MORE OF THIS AND THAT



1.   I’ve changed my hairstyle. Fed-up having to set it every morning, I rebelled and went straight. It’s the norm now, isn’t it? Every female I see has long straight hair. I might be too old for the long but can carry off the straight. Funny how it makes me feel younger.

2.   Sad about England’s Football Team in the World Cup.

3.   Pleased about Wimbledon, even though I wasn’t rooting for anyone in particular.

4.   Tidied a box of bits and bobs. Amazing how many bits and bobs that still seem too important to chuck out.

5.   Charlie has a cute nose. I tell him daily that I love his little nose and he puts his head up so I can touch it.

6.   Early morning huskiness wears off as the day progresses. Wish it would wear off a bit earlier.

7.   I am not the only one who can’t understand women on TV. Their speech seems to have changed to low key, fast mumbles. The men are okay, though.

8.   What on earth has Google done to my email set-up? Without warning I have lost all saved mail. Having to adjust/learn three new systems is a pain.

9.   I had a thought for item No.9 but forgot it by the time I reached the computer.

10.  Found a new hairdresser who comes to the house. Only wanted a haircut but the saving of £35 compared to what I paid at a local salon plus taxi rides was more than welcome.

  1. You're right, Valerie, straight hair seems to be the norm now. We have so many customers in our store that are looking for straightening products. Back when I was a hairstylist in the 80's and 90's, everyone wanted to be curly or wavy. Funny how styles change.

    "Only wanted a haircut but the saving of £35 compared to what I paid at a local salon plus taxi rides was more than welcome."

    That's fantastic! The price of haircuts in the US have gone up dramatically since I've been in the business. Which is why I cut my own hair. Why should I pay for something I know how to do?

    "Charlie has a cute nose. I tell him daily that I love his little nose and he puts his head up so I can touch it."

    OMG...how cute! My two favorite things about cats are their nose and their ears. I also love the soft pads of their under paws.

    Have a lovely weekend, my friend!

    X to you and Charlie

    1. Hey Ron, I wish I could cut my own hair. On second thoughts, by having someone come in to do it gives me someone to talk to. It gets a bit quiet now.

      I mentioned that about Charlie because he is still a very solitary untouchable animal so it's good that he's come round to quite liking me.

      You to have a good weekend, although as I write this there's only a day left!

  3. I have lots of books that I will probably never read again. But they are like old pals and I wouldn't nay couldn't part with them. Good post

    1. I agree with you about books. I have a bookcase full, some that I wouldn't read again and some that belonged to my late husband. I just can't chuck those.

  4. You have a hairdresser who comes to the house??? How wonnnderful!

    I do not care to have a lot of blow-drying and etc. to do to my hair, in the morning. I keep it short. With age, it tends to almost-curl a little... So there is a tiny bit of "movement" to it. Not stick straight.

    Easy is the operative word!

    It is the operative word, with everything, at my age!!!! -grin-

    1. A lot of folk have their hair done at home. It seems to be all the rage where I live. The older I get the less hassle I need so I decided to give up the rollers and go straight.
