...written with trepidation. As soon as you say things like that you're headed for a tumble, but time will tell. I've even got my webcam working again, thanks to R (who is enjoying his birthday and has now settled down to watch his favourite, CSI or Law and Order or perhaps both)

Last night I attempted an 'outside in the dead of night' vid with talking and everything, didn't quite work out but I'll try again. Nothing nicer than being naked out in the fresh air especially when its a little bit daring.

Better than that even - getting my mates naked. That hasn't happened for a long while though but again, time will tell.

If anyone wants a chat with cam or no then look for me on Yahoo (nakedtoby).Just mention you're from NN. All for now.

...and am on to my second - still enjoying myself.

It's R's birthday tomorrow, he's all of 29 so making him a special dinner and pressing his birthday suit.

Went to the shed this morning to take some pics, damn cold in there it was and the door kept blowing open inadvertently exposing me to the neighbours should they be looking. When I get my attic sorted that gives a lot of scope for pics as I have about a million different costumes up there - don't ask me why so more silliness on its way.

Hope everyone having a good week.

Now back online after my decorating and am at a loss as what to do next - the bathroom needs doing I know but I don't mean that - I'm talking about pics - running out of ideas. My usually lubricated, creative and imaginative brain is on a go slow. Could be because now I've decorated I can't smoke in the computer room anymore or perhaps it may be that I've peaked too soon pictorially.

I expect I'll think of something. I'd think more clearly if I had a greater number of IMs - something to look forward to. Ho hum...

A great sadness for the few, I know, but I won't be around for a couple of days as puter must be dismantled and moved, yes - you guessed it - so I can paint behind the thing. Nearly all done - thanks the Patron Saint of Painters and Decorators ( who ever he may be). Back Monday if I haven't gotten my own naked home makeover show on UKTV Home and Garden!

Been taking a few pics, as you know or are quite welcome to find out - yes, still decorating - but the issue of my ugly looking scars from two abdominal ops has been bothering me. I can live with them, have to, but bothered they might be bothering NN viewers. I could mask them more then that isn't exactly honest. I show my face, well let's face it I show everything - so I thought 'sod it' I'll show the scars too. Thoughts, as always, appreciated.

No sooner as I finished de-decorating the house after Christmas, taking down the tree etc I have to start preparing and painting the spare room. The only thing thats making it worthwhile is the documented pics I have started to put on NN of the project. Let me know what you think, of the pics, the technique, the emerging decor if you like!

Right now it's 'preparing the walls' pics, later I'll move on to the actual painting. Might be as exciting as watching the proverbial paint dry but it keeps me amused.

Two firsts - my first vid capture which I'll come to in a moment and my first request on NN.

There was a request to see my arse (which has seen better days but oh well) so I decided I'd be a little different and flash it on a vid - so far so good. Did it but then NN puts it ON HOLD because its not a WMV file. I can't make my camera change its setting to take WMV files so I thought - shit! As you do. So then came the cunning plan. Download a free converter. There was one so I duly downloaded it to find that it only converted 70% of the file.

No problem - just don't do anything intensely interesting in the last 30% of the vid and you know what - it works and all for free! No more ON HOLDS!

Forgive me for feeling smug, even if there is a simpler solution. Any more requests guys?

Anyone who has seen one of the latest Forum posts regarding delayed Verification and is concerned about, or just impatient, about the subject will have noticed the very welcome reply from NN support. The race, as far as I am concerned is now not only to see when I get verified - since I have conformed to all the rules - but also whether Olin Tyde (on my friends list) gets verified before I do!



I am planning a special pic to dedicate the moment when the Gold shining shield arrives until then I will just have to wait.

Thank you for the comments regarding my pics (especially mdguy who comments on every one) and ta too to those who have accepted 'friends' requests. Only one so far has declined.

FURTHER UPDATE: no sooner do I finish writing the above I get verified!!! Promised special pic imminent.

Feel free to add me, send messages and all the other stuff.

It's the last day of another year again - my 39th rung on the ladder of life and I'm still getting my kit off for any who want to see. My new digital camera which R gave me for Christmas helps enourmously. No more relying on the old (and slimmer) from my previous over exposures on the now deceased digital. I can look forward to taking more pics and even some vids throughout 2008.

I don't actually do it for anyone else, selfishly - just for me. Gives me a kick, a kick in the face perhaps one day when someone sees a pic and they shouldn't have been the person to see it - but I tell myself what were they doing on this site in the first place. So a kick in the face it will be, as I chose mostly to show mine. I enjoy seeing the whole of someone. The face tells me if they are enjoying the moment or trying to be sultry.

I like to get comments, being a Premium member I can delete any I find dishonest. As I say in my little introduction 'I'm not the best or the worst' I'm just me. Someone who is happy with life and partner, R. I like getting my clothes off in sobriety or otherwise. I like others to get their clothes off too, no shame in it. Straight, gay or in between.

So I shall be posting and I look forward to the odd comment, message or even request. Have a Happy New Year fellow Naked-getters!
