    For anyone that was a fan of Kseniya Simonova (sand artist), take a look at this which appeared on Nichieri (Georgia’s got Talent) last week.

    How are things on this end?

    CK
    💙💛 💔

    To be honest, I had no idea what was over there... they were probably 1/8th of a mile away, I used zoom

    Posh alert!

    I find George Clooney the single most attractive man on the planet, followed by Jose Mourinho and Robert Downey Jr. That should give you all the clues you need as to my views on this.

    Same age as Lydia but somehow the stress of dw, dks moving and extension seem to have suddenly resulted in the change and with my hair colour it is not a nice look...

    I thought you weren't particularly old michaels. How old if you don't mind me asking? I seem to recall you being a whippersnapper.

    Is anyone else watching Morgan Spurlock's New Britannia (Sky Atlantic)? Not the finest programme I've ever seen, but it's about immigration. They've given half of the front row the Life in the UK test and the other half the equivalent test to get US citizenship. Will be interesting to see what the results are.
