Official - it's Sunday!

Well it's just gone 3am and it is Sunday morning. I am wide awake and my dog Tigger is asleep beside me. So where shall I start... Oh yes Friday.... Well Friday was a good day; unfortunately my little sis went home so the weeding never got finished but she did most of my ironing & left just one pair of shorts for me to iron - so I cannot complain ;-)

My friend Carole came over for me to cut & colour her hair; I still find it fascinating how different a head of hair looks after you have done the regrowth. I am sure it is the way the light hits it and reflects up the shaft of the hair - all clever stuff eh! I use Koleston Perfect tint and most of what I am using now is the new formulation - definitely getting better coverage with it plus the smell really is much nicer as well as being subtle in perfume - well done Wella!

I had left a few hours free as my next client was new to me and he had recently lost his brother in a tragic road traffic accident. Whilst I had met him a few times before at a friends party - I didn't know him that well and I thought it would be nice - if appropriate to spend some time with him just chatting. His name is Matt and he is an extremely easy guy to have a conversation with. Whilst only in his early 20's and a real boyish way about him; he is quite mature in his level of conversation. Over a cup of tea... somehow 50 minutes vanished quickly! Suddenly we had been in one another's company for three hours and I had another haircut to do so sadly we had to part. :-( That was the end of a pleasant afternoon for me... still - hopefully he was pleased with his hair and just maybe we might meet up again.

Nipped over to see my mate Andy and fix his hair and he showed me how he had managed to get a really good global position on his MacBook Pro using Google earth - he just zoomed in on his house whilst he had the GPRS installed - all vary clever stuff. We were like two kids with a new toy - sadly I had another haircut to do and so we couldn't play any longer and I had to rush off - shame really as we were just getting into things. Poor Carole - when we get together we always end up playing computers and discussing the meaning of life! Yep - we do have intelligent conversation too. LOL

My last haircut of the day didn't fancy a coffee - but I did manage to get her to have a glass of red wine (Pauline will never say no to a glass of wine). After haircut she invited me to join her and the boyfriend for a meal & so we whizzed off to meet him at The Goat - I believe it has changed hands recently and we decided to go for the carvery and we all had the roast beef - gosh it is making my mouth water just thinking of it. Had all the trimmings - yorkshire pudding and lashings of horseradish sauce - now my mouth really is watering (sad at 3:38am eh). What a pleasant way to end the evening :-)

Well Saturday morning I just had to have a cooked breakfast before work - needed to be set up for the day eh! First two cuts just went so quick - nice conversations and two haircuts later & suddenly it was 12:00! My next was a friend that I was at school with - she now lives in Spain with her husband and daughter and we had a good old chat and caught up on some of the gossip - gosh and was there some of that! There was stuff I never went on and I was quite surprised - but I won't say what as I still cut her hair. Hmm - that will have to go in a book some day ;-)

Two more haircuts and I was finished for the day - last client was an 18 year old chap that really lacks confidence and yet he is a nice - good looking young man. For some reason he lacks confidence in his looks and how to wear his hair (and he uses shower gel to wash his hair). I had to sort it out with a conditioning treatment before I started and packed him off with a bottle of my shampoo & conditioner and give him some lessons in how to maintain his hair. Sadly he is not into products - I feel it is due to the old peer pressure of those around him at school. Well hopefully I didn't nag him too much and maybe he just might do as I told him. Gonna have to work on him a bit more but hopefully I just might get somewhere with him - maybe when he goes off to uni things might change.

Rushed off to good old M&S for a treat for dinner - ah yes let's have a curry! Boy was it nice & Tigger got to sample the delights of what was left. Thought I'd do a bit of surfing whilst I watched Dr Who and then saw Mark from CutShort online and got him to sort out a few transactions that I had entered incorrectly as well as change some code in the program so I could enter some transactions in a different way - good old Mark! Somehow I managed to fall asleep on the sofa with the dog whilst watching casualty and woke up to Jonathan Ross around 1:45am ish! And the rest as they say is history :-) Now it's 3:57am and I have finally finished my blog. I suppose I can now finally try and get back to sleep - I hate it when I fall asleep on the sofa as it's always difficult to get back to sleep after - now I know I will sleep in late on Sunday morning :-( TTFN
