Oldhippy
Cynical idealist
I cut six inches (measurements old people use kids) off my beard the other week and two people asked if I had new glasses as I looked different!

I had a beard at one time and when it got too itchy I shaved it off. People I knew walked past me in the street as they did not recognise me clean shaven. Took a while for it to register with them.

An annoying encounter this morning.
I walk with a stick generally in open spaces and hirple a bit as well.
Parked near the petrol pumps to fill a can and waited while someone I had never seen before filled his tank taking great care to squeeze every last drop into his tank. Probably a tourist or a recent settler.
When he finished rushed over to take my can to fill but was told the pump would not work until he had gone into the office to pay. Meantime I waited until he emerged and started to fill my can. He rushed over and insisted he do it for me and despite me saying no it was ok I could manage he persisted with his face with no covering far too close to me." JUST GO AWAY " was the only way I could get rid of him.ðŸ˜

On Bradford today and was told I'm not me, and that I don't live where I do.
This from Bill the builder, who was stuck in traffic on Wakefield Road. I'd to go back over 21/2 lanes to be told this, along with the fact he reckoned I had a slate loose, on the roof.
"Where else would you find slates?" didn't go down too well.
He's calling tonight around 7pm.

The squash has been tamed. 
Was a random one I bought in Tesco a while back when they had a selection for sale. Turns out it's a variety of spaghetti squash, so the flesh kind of unravels when you try to cut it. Messy, but it's now in a roasting tin with some dripping and lots of garlic.

Hmmmmm... I don't think so. More likely pixies!

Could be the pink fire extinguisher powder a marshal friend of mine found in the extinguisher she used at Silverstone at the weekend...

I thought you said it was a beard ?
Unless it starts singing about chimneys and speaking in a bad cockney accent I'll assume that's the case...
