it always amazes me how one day my hair is perfectly fine and the next day way too long… and I can’t possibly wait another moment to fix it🤪…
finally got around to using the beautifully sharp scissors… well, they were sharpened in September…
they are amazing;-)… what a difference…
after a bit of trimming, I think my hair came out pretty nice…
what do you think…

my hair went from being fine… to unmanageable, in what felt like a minute, about last Wednesday… I nearly tried out the freshly sharpened scissors, but managed to hold off until this morning when I walked over to Ultracuts to get it dealt with… had to wait for a bit, so went for a walk, rather than sit inside…
the weather was nice, particularly as it was supposed to rain all day…
along the way I spotted some murals and got a nice shot of this one…
pleased with the cut…
on the way home I passed a person and said good morning… it wasn’t until I was a few steps past them that I realized it was one of my neighbours…
I laughed as I thought of how my beloved would have responded… he would have turned back, called out their name, and had a half hour conversation…
I just kept walking, lol…

I last had my hair trimmed in November, when Hilda the gardener, who is also a professional hairstylist, came to give me a cut at home…
for the last few days I’ve been struggling with it… that all of a sudden too long phase…
this morning I did some of my own trimming…
certainly no purple these days, and I do miss it…
came out nicely, lol… and feels so much better…

today I got my hair cut… at home;-)…
it was wonderful… the stylist arrived with all her tools in a little bag, including a cape…
all I had to provide was the broom and dustpan…
she did a great job and we had some tea and a visit when it was done…
happy to have a fresh cut… and nice to visit…

while at the cottage my friend gave me a haircut… it started out as a trim around my neck, but turned into a full blown cut… yay…
fun to sit outside as she worked and then just walk away from all the mess, lol…
loving how it looks… might have to hire her on a regular basis;-)…

finished tidying the house this morning and then spent time reading while I waited for my cleaners…
once they arrived I got dressed and walked over to the hairdresser to get a trim… we both noticed that my hair seems to be growing a bit more quickly right now… once it was cut there was still a tiny bit of purple remaining…
it was a nice stroll there, a bit breezy, but on the way back big snowflakes were coming down and the wind was blowing sideways… happily my son-in-law picked me up part way home…
cleaners had gone, I made tea and we had a visit before he was off to his next activity…
finished the afternoon reading;-)…
snow finally stopped and it looked so quiet and peaceful out there…
friends came by for coffee and a visit, and when they left it was snowing again;-(…

walked over to get a trim at Ultracuts after the rain stopped yesterday… came out very nice…
on my walk back home I came across a group of bikers at the gas station… made me giggle to see one person checking out their cell phone as they waited for others to get gas…
I asked if I might take his photo and he said yes and posed, lol… then I asked if he would go back to looking at his phone, because that was the shot I wanted…

had a good sleep in my own bed and spent a restful day recovering from my camping trip;-)…
back to usual patterns and started my day with a fruit smoothie, thanks to the frozen fruit my grandson had picked up while he was house sitting…
lots of tv, reading and napping…
walked over and got my hair cut…
tiniest bit of purple left in it, lol…
it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the walk… even got a few flower photos in the process… the St. James Biz have done a great job with the planters…
back home I had lunch and did more resting;-)… enjoyed time in the garden, listening to the waterfall…
cooked some pickerel for dinner…
it is always nice to come home…

today I finished wrapping the presents and put them under the tree…
also received a parcel from Ottawa with a few pieces to add to the pile:-)…
it came with a lovely card… it has a heron on it… I love herons…
was going to walk to get my hair cut but after taking out the recycling and garbage decided that it was way too slippery…
enjoying these restful days before the busyness of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day…
