Yes, I dug it up again.
No, it didn't smell any better this time. In fact, it now officially reeked and I may have gagged a little.
On the other hand, after 2 months in the ground I think it's coming along nicely.
I also apologise unreservedly...and please, enjoy your meals.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Hahaha I seriously stumbled upon this with a mouth full of cucumber. I was like..."Is that...meat?" And then I read your caption. What a completely awesome (if disgusting) idea. You officially rule.
@scolgs One thing I learned this morning...don't inhale... @maggiemae What neighbours? @bigugly LOL, Yes indeed...nearly... @nanderson Brave is one way of putting it...it's vile and well buried again... @keclark Thank you kindly - I like to lull people into a false sense of security and then do something like this, as vile as it may be ;)
@graemestevens I think I just might. I do have to applaud your persistance with that damn beast. However, if it has a ghost, it will surely haunt you now!
@juliedduncan Welcome to the club... @kt8ird That's probably where I've gone wrong @eyeamlisa I hadn't thought of that...mind you, if it decides to haunt me I'm sure I can give it a run for it's money @golftragic And then some...
Oh my gosh! A sheeps head - while I'm eating my lunch! You could just pop it into some lime - doesn't that take the flesh off it. It does in all those cops shows!
Thanks for that , I fortunately had finished my lunch except for a piece of apple that Mr Hermann gladly devoured . Must make a note to myself re Mr Stevens posts on 365, maybe not to view during lunch. Rock on :))
Beetles....flesh eating beetles....they do a lovely job getting it right down to the white bone....but I'm not so sure how they feel about the charred bits..
@susale thank goodness for that - we can't have you going hungry! @deak68 Now there's an idea - where can I get some? @spikez It was truly vile...and I have a few ideas...
I'm glad I had a shot or two (not the photographic kind) before running across this. Should you choose, this would also fit the tag oct14words for the day's word - bones. Just sayin'.
Way too many animal lovers on this site. I can't tell you here, Graeme, what my dad used to bury and dig up 2-4 months out to use as bait. The stench is what he was aiming for. I will tell you it was "aged" in quart jars. *shudders at the memory of that smell*
@voiceprintz I had forgotten about that tag, thanks. As for the smell...delightful...and at least this way the bugs are getting something out of the transaction as well!
Looked again. If not forget subject and just look loosely at it it looks like an abstract painting my two year old brings home from preschool, colours all mushed into one brown muddy mess.
Eeeeuuuw, but good on you for doing this! Erm, if you are far enough away from other people, why don't you start another fire and boil it? won't that get the remaining goop off? Oh, and a clothes peg might help instead of a mask? (Or as well as?)
@gigiflower I would imagine so - we're just meat and bones as well @karlow75 Not going to call you crazy because it is a deserving candidate...can I stomach the smell??? @kareenking Thank you very much - the first thing that came to mind for me was 'why am I doing this' but I do know the film... @annied That's me! It's looking pretty 'good'...another couple of months and it should be just peachy. @taffy Agreed and thanks @tonygig My two hounds were more than interested @ounooi I completely agree @bill_fe Anything would smell better than this did.
What in earth is this I have come back to Graeme.......is that it's eye I am wondering.......very interesting & I could cope fine with all this gore if it wasn't for the pong but as I can't smell it do your worst!
I was not quite sure what I was looking at but comments above enlightened me! Fascinating just the same, a bit weird but then it makes you so interesting!!
@roseolivia Are we still talking about the photo? ;) @mamamayerle I am, I am...and so am I! @brigette There are indeed, which is precisely why I did this in the middle of the day ;) @annied Thank you most graciously :)
As a newbie, just come across your beautiful shot. Having 'processed' a number of animal remains myself, I empathise enthusiastically. And will start photographing more of my work. Thanks
Is that the sheeps head you set on fire ???
@maggiemae What neighbours?
@bigugly LOL, Yes indeed...nearly...
@nanderson Brave is one way of putting it...it's vile and well buried again...
@keclark Thank you kindly - I like to lull people into a false sense of security and then do something like this, as vile as it may be ;)
@kt8ird That's probably where I've gone wrong
@eyeamlisa I hadn't thought of that...mind you, if it decides to haunt me I'm sure I can give it a run for it's money
@golftragic And then some...
@hermann Sorry about that. I promise that tomorrow's shot will be much nicer.
@deak68 Now there's an idea - where can I get some?
@spikez It was truly vile...and I have a few ideas...
@ceilidh because it's Graeme

Hat's off to your continued experiment.
@newbank Yes, okay...glad you've eaten. Can't be having you going through the day hungry.
can't wait - have to keep checking on it - it really is coming along nicely
@gigiflower I see no reason for humans to be much different
