PLASTERWATCH

One of the big blogging highlights of 2006 was undoubtedly ‘Bathmatwatch’

I offer this post as a tribute to the very talented Mr. Salvador Vincent.

I call it ‘Plasterwatch’.

Even if you aren’t interested it may cheer up a few foot fetishists who pass this way. I hear they like a nice size 3.

Here’s the story: I called for Barbara on November 10th 2006. We were about to set off for a long walk. This was before she broke her ankle for the third time last year. At the time of writing she hasn’t yet broken it in 2007 - but there’s still plenty of time.

My toe was bleeding so I asked her for a plaster.10 minutes later she produced a yellowing packet from the cupboard, blew the dust off and with the aid of a pair of blunt scissors I cut a bit off the roll and stuck it on my toe.

And there it is above - in all its glory as I soaked in the bath this morning. Note the artistic ‘grainy’ texture caused by the steam.

I never imagined that a photo of me in the bath would ever be published on the internet.

I have a bath every day - so this plaster has lasted for 54 days through 54 baths.

Is this a record? Too bad that Roy Castle is long gone, and those McWhirter chaps were assassinated?

Earlier this morning I cut my finger, applied a modern Elastoplast and 10 mins later it dropped off.
