Yesterday I got a call from my hairdresser with a provisional appointment date. I cannot believe I am so excited to get my hair sorted. The last appointment was late February , we were going out to supper at the Ivy for Hubby’s birthday, followed by our epic Cruise to South America. See my blog http://www.landlordsontoursouthamerica.wordpress.com.
This 14 day cruise to celebrate our golden wedding was to be around Chile, Argentina & Brasil ended up being 33 days and an extra cruise around the Caribbean & Florida thanks to Covid19 and the Argentinian President! Luckily all 400 of us brits on board Coral Princess were repatriated eventually thanks to British Airways and the Government. I shall never forget my joy at finding we were in business seats only to then find no alcohol or food other than sarnies & coffee & had to spend the whole flight home with masks on 12 hours total from ship to home. The hair needed doing badly then and that was nine weeks ago!
My hair dresser is also my niece by marriage, not only a great hairdresser but a larger than life personality and a real stunner. The appointment not only gets me a posh new hair do but free entertainment from the stylists all of whom recall all sorts of hilarious tales of their lives and that of their customers….
I wonder if the new appointment which I am asked to wear a mask, wait outside until called and no cash will be as much fun as normal. Knowing the staff at Mane Place they will find the fun side of the situation and so I can’t wait until its confirmed.
