Hair loss
I’ve had my hair cut by the same hairdresser for over 50 years. From my Afro days, through preppy adman styles, mad professor manes to today’s hair hide-and-seek, the job’s got much easier as the output has got less.
I’ve been thinking recently I’m due a bit of a loyalty discount. Time for another haircut tomorrow. I’ve asked for a deal!
The hairdresser clearly wasn’t happy about this. “Cut your own hair then! I’m not remotely qualified and don’t you dare imagine I like winging it! And what’s more, it’s high time you helped with the bloody housework!”

I made the mistake of showing this to Mrs H. She wants the truth to be told and the record to be put straight. 1. She has never complained about this onerous task. 2. She never swears or talks like that 3. There is no question of any discount because it’s free anyway.
Now that really is the truth... but would result in an ever duller drabble, or in fact, no drabble at all! -

Kudos to Mrs. H for demanding clarification!
I'm my own barber now. All I need is a razor, a mirror (with an extra one for seeing behind my head), and a handful of shaving cream!

Cheap and convenient, isn’t it Christopher? My younger son is using the same cost-saving strategy.

Even though I miss having hair I must admit it's a lot easier. And I'm aerodynamic now!

As someone who doesn’t like flying I wouldn’t think you would worry about being aerodynamic, Christopher!

Well, it's mainly for driving fast in convertibles!

Enjoyed both the twist and the setting straight of the record. )

Thanks Jamie. Mrs H never swears, is very polite and almost never raises her voice... which itself was apparently the secret to her success as a primary school teacher. But her looks could (can still) be very scary!🥴
