This colourful glass column is a Galileo thermometer
All day the yellow 18°C bubble has been at the bottom of the column, with the 20°C, 22°C, 24°C, and 26°C bubbles above. This means the temperature is between 18°C and 20°C, therefore 19°C, which explains why I'm wearing my poncho over my fleece, shirt and vest...
I have a blanket handy too, just in case...
Today my lovely husband BB cut my hair for me. I think it's up there with cleaning the oven as a least favourite activity, but does it with a good grace. The long straggly ends dangling onto my shoulders that have been distressing me for several weeks are all gone. I am delighted by the results, even though I had envisaged something in-between my long hair and my new short hair style... we're always being caught out by the way one's hair is so much longer when wet compared to dry.
I'm very grateful for his neat work. Visiting a hair dresser is difficult, from the point of view of avoiding respiratory infections. I always mean to try and book a mobile hairdresser to come and cut my hair out of doors in the warmer weather, and then suddenly it is winter again.
We didn't listen to Christmas carols much over Christmas. How about Vaughan Williams giving us a 12 minute fantasia on Christmas carols as a catch up?

Getting your hair cut is a great service. In this state it's illegal for hairstylists to come to private homes. They'd lose their licence. So I was the barber during my husband's homebound years.
ReplyDeleteWell I never... how do housebound people get their hair cut? Do podiatrist or other people - window cleaners, pool cleaners, gardeners - double up as hair-cutters?
DeleteI do go to the dentist, but get my eyes tested at home. I could have basic dentistry done at home too.
DeleteMy daughter trimmed my fringe for me this week. As she does that regularly, it means I can go longer between shop haircuts.
ReplyDeleteIt is 6 years since my last professional hair cut!
DeleteI'm so glad your husband was able to give you a decent haircut. Not sure I'd trust mine lol. He and oldest son do each others hair though as they both have pretty easy cuts done with a kit.
ReplyDeleteWe have evolved a method that sort of works... nothing fancy!
DeleteI used to love going to the hairdressers, and husband said that my hair was like Joseph's coat - many colours! Now I can't be bothered, and there's the whole 'getting out of the house' stuff as well. I'm glad that it turned out well for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for the Vaughan Williams. He's always a favourite of mine and I love it when you remind me of the good stuff.
Call a mobile hairdresser and feel fantastic again!
