Hair Today Gone Tomorrow...

Up early this morning because I had a hair appointment at 10.30. It's surprising that however early you get up, you still leave the house in a rush. Got there n time though, hate being late for anything. I go to the same place about every three months or so, and have the same girl. My last girl left to spend more time with her baby, so had to get used to another, but she's ok. Did a good job today, a nice layered bob is what I have with a fringe, to cover the wrinkles, and just below the ears to cover the hearing aids!! What a scream. Vin waited outside for me, and walked over to the library to take some books back, and he got some others he hadn't read before. He likes books on local history, and that library had some different ones. Home for coffee after getting some petrol on the way. What a price thaat is getting to be now. Enjoyed a programme last night called 56Up. This is a docummentary which is shown every seven years, and has followed a group of children from all walks of life every seven years . Fascinating programme. I have seen them all now, and feel like you have grown up with the children. One boy a little Londoner from a care home, ended up in Australia, and we saw him last night in a happy and stable relatinship with two children and five grandchildren. Lovely to see how they had turned out, not what you would have predicted I don't think.Maybe the most controversial was Neil, who was such a sweet boy at seven, fresh faced and full of ideas. He wanted to be an astronaut or failing that a coach driver. Went a bit astray in his twenties, dropped out of university, and wandered round Scotland. He is now in Cumbria where he works as a Liberal Democrat councillor. Clearly had mental issues but seems to be OK now. Fascinating programme. Look forward to the next one on Monday. Quite sunny today, but still cool. I read in the paper that in Gran Canaria they have had a heatwave with temperatures of 100* and english tourists are dropping like flies. One man died while on a walking tour!!! can you believe that, a walking tour in those temps. You wouldn't do thaat here. Funny old world this is. Tonight we are having: Crustless cheese flan With sauteed new potatoes Small tin of something tomatoey, Mushrooms.
