For your kind words on my new haircut. Almost a week later and I’ve only wet it once. I was too scared to lose all the styling and product the hairdresser put in there – with good reason. It fell flatter than my attempt to bake a decent butter cake.

Now, sometimes, when I pass a window and catch a glimpse of my reflections, I am struck by my resemblance (real? imagined?) to one of the Golden Girls.

Adam now calls me his elf, after his World of Warcraft (WoW) cyber-lusts.

I’m not sure which I prefer, frankly 😉

(Well, yes I am…)
