I took this not long after having a shower, which is why my hair is wet. I've tended to make a point of having a shower the day before my birthday, it feels like a symbolic gesture - a washing-off of the year left behind. Most people might have these washings-off pretty much every day, but I've never been a believer in such things. I started this ritual the day before my 15th birthday. 14 had been a difficult age, bringing a certain amount of bother with it. A week later I got suspended from school.
It's just as well I don't shower too regularly.

Happy birthday, old man. I reckon you'll get away with the jumper for a few years yet.
Thanks, missus. And thanks for averting the monumental hissy-fit that was brewing when i thought that absolutely none of my readers were going to wish me a happy birthday. Christ, I'm needy.
There there.
There there.
Happy birthday.
It's going to be ok.
I'm just glad you showered.
Uncie Radge - Cheers. But what if it's not?
Darren - The big stupid head on you in that picture.
Ah go 'way and shite. And shave while you're at it.
*runs off to change picture*
I shaved not long after I took that picture. My face is back to that scratchy, just-a-little-longer-than-stubble feel that your da told me he likes so much.
Ah, so it'd about the same length as your ma's? Nice.
RIDE!
I love a man with a good beard.
Happy Birthday to you too.
Ah, I missed your birthday!
But you're still YOUNG, there's lots more to come, I'll get you next year.
I've been procrastinating but there really wil be cake, I promise.
apparently only 2% of us do, Dublinista.
I saw that 2% statistic too and instantly shouted "BOLLOCKS!" at the telly. Lovely beards. (Oh and belated happy birthday sir.)
Dublinista - RIDE! yourself. Presumably. And cheers.
Jo - "there's lots more to come, I'll get you next year."
Oo-er, sounds like I should be expecting more than cake, then.
Rosie - Well, if you and 1 in every 50 other women still fancy me then that'll do.
Kitty Cat - Thank you. Call around for tea sometime.
Happy late Birthday, you look like a serial killer in that photo heheheh.
