December Self-Portrait
Here’s this month’s self-portrait. Apologies for the lack of fairy lights; I haven’t got into the swing of Christmas yet.

November Self-Portrait
In lieu of scary shots illuminated by a bonfire, this will have to do for my monthly self-portrait. There’s no special significance beyond the fact that I was buggering around with my mobile.

Monthly Self-Portrait
This year’s Covid & Flu jabs didn’t just knock me down for 24 hours (which is normal) but also triggered an attack of my vertigo/labyrinthitis. That makes me unstable on my feet with everything going round and blurry. A bit like this month’s self-portrait.

Monthly Self-Portrait, June
Something relatively mundane for this month’s self-portrait: a selfie headshot. I think it’s probably better than my current one.

Monthly Self-Portrait, May
We’re staying with the medical for this month’s self-portrait. As long-time readers will know I have Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, which means I can stop breathing when asleep. To counteract this, I have a CPAP machine which pumps air into my airway overnight to keep the airways open. It isn’t invasive, just a nuisance, and it does cramp one’s style somewhat. As you’ll appreciate from the image, us users are sometimes colloquially termed “hoover heads”. This is my usual sleeping attire!

Monthly Self-Portrait, April
So what to do for this month’s self-portrait, especially as I have this damned filthy cold back again? Oh well, lets have something some may consider TMI – although it’s nothing you couldn’t safely see in the gym changing room.
As long-time readers may remember, I’ve said on a number of occasions that I have a secondary nipple. This is apparently not that unusual – I bet some of you have too. It’s on the right side of my abdomen, a bit above the level of the navel. The corresponding place on the left side has just a slightly denser area of hair.
Anyway this is what it looks like, fairly close up. On the left is the actual vestigial nipple. On the right, a mole. (I’ve always had the mole; it’s nothing to worry about). Keep in mind that the area in the photograph is about 4cm wide.
