I have been sifting through the piles of Polaroids and chucked away a good half of them and am now thinking of cutting up a few to just take the good bits. I shall rub them between my fingers to increase the contrast/ colours, depending on how I rub.<br />Then it will just be a case of sellotaping them in the right order into the album and adding a few choice phrases.<br />That can't be too difficult, having re-read a few of my later TGO Challenge efforts...<br />A bit like buses, I'm sure a few will be along in time, but probably nose to tail...<br /><br />Hope that clears things up!

You mean to say that all that hacking and shaping and trimming and nurturing have all gone un-noticed all these years? Were it not for the shaving kit my beard would cover my face.

I was convinced you had a beardy thing on your face but here you have a shaving kit included. I must stop staring lovingly into your eyes when I next see you and instead check out your chin to see the real level of beardyness.FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-14266449267110175242015-05-26T18:39:07.494+01:002015-05-26T18:39:07.494+01:00It also wasn't proofed properly, which it is n...It also wasn't proofed properly, which it is now.<br />I used it most of the winter and it was fine, inc Lakes and Gorms trips as welll as on Norfolk Coastal Path.<br />Anyway, now I have to use a layering system cos I is no longer a fat git init.<br />Andrew Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744521212967848460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-15679781023940417682015-05-07T15:21:23.353+01:002015-05-07T15:21:23.353+01:00Enjoy your crossing!
