Gordon is a moron

Not just droopy, but withering.........

{:-(

Ah well, my hairdresser was there, no coiffeurial disasters, so thats okay. Pleased with my new short short short hair-cut.


courtesy of Gordon. Who is not a moron.
(not at all, actually! :o) )

But the question is, should I get my hair coloured?
Mostly I think - "No, I can't be arsed". Seems like far too much hassle, you have to keep doing it, don't you? And the grey doesn't notice toooooo much when its short. (well, no, I know it does, but I can quite easily ignore it).

But there are times when I think maybe I should think about it.
Like the times when I actually look in the mirror, or take photos of my hair (!) (not frequent) or see it trimmed off in my lap at the hairdressers.......

Hmmm, too big a decision to make at the moment I think.
(actually, I think that just means "I can't be arsed").

Today could have been another downward turn of the week because I woke up looking forward to my weaving class today, thinking it was Thursday rather than Wednesday. I realised in time, but it seems the memory is still coming and going!

Unlike my toothbrush, which has not gone missing again yet. But very like my belt, which I can't find anywhere.

This is a bit worrying. I really need a belt with my current jeans and don't have another which will do. Particularly as I've lost weight over recent months.
There is a real danger of slippage - don't want to look like one of those yoof with the crotch of their trousers down below their knees and inches of boxershorts showing.... They are mostly boys, aren't they? is this because they have anatomical features suited to holding up trousers? Can't be comfy.


But then of course, I am 46 and forget that fashion isn't to do with whats comfy.
(see - memory again)

I also forgot about the items I wanted to bid for on eBay. Well pissed-off about that. Its M's birthday later in March, and I wanted to get him an Eagle Annual No.1. Last time I looked - a few months ago - there were quite a lot of them about, going for about £20-25. This time - hardly any, and going for more. Sod's law.

My previous eBay purchase was a bit of a farce too. I wanted to get a remote-controlled Dalek for him for Xmas. I pre-ordered from Firebox in October (Dalek No.1), but it was one of this Christmas's "must-have" toys (apparently) and they couldn't guarantee getting one in time. So, being given to unreasonable panic over things lately, I bought one on eBay, paying well over the odds of course (Dalek No.2). It didn't arrive and didn't arrive - and after a couple of emails (very rude ones from the vendor) I discovered that I hadn't read all the small print, and these were pre-orders, not due till Dec. 15th. Not quick enough for an anxious person.

So I bought another one on eBay. Dalek No. 3. Not quite such a high price as Dalek No. 2.
Cancelled Dalek No. 1. The vendor of Dalek No. 2 wouldn't cancel the purchase and refund my money. Dalek No. 3 arrived. Great. Tho' spent 45 minutes trying to find an obscure delivery depot near the mouth of the Blackwall Tunnel...
Dec. 15th came and went - and I was just about to go through non-delivery of item procedures on eBay, hoping for my money back, when Dalek No. 2 arrived.....

So - We nearly had 3 Daleks. We now have 2. If anyone wants a remote-controlled Dalek, its yours for£30 (local pick-up).
Ah well. It was all worth it. He was very pleased. And I must admit, it is pretty cool, and it talks, and the sink-plungery bits swivel and light up... and everything! We call it "Kev the Dalek" in memory of Eddie Izzard.




The new Dr. Who is pretty cool as well - I thought anyone would be a big disappointment after Chris Ecclestone (who was FAB) , but the Xmas special was excellent. So far as I remember, of course.....

btw, thewebsite I gave you yesterday seems not to have been working - so here it is again, go on, its very funny and only takes 30 secs! And check out their version of The Shining.

I also think I forgot to eat any lettuce or bananas before bed last night!!! I can't quite remember!!!!!!!! but I had a sort of okay night. So maybe I'm not lettuce-dependent after all.

But I was woken by my daughter at about 2am, fortunately I got her calmed and off to sleep again. I slept okay-ish after that, except for a sneak tickly-cough-attack (had to get up to find something for that). Its hard, I'm not good at getting up in the night once I'm asleep - I think I managed to be calm and caring and patient, but wanted to wail "Oh go to sleep and let me sleep!" No sign of M., he was still downstairs in his other world.

We find out tomorrow which secondary school has given Little Gem a place for September. I can't think too much about it...... I'm sure she'll be okay, wherever she goes.... but... you know......


Hahaha - I've just looked at the tulip photo and realised that there's hardly any water there! I forgot to top them up!
They have some excuse, then, for drooping and dying.

I must remember to actually post this before I go to bed tonight.

And - nearly forgot!! - Dillo of the day, No6. about the strangest of them all (yes, its a gourd) :
