Hair Thinning

We're off into town today to get our hair cut and noon, and with little to do before that there doesn't seem too much point in getting up early. Well that was my plan anyway, but it didn't quite work out like that.

You see despite the fact that I have no need whatsoever to get up at 6.30 am this morning, my body has decided that in fact I should be up for no apparent reason. I do try to go back to sleep, but with little avail. So I give in and go downstairs. It's 6.45 am and I'm stuck in front of the TV watching cartoons and stuffing a bacon sandwich to nullify my complaining stomach.

And what I do for the next 3 hours it pretty much as above. Phil gets up at around 10, and I then start to get ready to go into town - we need to leave at about 11.30 to get there in good time.

I'm now plonked in front of a mirror in the hairdressers, with the dreaded question being posed of "what would you like done?" I've got no idea at all, so I tell the hairdresser that I'm going on holiday and need my hair to be more manageable for that. With a rough idea of what she needs to do she then sets about thinning my hair out - and by god does it need it. The hairdresser guesstimates that my hair is so thick its the equivalent of having 2 heads of hair on one head, now thats a lot of hair! But by the time she's finished my hair has some shape and because she's taken all the weight out of it the wave that is in there has suddenly sprung to life - which actually looks quite cool!

With our hairs cut we then go get some lunch at Greasy Slut (AKA Pizza Hut) which was very nice, and then do enough shopping that both of our feet are killing us.

The queue for the bus back to the park and ride is massive, and whilst we are waiting there Phil disappears for 5 mins. I've no idea where he has gone, the bus has turned up and he has the tickets. So I'm not going anywhere. But, just as the last of the people are getting onto the bus he reappears donning a bag from The Natural World, and when I ask him what it is, he tells me its a surprise for me.

I get to open my pressy on the bus, and he's got me a Triassic Triops kit! Hheheheh! I'd seem them ages ago in the shop and desperately wanted one, but we didn't have time as the bus had arrived and we had to go. But now I have one, and I can grow my own mini monster! I can't wait to give it a go!

Back home and we spend the rest of the day doing very little, except we watch The Woodsman which is boring enough that we switch it off and decide to watch the end tomorrow.

But for now, its time for shut eye.
