Saturday post

I'm posting a day early as I am going on holiday tomorrow (which is actually today) and I won't have the internet. Unfortunately I haven't actually come up with a topic for this post and seeing as it's 20 past midnight and I am yet to pack, I might not bother to come up with one.

But before I write about nothing, I would like to announce a sad passing. Some of you might remember last week's post about my finger nail. Well, since then the end of my nail has broken off. It's tragic really. I guess the moral of this tale is that if I blog about something it will break off, which is an excellent reason for me to not post about more 'personal' body parts.

So, onto the post.

Yep, I'm going to start right now.

Any second now...

Isn't it a nice day out? Why are you spending your time online when you could be frolicking through the hills or fields?  Go out, the internet will still be here when you get back.

No, it's not just that I can't be bothered to write a post.

Anyway, I'll be back next week and hopefully you will be too.

Fingernail

My little finger on my right hand has a long nail on it. Freakishly long. Here's a photo:

Note the handy reference coin. It's length from base to tip (bet that's the first time you've seen those words on a website that doesn't check that you're over 18 before going on) is just a bit less than 4.5 cm, or 1.75 inches.

You might be wondering why. If not take this chance to wonder why. The answer is, I'm not quite sure. I grew it a bit, then I continued to grow it. After a while it got to a point where I couldn't cut it as it would feel a waste of all the time I'd spent growing it.

So now I'm stuck with a nail that looks creepy and doesn't really serve any purpose. It means I can't make a fist, which I guess could help me if I develop anger management issues.

I had a point about this, but I can no longer recall it and as I have quite a bit of work to do I can't rewrite this post. So I'll go with it anyway.

Urm, I can paint it. I'm thinking of doing it as a rainbow. Also, there's a crack in it that I got around Easter time.

Seriously, I had a point to this. I wouldn't just write about my nail without a point. Let's just assume it was a good point and you can go away feeling inspired and enlightened.

Okay, how about a double competition: Best suggestion for what to paint my nail and best suggestion for what my point might be. The winner of both these will win, ur, a rubbish drawing by me. I really must think of better prizes. Submissions in comments. Closes two blogs from now. If I get no submissions (or just rubbish ones) I'll just draw a rubbish picture for myself. Then feel sad that I have no one to give said picture to.

Until next week goodbye. Unless I see you in real life before then, but let's face it, what are the chances of that?
