Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I see the Duke of Edinburgh has died. He had a good innings. I thought they had sent him home to die.

Who needs a hairdresser when I have a Mr WD that can. Got him to chop 2 or 3 inches off the bottom just to get rid of the Frizzy bits :laugh:
PICTURE !! please , so we can judge his hairdressing skills. I put colour into her indoor's hair ( she had a badger streak when she parted it in the middle) and she wants me to trim an inch or two off plus fringe trimmed. Women are becoming desperate from lack of hairdressers. I suggested she let it go grey/silver but shes thinking it would make her look older. I think women with greyish/silvery hair look very attractive , don't know what other men think:eek:

There are not many blonde bits left now. It's mainly gray:laugh:

I totally agree that women with grey hair can be very attractive. Mrs GM has a fabulous mop of grey hair that other women envy....but I made a fatal mistake the other week when I was hoovering, I said I'm surprised you've got any hair left after the amount I've just hoovered up. Needless to say she wasn't happy!
Me and my tactless big mouth.:rose:

See, us men have our uses, not many, admittedly....

I am trusted to do Mrs @BoldonLad's hair colouring (not allowed to say dye, it is just a tint you understand to cover the odd grey hair) ;)

I have volunteered to take the scissors and/or hair clippers to her hair during lockdown, but, have been firmly rebuffed ;)

I only allow him to cut my hair because its long and he can hardly go wrong by just taking a couple of inches off the bottom....

I have also been puzzled about LED lights in so far as I want more light input but wonder if there is a heat hazard for globe lights. I have an idea LED generate less heat than incandescent lights.
I prefer natural hair color, whatever it is, and would rather go baldheaded than wear a toupee. Falsifying one's appearance seems unecessary and it seems too much emphasis is put on appearance instead of character. I am probably just cranky because this girdle is making it unpleasant to eat as much as I would like.
PaulSB, I don't have an FA but I do have a broker I get along with. I inherited a few bucks in 09 when Dad died. And I inherited his broker as well. He since retired and his son is now my broker. We get along well and have friendly chats when needed, and because we both listen carefully when the other is talking there is little friction. I do believe that honest feedback with anyone with whom I do business is necessary. How can they fix a problem if they don't know what your concerns are? If they don't like hearing my concerns I find someone else.
23C yesterday and 4 inches of snow on the grass this AM. I will amuse myself with indoor stuff although if the streets dry a bit there may be riding. I have ridden113 miles so far this month so a day off won't kill me. However, the more I ride the more I skimp on resistance training, stretching and yoga. Got to do better with that.
My neighbor and I went looking for sheepherder wagon sites yesterday but that failed. Got some other places to check out after the weather changes, though.
Be safe and well.

This afternoon I’ve been assembling an IKEA desk with Mrs Tenkaykev. It was due to be delivered on Sunday but was rescheduled to today. DPD was the delivery company, we have the phone app that tracks your delivery and overlays a graphic on a road map that shows where the driver currently is and the ETA for delivery “ John is currently on delivery number 24, you are delivery number 39 “

It got nail bitingly exciting at one stage, we were both glued to the window and caught a glimpse of the van as it passed the end of the road.😁
I Did suggest to Mrs Tenkaykev that next time we should clear off the dining room table and attach the local ordnance survey map to it with sellotape. We’ve got a Dinky toy van that belonged to our grandson and that could be placed at the current van location on the map, and as the app updates I would announce the current position While Mrs Tenkaykev manoeuvres it using a wooden pusher. I also requested that she wear a WRAF uniform complete with a peaked cap and suggested that after a successful mission a bit of “ fraternising “ might be in order 😁
