Before/after

Well, not sure what happened but I went to the hairdresser's yesterday and had a foot chopped off my hair! I didn't cry, which surprised me and I am already growing it back.... But I like it. Mum and Mark I don't think are very impressed. Mark liked it long, but it needed a good cut and it's almost up to the regrowth length and feels like my old thick hair again. It also chopped off lots of the dyed stuff. After the hairdresser I had my B12 jab at the surgery and the nurse liked it and said she had hair envy and was tempted to get her own cut. And my neighbour likes it. So I hope you all like it. And Helen? 

I had to take Harriet, the mini, to the garage just to get a clip fixed and I was reading a magazine, as one does whilst one is sitting in a car showroom awaiting their car. It was an article by a woman who has reduced her biological age to 20 when she was like 58 years old. You might have read about her, Sandra Parsons, as she's written a book about it and been in all the papers and magazines. I found it really interesting but the one thing that hit me between the eyes was the phrase 'you have to choose'. It's obviously obvious but it still slapped me hard like it had never occurred to me before. You just choose to eat a banana rather than a chocolate cream eclair. You choose to stand up and go for a walk rather than sit in a chair watching TV. Sometimes you pick the TV and eclair but as long as you mostly pick the healthy option you're winning! And the most exciting thing that works (according to this Sandra) is that a 15 minute walk has great results - we don't have to burn out at the gym for an hour or run a couple of kms. Just walk a bit. Eat a banana and you've smashed it! Though, don't quote me as I might have simplified things just a smidge. You get the general idea though. 

I found out yesterday that I'm not the only one suffering with this bloody dry mouth thing! It's almost a pandemic (are we still allowed to say stuff like that since having an actual pandemic?). My dentist recommended lots of things but one I will try is adding electrolytes to my water. I might speak to my doctor too, just in case there's an underlying problem, but to know I'm not alone is making me feel so much better! Funny, that. 

Have a great week everyone! 

PS I've realised that your probably need a front facing picture of my hair to really judge.

I finally got 8 hours sleep. It took me three days but whatever!
