As expected, I am wearing a shirt today, so the predictable lack of belly button fluff that goes with this state of affairs was no great surprise. Five hours on a train and three behind the wheel is somewhat taxing and I am writing this in a slightly punch-drunk stupor.
However, what did surprise me was [...]

Ack! I just realised I didn’t do Belly Button of the Week this week. Here is this week’s top navel…
Remember, if you want to submit an image of your belly button to reader’s navels please do. You might even be the next Belly Button of the Week.

Friday saw a disappointing volume of belly button fluff. I was wearing a new top (brushed cotton) and thought that the new fabric might yield a nice crop of lint. Maybe it fell out when I wasn’t looking, I had a busy day on Friday and I wasn’t really checking my navel’s progress through [...]

Following the complete lack of fluff on Monday, I was looking forward to harvesting the buildup I had going on when it came time to disrobe on Tuesday night. Unfortunately my wife had other ideas.
I was laying on my son’s bedroom floor after putting him to bed; I was dozing myself and my wife decided [...]

No fluff yesterday. I was wearing a shirt all day and it obviously didn’t want to give up its very fabric of existence.
My close-up lenses arrived though. I have to experiment with them somewhat but combining all four for real close up images tends to produce a little blue and yellow colour separation around the [...]

Today has been a rather amazing day.
I had to drive to London for an hour-long meeting. Seven hours of driving for one hour’s work seems a little over the top but the drive was well worth it.
On the M4, just west of Reading and on the north-side of the road, is a fake tree. It [...]

I have a friend with a brain tumour. A few years ago he was operated on and went into remission. Things were good for a couple of years, but recently he went back into hospital in sharp decline. His tumour has started to spread through his brain and his oncologist thinks it is inoperable. It [...]

Yesterday I mentioned that there was a nice gathering in my navel and upon extraction I was not disappointed. Mother-load is a bit of an exaggeration as it isn’t once of the biggest lint-balls my navel has ever produced, but after the last few days of little or no accretion, I am overjoyed.
A full 10 [...]

Before I talk about my own belly button and its fluffy antics, I want to highlight another’s plight. The story of Jessica Collins and her terrible accident makes my recent belly button woes pale into insignificance.
Back at the end of September 2007, when on a working holiday (in Munich) Ms Collins was involved in a [...]

Panic was setting in yesterday; with not a single fibre in my navel the day before, I was checking for lint buildups frequently throughout the day, and cupboard was still looking bare. With my mind circling the dark drain of depression I was beginning to wonder if I would ever see fluff again.
Luckily by around [...]
