Hair Dos and Hats...

Up early this morning since I had an appointment at the hairdressers for 10.30 with my nice Laura.My hair seems to last about three months then it gets straggly and needs a cut and blow. I usually get VT to put the touch up colour on before I go, so it looks faily decent when it is cut. £32 for a cut and blow, but that lasts three months so not bad. She has a little girl of two,Ava, and she was telling me about their visit to Legoland last week. Can't help thinking Jane would have loved that, she was very into Duplo when she was young, had hundreds of Duplo bricks and figures, and would play with them for hours.
See them again in twelve weeks!
VT went to Formby while I was in the hairdressers, because he had a few things to do, then when he picked me up. we went along to the Garden Centre for a look round and our coffees for May. Very quiet too, even though there was a coach in the car park. They must have been somewhere else, becaude they weren't in the restaurant, it was really quiet in there. Funny thing is when we went in everybody was sitting round the edge tables..wonder why that is? VT says it's the herding instinct.
Had a look in the gift shop, where they actually have some really good things. I bought a candle from Colony which smells of baby powder, and really nice, and VT bought a new straw hat for the garden after trying on all the L and XL ones. He said they varied quite a lot...must be the way they are made. Looks really good on him..makes him look distinguished.
VT is waiting for a phone call from his bank..should have rung at three O'Clock but it is now 4.30 and they still haven't rung. Typical..I suppose as soon as we sit down for our coffee they will ring.
Programme last night, very interesting about disasters that companies have. One was the Gerald Ratner jewellery one where the company sank following his comment about c*** jewellery, and another was Sunny D. It was an orange drink that was marketed as healthy and turned out to have little or no orange in it, and all sorts of additives plus tons of sugar. I can remember Jane having that. The way it was advertised you thought it was really good for children, and Jane was addicted to it..not as much as one little girl who drank 1 1/2 litres a day, and ended up turning orange!!! Anyway, there was a massive backlash against the product, when parents realised what was in it.
Tonight we are having:
Cheese and red onion slices
Cauliflower and broccoli gratin
Squashed potatoes.
