every now and then (not often) i like to briefly indulge the (whimsical) thought or one or two of you, look you see, being here looking at this blog due to some curious interest in me. mostly (predominantly) (as in likely over 99%) i would imagine what draws readers / viewers here relates to the fairly generic, if frequently random, subjects which feature.
to this end, then, yeah, this is one of those posts that all blog posts are supposed to be like, or about' a me! me! me! thing. should this be of no interest, well, thanks for reading thus far, and now might be a good time for you to look at something else. although you may wish to look at the first couple of pictures to see what my new glasses (spectacles) are all about.
anyway, on i go. i suppose this kind of post is the one i should be doing more frequently, what with my curious, unsolicited and baffling status of being some sort of "influencer" on social media, whatever that actually is. for normal people, here are some pictures of some lovely places, blemished somewhat (to what degree you decide) by my presence.
in stating the obvious, here i am, by a particularly pleasing element of the Yorkshire coastline. a most grand and sunny a day it was too, with a gentle wind tempering the heat of it all. hence the title of this post.
these are my new "D Fens" glasses. i have no idea what the proper name is for them, i just call them that because they are like the ones what Michael Douglas wore when he was the character D Fens out of the film Falling Down. one i should perhaps watch again. i just really like these half frame (rimless?) ones, and am appreciating a pair of them again after not having such for a couple of years.
yes, it might be that these frames are slightly too big for me, looking at the above. however, they were the nearest closest to what i like in frames that the eye mender shop had.
another splendid day out and about in Yorkshire, then. not quite so much wind or hint of a breeze, hence my hair not doing much of interest. just sitting there, contemplating moving from gradually going grey to rapidly going grey, it feels.
these are the other ones i quite like. massive 70s assassin or hitman style ones. yes, to be clear, it is the glasses or spectacle frames i speak of. the eye menders offered to get these ones tinted for me, or made into sunglasses. i declined, but perhaps i should have taken them up on it. a bit tinted and they would have looked even more like assassin or hitman ones, or perhaps even like them ones what The King, Elvis Presley wore from time to time.
for the breeze to really blow back my hair i suppose i should let it grow somewhat longer. this is something i give a speculative try to every now and then, but get bored or lose patience and so i go to the hair menders to get it trimmed. rare it is that it has ever gone beyond, say, "collar length", which i am led to believe is a valid measurement.
now these ones were not necessarily my choice, but i can disclose no more than that. reasonably smart, they are, and they most certainly serve the purpose for which i have them.
just what style are these glasses? hard to say, really. looking at them now, in this picture, which is the first time i have seen them properly (normally i am at the business end), i suppose they are quite like the oversized, "power frame", flamboyant, extroverted ones what mid-to-large East End cockney gangster types would wear. or Michael Caine, for that matter. it would be lazy to suggest Elton John, for he has worn every style of glasses ever invented, so far as i am aware.
where was this particular picture taken? oh, still in Yorkshire. one tries not to leave the place too often, unless really quite essential. says he who has left the place often, but anyway. this is from one of the more southern aspects of Yorkshire, and as you can see is not really anywhere near the coast.
unlike the above picture, which was indeed taken by the Yorkshire coast. a little further south than the previous, and on a most decidedly (but not entirely disagreeably so) less sunny day. a bit of a breeze, though, hence my hair doing some interesting things.
i quite like this picture, and yes indeed i am "rocking" the D Fens frames in it. normally i am not at all comfortable looking at pictures of myself, and i have always suspected i am in a possibly slight majority to feel this way. still, the poor lighting, the obscuring of details makes it most agreeable for me. if any of you happen to like it, or me, well then so much the better.
and so another one in which i am seemingly lurking in the shadows, but this time on a much sunnier day. yes, indeed, they are them boss 70s assassin / hitman glasses i have on.
this was out in a particularly lovely, friendly and most beautiful of picturesque places in Yorkshire. for some reason the locals, and i use the term affectionately, seem to promote their place in the world purely with trains and sheep. i found it to be most wonderful without really experiencing either of those to any great length.
final one, then, of me out somewhere in Yorkshire with a bit of a breeze and some overcast weather conditions. again i find myself thinking i look "not so bad" in this one, bar the stray hair off of the breeze, and i suspect that is to do with this all being shadow related.
well, i think that's this post done. if for some reason you have a weirdly specific interest in just me, and that's why you visit this blog, nice one. for everyone else, who i presume to be a majority, no doubt normal service will resume with the next post, or soon thereafter.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
