Crikey! Well, I *am* whittling a whittling at the moment, but it's still some time away from completion. I have focused on digital & media whittling with GreyHair.

Here, for those who haven't followed it elsewhere, is our latest thang for the Environment Agency and East Lindsey Borough Council, done last week:

I saw you post that, looked fun!

It was. Though there was a thunderstorm while Shanaz was stuck up a cherrypicker. The lightning didn't dare.

And in a further desperate attempt to bolster CmB ratings, here is an ancient whittling you may not have seen before:



It's called the Albigensian Heresy. It measure the ratio of good to evil in any given place.

Is it one metre tall, photographed with some tilt-shift technique to appear small?

It's actually taken with a scanning electron microscope.

Apparently I don't have permission to see that photo. This wouldn't have happened if you'd have linked to Google Plus.

No, it's just you I've blocked.

He certainly is, although some parts look more chiselled than whittled.

Base turned on my wood lathe. Jaw chiselled, as Mr. B infers.

I meant the Facebook image. I have you in a Google Plus Circle called, "Probable Sex Offenders".

Only probable? What further evidence do you need? I shall bugger a choirboy on your table at the next Northern Meat.

Gonna do Ramadan yet again this year in sympathy with Ms. G & Rosie, but cheating a bit - I'm permitting myself water when I work out. The times are really tough this year, though: http://www.ramadantimes.co.uk/html/cities/Bradford-ramadan-timetable.htm

Anyone fancy joining in for a few days, either for the challenge, quick & dirty weightloss or spiritual gain? Your souls are damned to hell anyway, so that last one's a bit pointless.

A few people in my group at work/uni have asked if I wanted to do it, but I'd definitely have to cheat with drinks during the day, though the quick & dirty weightloss idea isn't a bad one!

That first 4am till 9pm stretch looks a bit bloody daunting.
