Hair Update
Well it's not magically grown a lot since last week, but I have started experimenting with hair bands, and also trying a centre parting too.Ann found me a selection of them on Amazon which I bought, all metal ones with different profiles. I've worn one out on my run this morning, it worked well, stopped it all flopping in my eyes.
Also bought some hair spray, which seems to work great in keeping the centre parting too. A lot less messy than wax or gel and it doesn't look oily or wet either. I've never really had long hair before, so it's all new to me.
I will need to look at dying it, it seems like more grey is showing the way I am wearing it now. I shall investigate options, watch this space !
Took the Morris for a spin out to the local Sainsburys (in man mode) , and filled her up with some petroleum on the way back.
Had never driven it at night before, the headlights seemed to be pointing where they should, it was good to get it out !
Thursday - Chameleons
It had been a while since I had done full makeup, and my left eyeliner wing did not go well at all, I
think I wiped it off and re-applied at least three times.
I was still ready fairly quickly, and didn't spare the horses on the way down, so I arrived pretty early.
Ann was also there early too as she had been shopping at the outlet before coming, was good to see her again, it had been quite a while since had met in person.
It was a very good night, well attended, my friend Danielle who I often see at LFF and Invasion turned up too, with a broken wrist though. I think she had come the previous week, but I had skipped that one due to covid.
There was a new person who seemed very friendly, seems like she enjoyed herself and is likely to come back.
I ate lots of biscuits which had been kindly purchased by Ann, but I had been pretty good that day with a slim fast for lunch, so hopefully didn't do too much damage.Did some photo's at the end for a few people, Lynn included, and managed to get a selfie of us both,
I gave Joanna a lift back on the way home, didn't end up needing to charge so it was a fairly quick journey, although I did stop at Woodhall has I was sure the car was making a weird noise - but nothing seemed awry.
The Weekend
Friday I could have gone to Birmingham, but I was really tired still from Chams, so I decided it was too much.
I've not done a lot over the weekend, a but of adulting and messed with my cameras. I want to do more video's for Insta / Youtube, but haven't had much practise. I think I will do a driving one first, in the Morris Minor, in my 50's ish polka dot dress.
I've been a bit naughty and bought two more wigs, but they are the same as some I already have. I got a brand new version of the platinum blonde with blue highlights, and a slightly used version of my go-to brown one off ebay. It was a bargain, so hoping it is OK when it arrives. Even with my own hair becoming an option, I still think I will want to wear them for going out.
Walked to Aldi yesterday, partly for exercise, partly for some variety on food, our local Asda doesn't really have much of a selection. I got some venison burgers to try.
I went for a run this morning, my ankles were not that happy, but it was good to get out. 6.6km in total, but I maybe only ran 3km of that.
Ooo, love the hairbands! And a centre parting would suit you fab (as I'm sure you already know). It was great to see you at Chams and thank you so much for giving me a lift! I'm just sorry I didn't chat with you more whilst we were there. I need to reassess my priorities! :) Not least because of the hair knowledge you have (I can just about do ponytail and, apparently, pigtails).
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your video of driving the Minor with a dress. Especially a 1950s style one - not that I am jealous or anything, oh no! ;) That selfie with Lynn is brilliant!
I've reverted back to a side one today, it's nice to have options :)
DeleteYes great to see you, and you don't need to feel at all sorry about not chatting more ! and you are most welcome on the lift, no trouble at all.
The minor will make it to Chams one day i'm sure, should you desire it for a photo prop, the price would be very reasonable :)
The idea of a 50s dress teamed with the Morris sounds like a winning combination. Picnic on the green, ma'am? 🙂
ReplyDeleteI may have a spare and unworn corset going if you're interested. I should add, an evening in that will prevent ingress of biccies 😁 Oh and thanks for sharing where you got your face dress from. Some fab items over on Popsy.
Ooo if i could get a live cricket match in the background too that would be great.
DeleteI would certainly be interested in trying the corset if you had no need for it, I've got a couple of cheap ones, but it's hard to size them when ordering online.
I do drool over the new popsy patterns, I might have to treat myself to another one next month. Spent too much this month.
