I certify that this is a true likeness...

... of Miss Lauren Rutherford.

(If by 'true likeness' you mean this is what she looks like when she's about to cry or has just smelt something unpleasant!) I'm terrible at the whole not-smiling-but-not-frowning face you're supposed to do for passports, I always look on the verge of a breakdown.

You'll probably have guessed by now that the passport didn't turn up. Unfortunately since I'm off to Crete in two weeks with work I've had to apply for the Fast Track service, which costs an arm and a leg. Three days before payday too. Ouch.



PS: isn't my face very asymmetric? I never noticed that before :)
