  • As soon as you pass 50, hairdressers start trying to sell you short layered cuts with a lot of different colours/shades “to hide the grey”. Said hairstyle requires VERY frequent maintenance cuts/colours to look anything like good. And so consumerism is served, and the middle aged and older women are reminded yet again that they have to spend a lot of money to continue to be acceptable members of society.

    Which is total bullshit from where I stand. I LIKE my grey hairs (only they’re silver not grey). And my raggedy hair chop that I do myself with clippers. I call it my Coyote cut (not a wolf cut). And if other people have a problem with that, then it is by definition their problem. I will die on this hill.








  • I’ll do it if no one else wants to. Will be up until then anyway as waiting on a call my from my son in Florida USA. Some good news to come from there I hope - his wife has just landed a job in Germany so I hope this call will be confirmation that they’re moving there later this year. The difficulty is extracting my son from the toils of NASA without anything too restricting in the form of confidentiality agreements. Which could impact his work options. They’ll be going anyway, but he would like to work in his field if possible.
