Today's feature photo was taken yesterday in the early evening. I ended work slightly later than the norm, and made my way due north, towards a birthday do thrown in honour of one Master William Hunt, a keen young musician that I happen to know. Worth noting perhaps, his birthday song is "Bump N' Grind" by one R. Kelly (one hopes he doesn't pick up Mr Kelly's filthy habits). Nice try Will, but as fun and bumping and grinding may be, it falls some way short of Hotel California!
ANYWAY. The sun was setting, the moon already high and I'm running a little late. But presented to me was an opportunity to snare a halfway decent shot (for once). Yet I knew that the camera's batteries were low, very low. Could I possibly be audacious enough to try? What about the filthy graffiti that I would be bound to find on my journey? But the light is going and the colours are bleeding from the sky quickly. So I tell myself I must take this chance, I have a very important blog and millions (dozens) of anxious internetters to please!
So here we have it, slightly lopsided, not - as Benjamin has speculated - due to a shorter left leg. Nor is it down to a 'theatrical gait', as claimed by one Dr J.L. Hallam. No, I like to think that it is explained by an entirely natural swagger. One cannot help such afflictions, we just try to get through each day as best we can. It is hard, but I mustn't grumble.

P.S. I'll have to ask around to get the right answer to your query about the kids' haircut.
I think if my parents were involved in the branch of a church where they had to shave the front of my hair off, I would have endevoured to talk them into another branch!
