Got up at 8am today… after going to bed at 2… fell asleep sometime around 5…
Actually got woken up in the middle of my first real sleep in the last five days! Bah.
Anyway, I’m a day behind on the photos now and I imagine I’ll only slip further behind as I reeeally need to try and sleep right about… now.
But we went out into the Atlantic today, up along the west coast of the Faroes. Alongside some huge, nay ginormous, cliffs (about 500 meters tall — imposing!) There were some puffins but they were very small even at the end of my largest penis extension (i.e. telescopic lens). I look forward to getting up close and personal with them next week.
Tomorrow features the Eating Of The Whale. We had to rummage around the city to see if anyone still had some from the last whale hunt… and we found some! Their hospitality here is truly amazing (the hunk of dark-black whale flehs that I’ve been given is worth about £500…!)
For now, you get three photos of me on the prow of the ship. Possibly having a bit of a Titanic moment (though without the inevitable iceberging…)
The second photo actually features a real, live smile. Save it to your harddisk; it’ll be worth something one day.
(They’re laughing at me. ‘Damn tourists…’)
(Just gathering my balance; not very easy to do out in the Atlantic… and look, a smile!)
(They didn’t actually do this bit in the film. But I felt that I hadn’t made a big enough fool of myself, so, y’know…)

Aww, look how HAPPY you look!. Must work on shopping out the boat for the WALK ON WATER moment. Don’t lie.. that crossed your mind, I know it did x. Hope you get some sleep.

You’re the spitting image of Leonardo DiCaprio.

I’ve just been told that the piece of whale is probably nearer £500 in value… better edit that, whoops!
DiCaprio, really?! I thought Farrel was already pretty awesome…
I hadn’t even contemplated it Abi. I am obviously very Moses in your mind…!

That second pic is great! You should sneak smiles in more often. And you don’t look enormous at all! What lens do you use for that?

Haha, Titanic has ruined it for all of us; I can’t go near the bow of a ship without striking the obligatory pose. Love the smile!

I wanted my host to put his arms around me so that we could do it PROPERLY… but gayness and homo-eroticism hasn’t quite arrived on the Faroe Islands yet.
Shame… It didn’t really feel complete, out there on my own, trying to keep my balance and not fall over-board…
Melissa — I know! I look tiny, eh? He’s actually about a foot above me and the distortion on that lens (towards the edges) does make it look a bit odd (a bit like those wacky mirrors you might find in a haunted house…)
I thought his ‘below average’ (tall for the Faroes) height would balance it out, but instead I just look a bit like an Oompa Loompa.

Those are seriously awesome poses, sebbie. Views look great.
Ps. So how does a whale taste?

Are you wearing the same outfit you wore in the mod-pic from the other day?
Is it your new ‘modelling’ outfit?
Ahhh, it’s nice to see you so happy Sebsta and glad to see you’re havin fun in the Faroes.

I am actually! Well noticed. But that jumper was brought with for the sole purpose of being worn at sea as it’s rather warm!
So, merely coincidental
Whale tonight, Andhari… I will be sure to let you know.

I’d have done the Titanic pose too, accompanied by hearty shouting “I’m the king of the world! Woo-hoo-hoo!”.

At least you remembered to take a coat with you XD Kudos on managing to fit a Titanic moment in there, you should have also shouted “I’ll never leave you Jack!” at a random passenger, for added effect

Now you just need your female Rose and these pictures would be perfect.
…nevermind. You look perfectly happy without her.
