I really want to post about my Christmas, New Year, my trips to Leeds and to Worcester and so many more exciting things that happened in my life over the Christmas period - more for my own benefit than anyone's - but I guess I'll do that later. Right now I have have up-to-date stuff to report on, like my hair!

When I had shorter hair, I used to go to my local barber shop to have it cut. He's called Deano and I'm guessing that the majority of his customers all have relatively short hair and that it's become a niche for him as when I walked in after a bout of 'letting my hair grow long' (aka laziness), he recommended I start going to a salon if I want to keep my hair that long. So I did.

After a few more haircuts at salons, I wasn't convinced that Deano was worse than these 'professionals' and that he could cut hair with the best of them. Also, he reminds me of Zohan - but without the sex.

So, today I went into Urmston and had Deano cut my hair. He looked quite worried and had commented on how long it was amid being surprised to hear that I wanted to keep it long. It was all good though - he cut it, and I've had far worse from one of the salons I visited. Hurrah! Success!

Whilst I was in Urmston I went to the post office to pick up a delivery from South Africa. It's from MaxNormal.TV and is Emily's CHOMMIE toys that I posted about the other week.

I was quite excited to receive them and couldn't wait to open the box - I'm refraining from opening the little purple packets until later tonight when I'm with Emily. In the meantime, I've been listening to his CD 'Good Morning South Africa'

Today feels like a Saturday. It's Friday.

I've not long returned home from another Manchester Flickr Meet. The turnout wasn't as big as expected, which probably had a lot to do with the poor weather conditions (cold and rainy) for an outdoor based meet.

Alas, it was fun. There were lots of new faces and some friendly familiar ones. It was also the last Manchester meet for flickrite Mr Dayglo - he really is quite something special. I'll miss him!

As seems to be the way at Flickr meets, we all ended up in Kro Piccadilly and slowly disappeared into the night. I'm looking forward to see the event photos on Flickr.
